Our Ongoing Projects
some special projects that are close to our heart
These are some of the special projects we have going on at the moment
Developing our website is one of ourmain concerns. We want a fun theme with lots of pics on what we do and have to offer. We also intend on adding a wealth of information on badges and other activities. Further we would also like to do the email drives. The idea is to supply every scout with a @1stHenleyscouts.co.za email address to boost comunication between scouts on a local, national and hopefully international level. These email messages would pass through content filters to ensure safe and appropriate use of the system. This is however just an idea and will be discussed at length and tested first. You are welcome to send your comments to the web site administrator: admin@1sthenleyscouts.co.za
OUR TEAM
The hard-working team that so eagerly donate their time to ensure our kids learn safely while having fun in the great outdoors
Cubs is the building blocks for your Scouting career. It’s a time to escape from your normal routine and have a ton of fun while learning to explore your inner side that you never knew existed. When you are of the age to depart from the Pack you will be filled with a wealth of knowledge and know how to explore nature and love nature for what it is. “We don’t stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing” Author unknown.
The scouts motto is “Be Prepared” and this is what one starts to learn in scouts. Scouts is about learning more skills, working in a team, advancing to higher levels at your pace. There is no more holding hands and doing things for you, you now have to learn to do things for yourself and this means lots of mistakes which gives you lots of experiences. It’s about taking younger scouts under your wings and teaching them the way of scouts. As scouters, we will always be there to help and guide you but won’t be giving you the answers as you are now grown up enough to start finding out the answers for yourself. Have fun, get dirty, meet new friends, improve your skills, appreciate nature, find ways to help your community and become the best person you can be as a scout.
“You cannot get through a single day
without having an impact on the world around you.
What you do makes a difference
and you have to decide
what kind of a difference you want to make.”
~ Jane Goodall
