Rovering through winter

What kind of projects can a Rover Scout or a group of Rovers get up to in

the run up to Christmas

There is huge scope to give and not to count the cost so here are some

ideas If you have any major projects coming up let us know on the Rover

Scouts Facebook page

Christmas can be a tough time for many people and even the simplest

gestures can make a big difference Have you thought about

So yoursquore thinking about attending the Explorer Belt What do you need to be thinking about at this stage

bull Having a collection of hats

and scarves in your workplace

college andor family and donating

them to charity There are charities

around the country that would be

grateful of your donations On this

theme check out the websites of

the Simon Communities TRUST

Ireland Depaul Ireland or the Society

of St Vincent de Paul and see what

particular help you can provide at this

time of year Remember that as a Scout you can provide far more than

just money you and the Rover Scouts you know have many skills built

up over years in scouting which could be put to good use

bull A Christmas charity fundraiser like a Christmas morning dip

in the sea for a cause thatrsquos close to your heart Why not invite the

Building towards the Explorer Belt

bull WALK Try and get as fit as possible by any form of exercise but it is important to include walking in your routine Your aim is to

be able to walk long distances every day so that when you are on the expedition you can concentrate on all the other aspects of the Explorer Belt You should be training with your partner This way you will feel confident that they have trained just as well as you and you will also get to know them better Plan when and where you will train each week - bearing in mind that you should be doing both day and weekend hikes If you have not already begun START NOW You and your partner (if you have one if not time to start looking) should hike as much as possible Bring a rucksack with

you that contains more or less what you will be bringing on the Explorer Belt If you do not have all your equipment yet just use other items to mimic the weight On shorter hikes carry more gear that you intend to carry on the expedition Day hikes should build up to about 30km At least two weekend hikes should be done over distances of around 60 to 70km each Use these weekend hikes to assess how much gear you are carrying and if you have a sore back after two days you are carrying too muchbull Thinking about culture ndash Itrsquos probably time to start thinking about how you will engage with the culture of the location The location is due to be announced soon and so you will have an opportunity to begin to learn all about the event location soon Have you ever heard of the iceberg model of culture The idea is that like an iceberg only 10 of cultural values are generally considered ldquovisiblerdquo by people This includes things like art literature music and food Below the water so to speak lie 90 of cultural norms This includes things as diverse

Information is now available on the next major events on the international Rovering calendar All Rover Scouts should endeavour to attend at least one of these events in their time in Rovers

These gatherings of thousands of young adults are markedly different to events for younger teenagers like World Scout Jamborees The unique buzz must be experienced to be believed Watch this space for updates over the coming months

Rover Chill is a fun fantastic weekend for rovers from all parts of the country to gather together and network with each other the weekend is plan and ran by your National Reps It is held in Larch Hill Herersquos what happened this year

Rover Chill

Rover ChillA fantastic group of Rovers took part in Rover Chill on September 27th-29th The theme for the weekend was The Hunger Games Once everyone had arrived and checked in and pitched our tents we all gathered in the Millenium Room for the opening ceremony The Reps introduced themselves and split us into our Districts Then we played some fun ice breakers such as Carrots (ow) and moving statues After the ice was well and truly broken everyone headed back to the Training field to the Yurts where we all chilled out and got to know everyone betterOn Saturday morning everyone got up bright and early and headed off on our first activities This was where we learnt some of our survival games for the Hunger Games later on We built fires and made bread followed by learning how to set animal traps and how to camouflage ourselves so we wouldnrsquot get caught by the others We then took a quick lunch break and relaxed for a bit During this time we had the option to go screen printing We had all brought a light coloured or white tshirt and we got to print the Rover

Chill 2013 logo on our tshirts We did this using a screen and fabric paint and they looked unreal For the afternoon activities we were broken into three groups The first activity we did was developing and building a catapult which could be useful in the games During this everyone tested there catapults and one group used a group mascot that one Rover had brought with them Donrsquot worry he was caught safely

Everyone also took part in a photo shoot with the scout shop trying out some of the new gear which is really nice comfy and totally suitable to go camping and scouting in After this we did an activity with Maire about Messengers of Peace During this we discussed the different issues that arise in our different areas and what we could do to help Once the afternoonrsquos activities were done we all went off to prepare

Later on in the morning we go to listen to 2 more presentations one on Rover Action Week (RAW) and another on the Sea Scouts These were really interesting presentations and we were given information on a lot of brilliant opportunities that are coming up for Irish Rover Scouts

10

for the Hunger games We all changed into our white tshirt and gathered at the Yurt to await further instruction Each district received their team flag and set off to find a base to hide it in woods After everyone had found a base and returned the Hunger Games started with the sound of a horn A fight to survive ensued as each district tried to capture the other districts flags Eventually through the use of water balloons we had determined the winning district Everyone went to change and get dried off and then we cooked our dinner for the murder mystery Those that had costumes with them got changed and we all headed to the old time riding club to have some fun and get up to mischief while trying to find out who murdered Oakley During this we had dinner all while staying in character and trying to find clues There was also a horse race where we could bet Once this was all over we established who was the richest and solved the important question of who murdered Oakley After the murder mystery everyone headed back to the training field to chat or go to bed The next morning we all got a bit of a lie in before getting up to do Tai Chi with Fr Dave During this session Fr Dave thought us how to relax our muscles and help disperse tension This was brilliant and well needed after our busy weekend Once this session was complete we got the opportunity to talk to different groups and teams from Kandersteg International Scout Centre Scouting Irelandrsquos International Team and the Contingent Leader for the Irish Contingent going to the World Scout Jamboree in Japan in 2015

Once this finished we reviewed the weekend with the Rover Reps and then held the closing ceremony Then everyone headed back to site dismantled their tents and headed home

way to have it open to all without having to Login in at all We are now please to say that this have been achieved and the resources are now opened up to all no matter whether you have made the transition or not

Venture Scouts Paint Kilcully Red

ldquoOriginally designed as a second take on Ventact The Venture Games

soon began to take its own slant on things and quickly became its own

event in its own right Its idea (based around the hunger games) was

simple yet effective and there was never a dull moment during the week

From a casino night where the most avid of gamblers went home with

riches beyond anyone ventures beliefs (In the form of fried chicken from

KFC) The morning drew early and the weather was terrible to say the

least but that didnrsquot stop the ventures from running around with paint

attacking each other until there were no visible patches of clothes left To

say it was fun was the biggest understatement of the scouting Year

district had to beat the games in as little lives as possible The top two challengers from each district went to the final where they were tested physically and mentally with a large crowd cheering them on Later that night a campfire was held where a mixture of classic campfire songs ukulele tunes and guitar skills were unleashed The most talented group of venture scouts we have seen in a long time The Sunday dawned early and the socialising grew and grew Nobody wanted to leave and left even a few tears in some of the manliest of young men there Overall for what the event cost it was by far one of the most eventful and fun-filled events of the

Everyone got into the hunger games mood and made it their mission to take out the opposition ndash which turned out to be anyone with paint Eventually district 12 won imitating the first book The day went on and ventures had the impossible task of washing the paint off their hair some even went home with dark blue scalps Then came the Cube the most challenging and overwhelming event with 4 different bases each having a game from the cube where each

Internet Age Seminar Ukraine report

The conference consisted of both volunteers and paid employees of

volunteer organisations each representing various types of organisations

scouting guiding work camps and exchange projects There were people

present from Ireland the UK Poland Germany Hungary and Russia to

name a few

such as ldquohow has the internet changedrdquo ldquowhat is the quality of the internetrdquo and ldquowhat new tools has the internet brought to your organisationsrdquo Usually during work shops like this the group was divided into several smaller groups consisting of different people each time We completed other small work shop ideas such as the ldquosilent forumrdquo where ideas and opinions were all added to sheets of paper and no one spoke The morning session ended with a debate on ldquocan you be a volunteer only online or do you have to be active offline

The seminar began with ice breakers and everyone introducing themselves their organisations and saying a little about what they hoped to give and receive from the seminar The organisers of the event introduced the various topics we would be going through as well as their idea for ldquoenergisersrdquo to get everyone moving before each section and mixing with each other The organisers of the seminar used a lot of moving exercises and hands on methods of comparing ideas and sharing informationDay 2 started by asking questions

alsordquo Myself and the representative from IGG Katherine played the reporters in this workshop while the two sides of the debate made their points to a ldquotribunalrdquo

The afternoon session was based around marketing your organisation and involved a market stall type arrangement for people to talk about what work their organisation did and how it was carried out SI and IGG teamed up for this part of the seminar and Irsquom happy to report we were one of the first stalls everyone came to After this we formed a

24

ndash Moira Reilly

to 3 seconds In the evening of day 2 we had dances from each country which got everyone mixing well

Day 3 we divided into groups and began to research campaigns Each group found common links between them clear and specific topics people can relate to it specific and simple action (invite the public to act) and result orientated All these common links worked as the keys to a successful campaign We then started to brainstorm other campaign ideas environment animal welfare mobility

circle within a circle the outer circle moved so that we could speak to a new person for each question that was given to the group These questions were short and snappy and designed to get out first thoughts on the topic as the answer Some of the questions were very simple like ldquohow long do you think it takes someone to decide whether or not they will stay on a website they visitrdquo A lot of people answered with 1 minute but the answer turned out to be 2

volunteering elderly people human rights and education were some of the examples We divided into groups in which we each took a topic and were given 4 minutes to write a plan based around the 4 links for a successful campaign We then rotated our sheets of paper and repeated eventually filling 6 pages per group with 6 ideas which were then compiled centrally so we could work from all the ideas Once again we were divided into groups and spoke about which internet tools were the most interesting to our organisation and how they could be used by similar organisations Common internet tools such as Flickr Wordpress Google were

25

mentioned frequently but some were completely new to me such as Prezi (similar to Powerpoint)

On day 4 we began with a lecture on websites specifically the layouts usefulness efficiency making sure they appear interesting We divided into groups to critic and analyse each otherrsquos organisationrsquos websites find the good and bad points We analysed our findings as a group and the lecturer Hilko provided his own feedback After this Hilko taught us about designing landing pages and had us make a mock up landing page for practise The directions were to keep it

Volunteer campaign we focused on Facebook Youtube and Twitter using videos photographs and links to articles on Facebook and TwitterAfter this we had several lectures on building effective websites social media with organisations and content within Facebook blogs and websites We effectively learned about these topics while listening to the lecturers as well as contributions from the entire grouprsquos participants We also continued to work on and off on the campaigns until the last session where we presented our progress and what our further aims were for the future

simple short have one primary direction and a small specific level of important informationAfter lunch we started to work on our own campaign ideas resulting in the formation of the ldquoI Do Volunteerrdquo Facebook page raising awareness of the volunteering in which people are involved in across the world starting with Europe We each gave a miniature presentation as part of our teams about the campaign we were setting up and the entire group was able to ask questions and give feedback

Day 5 began with work on the campaigns setting up Facebook and Twitter pages making promotional videos and taking photographs All the people at the seminar contributed to an overall list of common websites and media devices that could help some or all of the campaigns Each campaign group explained which areas of media they were going to focus on and why they had chosen them For the I Do

of the campaigns At the end of the final session we all gave our feedback on what we found to be effective during the seminar what could use work and what wersquod like to see from a future seminar

Overall I felt this seminar as an extremely effective learning experience both from the coordinators of the seminar and the other participants Learning from so many other organisations from across Europe was a great experience and I have picked up valuable information and skills to use with Scouting Ireland I feel I have also made connections with other organisations which could lead to future international work and projects

Clane Cub Hike

By Maciek Kwasnik Cub Scout age 10

On the 20th of October we 5th Kildare Clane went on a hike to Fairy

Castle

to hide from that wind ndash we went to the edge of a little forest We had chicken noodles and hot dogs (my six cooked them) and we also had sausages with fried onions mixed with mashed apples (yum) After food we only had twenty minutes to finish the hike so we quickly went to the rifle range to find some old rusty bullets I found 6 bullets I could have much more if had more time there ndash they were very easy to find We quickly finished the hike afterwards

I really enjoyed the hike it was a great day even though it was rather hard and tiring still we had a lot of fun Next time we wished to have a longer hike

Before the hike we had to check the weather forecast and pack our bags We made together the list of what to pack few days earlier in the den In the den as well we picked the food that we wanted to cook on the hikeWe started at Tiknock and went to Three Rock ndash from there you could see nearly all of Dublin from Phoenix Park to ferry port in Duacuten Laoghaire Then we went to the original Fairy Castle Then we went to Two Rock and it was very windy all the way As we wanted to cook some food we needed

got ourselves organised and then began our hike at about 1100 Our

group was made up of seven Scouts three of whom are new to the Scout

We started our hike by following the Minersrsquo Road where we stopped

briefly to look across the Upper Lake to St Kevinrsquos Bed said to be where

St Kevin lived There is also evidence that people lived in the valley for

thousands of years before the monks arrived We continued past the

lsquoAn Spincrsquo and means lsquopointed hillrsquo On the way down again we stopped at the viewing point overlooking the Upper Lake

Minersrsquo village and then climbed up the rough track close to the waterfall and stopped near the top to enjoy the viewWe crossed by the footbridge at the top into the picturesque Glenealo Valley and stopped in one of the ruins there for our lunch The Glenealo Valley is home to a large herd of deer and we were lucky enough to see a few deer grazing not too far from usWe then continued to follow the boardwalk around by the Spinc ndash the name Spinc comes from the Irish

We descended by the numerous wooden steps (600+) and continued back to the carpark down the steep trail passing the Poulanass Waterfall We were very lucky with the weather

in Glendalough We only had one short rain shower although it was quite blustery

This hike is graded as a Hillwalk covering a distance of 9km with a climb of 380m Our Scouts are working towards their Hillwalking Adventure Skills badges and are also in training with the intention of completing the Four Peaks which are the highest mountains in each of the four provinces They are Carrauntoohil (Kerry ndash 3414 ft)

Mweelrea (Mayo ndash 2688 ft) Slieve Donard (Down ndash 2796 ft) and Lugnaquilla (Wicklow ndash 3039 ft) They hope to achieve this over the coming year All members of the Group from Scouts upwards and including Scouters are invited to join them

They have already completed this hike in Glendalough before along with other hikes on the Slieve Bloom Way and in Lugnaquilla

Our Ventures (who have their own embroidery machine) are going to design and sew badges for us ndash one for each peak which will make up one complete badge if all four peaks are climbed

memories from their time there with them for the rest of their lives An organisation who assists in building such fantastic characters in people is one to be commended and to be supported at the highest levels I very much look forward to seeing how the Bandon Scout Troop will surpass this great achievement but I know through the work of the Scout Leaders and all the many Volunteers that it will be long before we see such an amazing achievement again and I vow here to give you my utmost support however I can now and in the future

party on 29th October 2013 The beavers gave their weekly dues to the

Temple Street Childrens Hospital ndash They had lots of fun at the party

playing games and of course eating sweets

I love going camping itrsquos always great fun This year our group decided to go on an indoor camp I was looking forward to it Our whole group was there I like when our group camps together because you see what the other sections do because you usually do an activity that includes everyone

When we arrived the cubs quickly became blacksmiths and started making swords and shields we had great fun chatting while we worked We painted them the next day some looked great

We had decided to try a medieval menu It was porridge and a fry for breakfast we cooked the fry for the group ndash cubs are good at frying and eating a fry After breakfast we were full and ready to work The older cubs taught the new guys how to do some lashings and we made our catapult It was a really nice sunny day and we put our catapult to the test with water bombs Sorry scouts thatrsquos another reason why we always pack our rain-gear
