Scouts Canada launches COVID-19 help initiative
Scouts Canada has launched a new initiative that encourages families and youth to stay connected and active while practicing physical distancing from others.
The Scouting at Home initiative aims to enable families to participate in thoughtful, educational, and fun activities together that develop well-rounded skills – and of course, maintain safe physical distancing.
Each week, Scouts Canada is sharing a new list of tips and activities that are easy for Scouts and non-Scouts alike to put into play at home or online. The activities encompass Scouts Canada’s principles of learning by doing, ranging from community service to STEM, and are designed to encourage physical activity, curiosity, creativity, confidence, social connection and wellbeing.
Here are eight inspiring examples of community-focused efforts Canadians can take on to help those in need. Everyone can participate, engage with friends and family to join, and encourage others to help these efforts grow.
