Scouts go wireless @ 3rd Carluke

Congratulations to the 3rd Carluke Scout Group who recently received a grant from Awards for All Scotland that they've used to purchase IT equipment for their Scout Group, including laptops, a printer, digitial camera and camcorder.

'The equipment will be used in all our sections, said Assistant Scout Leader, Maggie, 'we felt it was important not only to share information with the young people, but to allow them to find out how to safely use computers and the internet for themselves in a supervised environment that supports their badge work and helps develop skills and confidence in a fun way.'

Photos and video will also open up new creative channels of expression for the young people and will let them document scouting life over the year and share it through the Group's website at www.3rd-carluke-scouts.org.uk and others in the wider community.
