Week 7: Skills Night for Scouters
Monday November 8th, 8 pm and 10 pm
This week's challenge is all about fun! You don't have to go to the gym or play a sport to be physically active! Getting outside is what Scouts do- it's why makes Scouts, well Scouts! Let your youth put their brains to work and explore all the activities that are great for both their physical and mental health.
Giving Tuesday
Tuesday November 9th, 8 pm
Scouting around the world has always been known for doing good deeds. And Giving Tuesday is the world’s largest generosity movement. So what a perfect pairing in 2021 that includes a Scouting/Guiding favourite: a crest for groups that complete the activity! Show the world you are an “official giver” on your camp hat, campfire blanket, or wherever you display your crests!
Week 8: Skills Night for Scouters
Wednesday November 10, 8 pm and 10 pm
Let’s see what your youth can build with their collection of gadgets! Have you ever done an activity related to STEM? If so, you are already working on Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure! Yes, your Scouting activities can explore Science, Technology, Engineering and Math and not look like school. It’s time to explore the Rube Goldberg Machine, STEM activities and how we can change the world with creativity, innovation, and the power of thinking outside of the box.
4-H
Friday November 12, 2021 8 pm
In a world where food is of the utmost importance and is one of the most important of basic needs, agriculture is working hard to do their part to insure a safe, secure, nutritious, sustainable and plentiful global food system. Learn what farmers in Canada grow and raise, how they produce it and what farmers are doing to insure the practices of farming are contributing to an efficient and responsible farming system that contributes to zero hunger. And, it’s not just farmers that can help achieve zero hunger – you can too! Discover how in this presentation by 4-H Ontario.
