Covid - 19 Special Programme for YMCA Scouts

In order to face the challenges of Covid 19 to the Scout and Children's Programmes, YMCA of Pamunugama has initiated this special project. Under this new initiative,  a work guideline (manual) has been prepared for the scouts where they have to involve in six different activities through out a month. Some of the activities are to be continued and scheduled to be a part of the regular Children'S programme of the YMCA of Pamunugama. 


Under this one month work plan scouts are requested to complete following tasks and report back to their leaders.
  • Home garden (min size 4m x 4m): Details are provided on how to set up a simple home garden in the booklet. Five types of seeds are provided and 2 additional fruit plants has to be added to the home garden.
  • Be good at home: Help parents or do a kind act and make a note of it on the booklet. And also refer it to the scout law.
  • Let’s get use to a healthy life by following good habits. (Write a poem, essay or make a painting)
  • Life skill training: Make your own food at home and share with the family. Scouts has to make a note of what they have made and get comments from parents.
  • Be creative and make something useful: It can be a handicraft, tool or anything that can be useful in day today life. Children has to describe how it is made and how it can be used.
  • Asker / Pamunugama badge: This is for those who have not yet received the badge. Under this task scouts has to write a letter to Asker Scout friend and to make a written presentation on Norway.
At the end of the 1st month (starting from 18 June 2020) the progress will be evaluated and scouts will be appreciated and awarded. YWCA YMCA Scouts of Asker has agreed to be the partner and sponsor for this Project and also provided ideas and motivation from the beginning.
