 The Twyning Scout troops in Gloucestershire offer boys from the ages of six to 25 the chance of developing their survival skills and becoming an independent individual. Twyningscouts.org.uk provides parents and scouts the opportunity of viewing pages dedicated to its history and the range of activities that scouts get involved with.
One section of the site is dedicated to indoor activities and contains first-aid instructions, how to tie knots such as bends, hitches and stoppers, and a list of games and how they are played. The indoor activities are suitable for scout meetings on long winter evenings, and in the case of first-aid and knots, garner scout achievement badges.
Other indoor activities for scouts are map reading, compass use and country code tuition which will prepare scouts for hiking or camping in the summer months. To keep scout patrols on their toes and in a state of readiness for the summer activities, it is a good idea to take out the troop’s camping equipment and make sure it is clean and in a good state of repair.
The pages of twyningscouts.org.uk are a mine of information for scouts and parents. As well as the indoor activities there are sections devoted to the different activities and badges for beavers, cubs, scouts and explorer scouts. One very useful offering is the lyrics for campfire songs which can be downloaded. Scouts looking for new uniforms or accessories can follow site links to recommended suppliers.
