Scouting and Guiding have a lot to give to Age Concern residents so it is good to know your talents are not being wasted. Make use of your training in both of these organisations for the benefit of the elderly which is always greatly appreciated, Songs, games, stunts, campfires, all can be adapted to the age group and loved. Take my word for it,

A great comment Owen and well done....bravo!! Once scouting and guiding are in your blood it never goes. The residents would remember being a part of likewise organisations too...eg Red Cross Brigade etc and these too have great ideas..give it a go everyone you and the residents will enjoy
More great thoughts Owen
A great idea from your Girl Guide days Joanne. As a Life Member of Scouts New Zealand I am introducing Scouting songs to our group as well with Ging Gang Goolie being caught on to be one of their favourites. They just cannot get it out of their minds.
I am sure that many former Scouts and Guides have a lot to give to their groups as many of their residents will have been in these organisations as well.
Owen ha ha that would be funny, I always incorporate Guide songs just can't help myself.
I have taken this activity one step further and actually put up a dome tent in the room along with camp bed, table, chairs etc and having been a girl guide, brought along some of my guiding things including my camp blanket with many many badges sewn on...this itself was a talking point. Many residents had never been camping, so we spoke about holidays that they have had and then we finished off with a singalong. Future days doing this I will include toasted marshmallows and damper.
Such lovely ideas, thanks for sharing Joanne!
