Scouts NZ free programmes for all NZ youth in lockdown
Scouts New Zealand Engaging the Wider Public
We have made a version of the Scouting From Home programme available free to parents outside of scouting. Parents can sign up at scouts.nz...
They will get the content on a one week delayed basis for engaging their young people. (Events like JOTI will not be profiled for them.) We will be working to get positive publicity around the Scouting From Home programme with a goal of connecting them to local groups when we return to community based scouting.
You can see an example of the free public programme Scouting From Home here drive.google.com...
We will be providing the content to parents at around 10am on Saturday mornings. We will try to be regular as clockwork on these programme drops. We are sharing this so you can manage expectations.
We will provide weekly programme drops to parents for the entire level four alert
Our recommended talking points are:
• As of 02 April, we are providing a version of our programme to any young people or parents in Aotearoa New Zealand looking for things to do. All they need to do is sign up for free digital delivery.
• We will make the programme available to non-members while we are at alert level four.
• This is our contribution back to our community. It won't come with the support of the wider scouting community - that is what our local Scout groups are for - but it will give parents a bank of ideas to keep young people engaged over the next several weeks.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
