Tonight, the Scouts talked about the important, relevant, but also difficult, topic of cyber-bullying and how it might affect them. They also looked at the pros and cons of social media. The children showed a maturity older than their years, when talking about the issues raised. We will continue this theme next week with a debate. The children will also design posters. For any parents wanting to explore these issues, please take a look at The Scout Association video:

If any Scouts are affected by any issues raised in these sessions, they are encouraged to speak to their Scout leader or other grown up they trust.
