Adrian Wray introduces a bumper challenge to last you all year, and opens the batting on another Network magazine Welcome to another issue of Network and as always it’s packed full of great ideas and articles. Summer is not only cricket season, it’s an ideal opportunity to get out and about and meet up with members that have been away during term time and also to get noticed as a Network.

100 club Why not take up our challenge of 100 things to do before you leave Scout Network? While carrying out the 100 challenges, you’re likely to get peckish so take a gander at Lee’s Top Three!

Fun in the sun The 2009 Sun Run brought Networks from around the UK together, with the challenge of walking 26 miles overnight.

CJ and Hannah, from Cheshire Network, share a joke during some downtime on the Saturday.

This issue we also take a look at the Nessie’s Network from the Scottish Highlands and the issue of bullying and how this can happen in Network as much as in the other sections.

Have a great summer and please let us know which of the hundred things to do before leaving Network you manage to achieve!

Lee’s Top Three

For your information

rd and wonderful Resident editor Lee Allwood digs up some wei es you to try facts from August and September, and challeng out some eye-popping ideas

FACT: The 11th Olympic Games opened in Berlin on 1 August 1936 Idea: Network Olympics Why not hold your own alternative Olympic Games, Network style?

Think up new events to make the competition interesting, for example: • Doughnut eating • Egg and spoon race • Welly throwing • Upside down darts Why not dress up as different countries and see whose anthem gets played?

FACT: August 1762.

The sandwich was named after the Earl of Sandwich.

It is claimed that John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, asked for meat to be served between slices of bread, to avoid interrupting a gambling game.

Idea: Sandwich Masterchef Run a sandwich-themed programme, with activities like: • A gourmet sandwich competition • Craziest sandwich inventions (Double decker? Triple tower?)

10

• Who can eat the most jam sandwiches in five minutes?

• Which team can build the highest free-standing sandwich?

FACT: 6 August 1962. Jamaica gains independence from Britain after 300 years Idea: Jamaican evening Hold a Jamaica style barbecue, with plenty of Reggae Reggae Sauce™ and jerk spices.

Include a limbo dance competition … how low can you go?

BONUS FACT: 18 September 1839 – Chocolatier George Cadbury was born Bonus idea: Chocolate Mayhem Chocolate provides an endless list of programme possibility … What ideas can you come up with?

• Name that brand, purely by taste • Cook a three course meal incorporating chocolate somehow in each course • Pimp your snack – Re-create your favourite chocolate bars but on a much bigger scale! Some great examples can be found at www.pimpthatsnack.com

Simply the ness!

With a geographical area bigger than Belgium and parts that are only accessible by three hour ferry trips, the Highlands and Islands Scout Network has challenges unique to the UK. However, in among the lochs, mountains and glens, a dedicated Network is going about its business.

Jamie Gordon reports

O

riginally started in Inverness, Nessie’s Network began to draw in members from other areas in the Highlands. Individuals from small towns and villages joined together to be part of the Scout Network. Being spread so far apart we rely on the internet and email for communication, as well as national events.

Three key elements to the programme are local monthly meetings, camping as participants and camping as staff. On the local front the Network meets on the first Sunday of each month, a chance to catch up and plan upcoming events. This is supplemented by other local events including training opportunities such as kayak coaching and powerboating, District events and taking Nessie (our mascot) on tour. The Network has a sprinkling of watersports qualifications in sailing, kayaking, powerboating and bell boats.

‘We get about’ A balanced programme has ensured a steady flow of members achieving their Queen’s Scout Award and some classic expeditions: a canoe trip down The Great Glen from Fort William to Inverness (which includes 12

Loch Ness) and by foot on the Speyside Way (whisky country!)

Each summer the Network look for an event to join.

The last few years have included serving as IST at Eurojam and the World Scout Jamboree along with the International Patrol Jamborette at Blair Atholl. Our skills have been utilised as watersports instructors, activity leaders, reception staff and on sub-camp teams.

Friendships made at these events have led to future programme items such as our first international excursion: a memorable weekend camp in Dublin. Hard to believe, but it was quicker to get there than to some parts of our area!

Our members are actively encouraged to attend Network camps in Scotland and beyond to make sure they participate as a youth section. Events in Scotland such as NAC (Network Activity Camp) and HUB are a great opportunity for fun and friendship and even new skills such as winter mountain skills. We make sure the programme’s not dominated by running activities for others.

Strongest link Linking with Explorer Scout Units is essential so that we

Network in focus

can get to know the older Explorers before they go to university. A successful event is the annual Nessie’s Network Challenge Shield. Now five years old, the quiz night pitches the Network against local Explorer Scout Units and Senior Section Guides. Held during the dark Highland winter it is an ideal opportunity not only to have fun with the quiz but also share photos from events held during the year. Gemma, an Explorer Scout commented, ‘It was amazing. I didn’t know that there were so many others my age in Scouts so close to me.’

With no university in our Region, it is inevitable that people leave to continue their education. This doesn’t stop some getting involved. Dual Network membership is one method used by David Morton, who splits his time between Aberdeen and Inverness and takes part in events with both Networks. He says, ‘For me one of the great things about Network is the flexibility, that you can be a member of more than one. Although I did all my Scouting from Beavers to Network in Inverness, I had to move away to Aberdeen to study Law. It was easy to join Network there, meaning I can join in all the action wherever I am, and I’m still welcome at Nessie’s whenever I’m back home.’

Future forays Looking forward, the Network shows promise of more growth with a local Network being set up in the Orkney Isles. The new regional structure in Scotland is also helping to coordinate Scouting for 18-25 year olds throughout the Highlands and Islands in a more formal structure and along with some new District Scout Network Leaders (who are all full of enthusiasm) Nessie’s Network is in good hands (or is that tentacles?) for the future.

When people think about bullying, they usually picture the bruiser in the playground. If not, they certainly link bullying to something that happens to boys and girls, usually at school.

The big picture is very different, and adult bullying is a serious issue

Not just in playgrounds T

his may sound drastic, but are there people within your Network who are being bullied?

Perhaps you don’t think its happening when in reality it is. 36 per cent of bullied adults are aged 18-30, bullying in the workplace is on the increase, and with advances in technology and social networking sites, ‘cyber bullying’ is a very real concern.

Bullying can take many forms and can be difficult to detect. Is harmless banter actually causing one person stress or unhappiness? Are the meetings that you and your Network hold inclusive? Do they exclude people unknowingly? Could you spot someone who is being bullied? What if they are too shy to speak up?

The Scout Association gives clear advice on bullying, and its Anti-Bullying Policy applies to adults as much as young people.

Taking many forms Bullying includes abuse, physical or verbal violence, 14

humiliation and undermining someone’s confidence. It can be face-to-face, in writing, over the phone, by email or on social network sites.

You are probably being bullied if, for example, you are: • constantly picked on • humiliated in front of fellow members • regularly unfairly treated • physically or verbally abused • blamed for problems caused by others • always given too much to do, so that you regularly fail in achieving your goals • regularly threatened with punishment • unfairly passed over for leadership positions or denied training opportunities

Phone a friend We spoke to Helen Church, an adviser at the Scout Information Centre, who told us what advice she gives to adults who have become the victim of bullying.

Network August/September 2009

NETWORK_NEW.indd 14

Problem page

1. The Scout Association’s Anti-Bullying Policy is a key policy of the Association and in Policy, Organisation and Rules. It applies equally to adults and children. www.scouts.org.uk/por 2. If the problem is occurring between adults in the same Group, talk to the GSL or District Commissioner.

For Network-related issues, talk to the County Scout Network Commissioner, or another trusted adult.

3. You can always talk through your problem with an Information Centre Adviser (0845 300 1818). The lines are open 9am – 6pm, Monday to Friday.

4. You are not alone. Sadly, bullying happens in all walks of life, in all parts of the world, and Scouting is not immune. It can be comforting to know that other people have gone through what you are, and have come through it.

March 2009, and over 95,000 people have registered for support and assistance on bullying-related issues.

Now Beatbullying need your help! Due to the great demand for the site, more mentors are needed to support these young people. Network members are eligible to become Senior CyberMentors, who provide help and support to young people who message them, and support the younger CyberMentors. Being a CyberMentor requires a four month commitment, consisting of about two hours a week. It can count towards the Service/Volunteering section of a Queen’s Scout Award or Gold DofE programme. Training is provided.

If you would like to know more, please send your details to programme@scout.org.uk

Mentors matter On a related matter, The Scout Association has begun a partnership with the charity Beatbullying, who recently launched a peer-mentoring social networking website run by young people for young people.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown launched the unique CyberMentors site – www.cybermentors.org.uk – in

Making amends

These two games are great to use for diffusing tension, or resolving conflict within the Network.

They encourage positive behaviour, active involvement and a team mentality. Friendship bingo also works well as an icebreaker

Compliments Envelopes (POL ref: 39397) This activity makes you find something positive to say about everyone, even if you’re not particularly friends.

It’s a good self-esteem booster for all young people to read what others have to say about them. It can also be a useful activity to promote friendship and helps create a positive and respectful environment where bullying isn’t welcome.

You will need: Pens White paper An envelope for each person, plus enough pieces of paper to fit in each envelope for each member of the group

Instructions – Sit in a circle – Give each member of the group an envelope and ask them to write their name on the front. Then give each of them enough pieces of paper for every person in the group, not counting themselves – Ask them all to pass their envelope clockwise to the person on their left – The group members then need to look at the name on the front of the envelope they have been given, 16

and on one of their pieces of paper write a compliment to the person whose envelope it is.

When they have finished, they put the paper in the envelope. You may need to help them think at first what sort of things they can write. For example, it could be something about the way they look, a thank you for something they have done or a compliment about something they are good at – Each envelope then gets passed on to the next person on their left, still in a clockwise direction. They then write a compliment to the person whose name is on the front of the envelope and put it inside – This activity continues until everyone’s personal envelope goes round the circle and back to them – Ask everyone to seal their envelope and take it home with them. They should wait until they are somewhere private to look at what people have written for them.

Tip Though there is a great temptation to write humorous things, the whole point of the game is to build up self-esteem and therefore don’t miss the opportunity to write something nice.

Games

SCOUTS.ORG.UK/POL

You can find both of these games, template bingo sheets and more on Programmes Online

Friendship Bingo (POL ref: 39245) Encourages the Network to find out more about each other and realise they share common interests.

You will need: Pens Pencil White paper

Instructions – Sometime before your meeting, sit down and identify certain things that you know about your members. Maybe you know that one of them lives on a farm, or goes to university, or has been to Australia to see their friend, etc.

– Come up with one fact per person and add each one to the bingo sheet. If you only have a small group, you could add two facts for each person to fill up the sheet.

– Give each member a bingo sheet. They need to talk to all of the members and ask them each to sign the box that relates to them.

– Everyone needs to fill their sheet with signatures. The first person who completes their sheet shouts ‘bingo!’

– Bring the Network together and go through the

answers. You could ask them to guess some of the tougher facts if they haven’t guessed already (with the winner’s help of course!)

Alternative to this game: Fill up the bingo sheet with random facts not specific to anyone eg has a red car, has been to Spain on holiday, likes The Simpsons, likes pepperoni pizza, etc. Then each member needs to get as many signatures as possible for each fact on their sheet. The game should be timed, perhaps 20 minutes, and each member needs to count up their signatures at the end. Give a prize, such as allowing the person with the most signatures to choose the next game.

Tip This is a useful icebreaker game to play at the start of an event comprising more than one Network, to stimulate a positive and cooperative atmosphere.

You will need to work with someone from the other Network(s) to ensure everyone is represented.

An example bingo sheet can be found on page 52 of Scout Network Taking the Lead, available from the Scout Information Centre. scouts.org.uk/pol
