Session Planning
If you just want ideas for games/activities go to Games/Activities pages at http://www.malahideseascouts.ie/leader-resources-training/games/sections/. For information on programme planning and overnights planning read on!
To plan your first 6 weeks back at the start of the Scouting year, SI have prepared a 6 week programme resource for Beavers:
If you want to plan out sessions more thoroughly, Scouts UK has a useful planning tool for all sections. I think the easiest way to use the tool is to choose the ‘add new term’ button and then the ‘beaver’ option. You can use a pre-made plan to start. For example, see Session 2 for Beavers below. It gives an outline of the session. If you want more details you click on it and it gives you timings plus details of equipment needed for each game and downloads of how to play each game:
The planning tool can be accessed here: https://www.scouts.org.uk/programme-planner/plan.
Some sample plans from our own MSS Beaver Sections can be accessed below:
