Programming Page Re-org

Updated Resources No Comments

We have taken some time to reorganise the programming resources page on pr.scouts.com.au. Previously called “The Weekly Program”, it is now changed to simply “Programming”. It appears as Programming in the menus too.

Resource tabs have been rearranged to more logically organise the resources on the page as well.

Finally, the Plan>Do>Review> resources have been moved from the Fundamentals page to the Programming page.

The direct URL is now pr.scouts.com.au/programming/ and the old URL will also automatically redirect you to the new address if you have used it elsewhere.

(Bonus Fix: Have you been having some problems with the search? We think it’s working a bit better now!)

How To Prepare A Scouts’ Own

New Resources Updated Resources No Comments

The World Organization of the Scout Movement tells us that a Scouts’ Own is a gathering of Scouts. This can be in small or large groups. In smaller groups, Scouts are able to get involved, share their experiences, and see that spirituality is something that affects them and gives meaning and direction to their lives. In large groups Scouts can enjoy a collective experience, perhaps celebrating the shared values of Scouting and the impact this has on their lives.

A Scouts’ Own is an activity that helps us reflect on our connection with nature and the world around
us. We reflect on our place in the world and with our community. Scouts’ Owns are one way in which we can develop spirituality, however they are not religious services or observances.

Use this resources to help you create your own Scouts’ Own for your Unit, Patrol, or a larger gathering of Scouts. It has helpful hints about planning, doing, and reviewing your Scouts’ Own program, and includes information about how they can be incorporated into the Achievement Pathways.

An Overview of How To Program

Updated Resources No Comments

Although this is just a minor update – mainly just tidying up some of the program language, some typos, and updating the branding – we thought it was a good opportunity to remind you of the resource called Programming Overview, now updated on the Program Resources website.

All Scout programs should be adventurous, fun, challenging and inclusive for all Scouts involved. By following the programming model for each age section, young people are able to create a Scout program that is engaging and suitable for all members of the Unit or Patrol. Some Scouts may need support to contribute their ideas, and to deliver their ideas in the program.

This resource especially encourages you to ensure the Scout Method is prominent in your programs. The Scout Method is what ensures Scouting embraces non-formal education and learning, in order to achieve the Purpose and Mission of Scouting.

“When Old Meets New” the poster

New Resources Updated Resources No Comments

Our youth program is re-imagining Scouting for the 21st century. But what’s changing, and what should we expect when the old meets new?

This new program is being progressively implemented across Australia. As we see, hear and discuss the changes, there’s some important differences to be aware of.

When Old Meets New compares our old ways of doing things with the approach of the new youth program.

This poster has previously been viewed at major events and on the Scouts Australia website. Now you can download it here and put it up in your hall or meeting space!

The poster is available in the Scout Group Support tab, on the Other Resources page.

It would complement nicely the Elements of the Program Poster, also found under the Scout Group Support tab.

Scouts | Terrain Webinar Videos

New Videos Scouts | Terrain Updates No Comments

Video recordings of the webinars developed for our early adopters are now available in the dedicated new Scouts | Terrain page.

It is important to note that from feedback and what continues to be developed, Scouts | Terrain has already evolved and will continue to evolve from what can be seen in the videos. This means that the final product will be even better than what you see here!

Another change is the name. You might see “Traverse” on some screens. This was a possible name but it couldn’t be used in the end.
