Welcome
Adrian Wray introduces a bumper challenge to last you all year, and opens the batting on another
Network magazine
Welcome to another issue of Network and as always it’s packed full
of great ideas and articles. Summer is not only cricket season, it’s an ideal
opportunity to get out and about and meet up with members that have
been away during term time and also to get noticed as a Network.
100 clubWhy not take up our challenge of 100 things to do before you leave Scout
Network? While carrying out the 100 challenges, you’re likely to get peckish
so take a gander at Lee’s Top Three!
Monster watchersThis issue we also take a look at the Nessie’s Network from the Scottish
Highlands and the issue of bullying and how this can happen in Network
as much as in the other sections.
Have a great summer and please let us know which of the hundred things
to do before leaving Network you manage to achieve!

Lee’s Top Three
For your information
Resident editor Lee Allwood digs up some weird and wonderful
facts from August and September, and challenges you to try
out some eye-popping ideas
FACT: The 11th Olympic Games opened in Berlin on 1 August 1936Idea: Network OlympicsWhy not hold your own alternative
Olympic Games, Network style?
Think up new events to make the
competition interesting, for example:
• Doughnut eating
• Egg and spoon race
• Welly throwing
• Upside down darts
Why not dress up as different
countries and see whose anthem
gets played?
FACT: August 1762. The sandwich was named after the Earl of Sandwich.
It is claimed that John Montagu,
the 4th Earl of Sandwich, asked for
meat to be served between slices of
bread, to avoid interrupting a
gambling game.
Idea: Sandwich MasterchefRun a sandwich-themed programme,
with activities like:
• A gourmet sandwich competition
• Craziest sandwich inventions (Double
decker? Triple tower?)
• Who can eat the most jam sandwiches
in five minutes?
• Which team can build the highest
free-standing sandwich?
FACT: 6 August 1962. Jamaica gains independence from Britain after 300 years
Idea: Jamaican eveningHold a Jamaica style barbecue, with plenty
of Reggae Reggae Sauce™ and jerk spices.
Include a limbo dance competition … how
low can you go?
BONUS FACT: 18 September 1839 – Chocolatier George Cadbury was born
Bonus idea: Chocolate MayhemChocolate provides an endless list of
programme possibility … What ideas
can you come up with?
• Name that brand, purely by taste
• Cook a three course meal incorporating
chocolate somehow in each course
• Pimp your snack – Re-create your
favourite chocolate bars but on a much
bigger scale! Some great examples
can be found at www.pimpthatsnack.com

12 Network August/September 2009
O riginally started in Inverness, Nessie’s
Network began to draw in members from
other areas in the Highlands. Individuals
from small towns and villages joined
together to be part of the Scout Network. Being spread
so far apart we rely on the internet and email for
communication, as well as national events.
Three key elements to the programme are local
monthly meetings, camping as participants and
camping as staff. On the local front the Network meets
on the first Sunday of each month, a chance to catch up
and plan upcoming events. This is supplemented by
other local events including training opportunities such
as kayak coaching and powerboating, District events
and taking Nessie (our mascot) on tour. The Network
has a sprinkling of watersports qualifications in sailing,
kayaking, powerboating and bell boats.
‘We get about’A balanced programme has ensured a steady flow of
members achieving their Queen’s Scout Award and
some classic expeditions: a canoe trip down The Great
Glen from Fort William to Inverness (which includes
Loch Ness) and by foot on the Speyside Way (whisky
country!)
Each summer the Network look for an event to join.
The last few years have included serving as IST at
Eurojam and the World Scout Jamboree along with the
International Patrol Jamborette at Blair Atholl. Our skills
have been utilised as watersports instructors, activity
leaders, reception staff and on sub-camp teams.
Friendships made at these events have led to future
programme items such as our first international
excursion: a memorable weekend camp in Dublin. Hard
to believe, but it was quicker to get there than to some
parts of our area!
Our members are actively encouraged to attend
Network camps in Scotland and beyond to make sure
they participate as a youth section. Events in Scotland
such as NAC (Network Activity Camp) and HUB are a
great opportunity for fun and friendship and even new
skills such as winter mountain skills. We make sure the
programme’s not dominated by running activities for others.
Strongest linkLinking with Explorer Scout Units is essential so that we
Simply the ness!
With a geographical area bigger than Belgium and parts that are only accessible by three hour ferry trips, the Highlands and Islands Scout Network has challenges unique to the UK. However, in among the lochs, mountains and glens, a dedicated Network is going about its business. Jamie Gordon reports
NETWORK_NEW.indd 12 14/07/2009 16:02

can get to know the older Explorers before they go to
university. A successful event is the annual Nessie’s
Network Challenge Shield. Now five years old, the quiz
night pitches the Network against local Explorer Scout
Units and Senior Section Guides. Held during the dark
Highland winter it is an ideal opportunity not only to
have fun with the quiz but also share photos from
events held during the year. Gemma, an Explorer Scout
commented, ‘It was amazing. I didn’t know that there
were so many others my age in Scouts so close to me.’
With no university in our Region, it is inevitable that
people leave to continue their education. This doesn’t
stop some getting involved. Dual Network membership
is one method used by David Morton, who splits his
time between Aberdeen and Inverness and takes part in
events with both Networks. He says, ‘For me one of the
great things about Network is the flexibility, that you
can be a member of more than one. Although I did all
my Scouting from Beavers to Network in Inverness, I
had to move away to Aberdeen to study Law. It was
easy to join Network there, meaning I can join in all the
action wherever I am, and I’m still welcome at Nessie’s
whenever I’m back home.’
Future foraysLooking forward, the Network shows promise of
more growth with a local Network being set up in the
Orkney Isles. The new regional structure in Scotland
is also helping to coordinate Scouting for 18-25 year
olds throughout the Highlands and Islands in a more
formal structure and along with some new District
Scout Network Leaders (who are all full of enthusiasm)
Nessie’s Network is in good hands (or is that tentacles?)
for the future.
Network in focus

14 Network August/September 2009
When people think about bullying, they usually picture the bruiser in the playground. If not, they certainly link bullying to something that happens to boys and girls, usually at school. The big picture is very different, and adult bullying is a serious issue
Not just in playgroundsT his may sound drastic, but are there people
within your Network who are being bullied?
Perhaps you don’t think its happening when
in reality it is. 36 per cent of bullied adults
are aged 18-30, bullying in the workplace is on the
increase, and with advances in technology and social
networking sites, ‘cyber bullying’ is a very real concern.
Bullying can take many forms and can be difficult to
detect. Is harmless banter actually causing one person
stress or unhappiness? Are the meetings that you and
your Network hold inclusive? Do they exclude people
unknowingly? Could you spot someone who is being
bullied? What if they are too shy to speak up?
The Scout Association gives clear advice on bullying,
and its Anti-Bullying Policy applies to adults as much as
young people.
Taking many formsBullying includes abuse, physical or verbal violence,
humiliation and undermining someone’s confidence. It
can be face-to-face, in writing, over the phone, by email
or on social network sites.
You are probably being bullied if, for example, you are:
• constantlypickedon
• humiliatedinfrontoffellowmembers
• regularlyunfairlytreated
• physicallyorverballyabused
• blamedforproblemscausedbyothers
• alwaysgiventoomuchtodo,sothatyouregularly
fail in achieving your goals
• regularlythreatenedwithpunishment
• unfairlypassedoverforleadershippositionsordenied
training opportunities
Phone a friendWe spoke to Helen Church, an adviser at the Scout
Information Centre, who told us what advice she gives
to adults who have become the victim of bullying.
NETWORK_NEW.indd 14 14/07/2009 16:03
Problem page
15scouts.org.uk/pol
See the Scout anti-bullying website at www.scouts.org.uk/bullying or visit Beatbullying’s site at www.beatbullying.org
more info
1. The Scout Association’s Anti-Bullying Policy is a key
policy of the Association and in Policy, Organisation and Rules. It applies equally to adults and children.
www.scouts.org.uk/por
2. If the problem is occurring between adults in the
same Group, talk to the GSL or District Commissioner.
For Network-related issues, talk to the County Scout
Network Commissioner, or another trusted adult.
3. You can always talk through your problem with an
Information Centre Adviser (0845 300 1818). The
lines are open 9am – 6pm, Monday to Friday.
4. You are not alone. Sadly, bullying happens in all
walks of life, in all parts of the world, and Scouting is
not immune. It can be comforting to know that other
people have gone through what you are, and have
come through it.
Mentors matterOn a related matter, The Scout Association has begun a
partnership with the charity Beatbullying, who recently
launched a peer-mentoring social networking website
run by young people for young people.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown launched the unique
CyberMentors site – www.cybermentors.org.uk – in
March 2009, and over 95,000 people have registered
for support and assistance on bullying-related issues.
Now Beatbullying need your help! Due to the great
demand for the site, more mentors are needed to
support these young people. Network members are
eligible to become Senior CyberMentors, who provide
help and support to young people who message them,
and support the younger CyberMentors. Being a
CyberMentor requires a four month commitment,
consisting of about two hours a week. It can count
towards the Service/Volunteering section of a Queen’s
Scout Award or Gold DofE programme. Training is
provided.

Making amendsThis activity makes you find something positive to say
about everyone, even if you’re not particularly friends.
It’s a good self-esteem booster for all young people to
read what others have to say about them. It can also be
a useful activity to promote friendship and helps create
a positive and respectful environment where bullying
isn’t welcome.
You will need:Pens
White paper
An envelope for each person, plus enough pieces of
paper to fit in each envelope for each member of the
group
Instructions– Sit in a circle
– Give each member of the group an envelope and ask
them to write their name on the front. Then give
each of them enough pieces of paper for every
person in the group, not counting themselves
– Ask them all to pass their envelope clockwise to the
person on their left
– The group members then need to look at the name
on the front of the envelope they have been given,
and on one of their pieces of paper write a
compliment to the person whose envelope it is.
When they have finished, they put the paper in the
envelope. You may need to help them think at first
what sort of things they can write. For example, it
could be something about the way they look, a thank
you for something they have done or a compliment
about something they are good at
– Each envelope then gets passed on to the next
person on their left, still in a clockwise direction. They
then write a compliment to the person whose name
is on the front of the envelope and put it inside
– This activity continues until everyone’s personal
envelope goes round the circle and back to them
– Ask everyone to seal their envelope and take it home
with them. They should wait until they are
somewhere private to look at what people have
written for them.
TipThough there is a great temptation to write humorous
things, the whole point of the game is to build up
self-esteem and therefore don’t miss the opportunity to
write something nice.
Compliments Envelopes (POL ref: 39397)
These two games are great to use for diffusing tension, or resolving conflict within the Network. They encourage positive behaviour, active involvement and a team mentality. Friendship bingo also works well as an icebreaker

Encourages the Network to find out more about each
other and realise they share common interests.
You will need:Pens
Pencil
White paper
Instructions– Sometime before your meeting, sit down and
identify certain things that you know about your
members. Maybe you know that one of them lives
on a farm, or goes to university, or has been to
Australia to see their friend, etc.
– Come up with one fact per person and add each one
to the bingo sheet. If you only have a small group,
you could add two facts for each person to fill up the
sheet.
– Give each member a bingo sheet. They need to talk
to all of the members and ask them each to sign the
box that relates to them.
– Everyone needs to fill their sheet with signatures. The
first person who completes their sheet shouts
‘bingo!’
– Bring the Network together and go through the
answers. You could ask them to guess some of the
tougher facts if they haven’t guessed already (with
the winner’s help of course!)
Alternative to this game:Fill up the bingo sheet with random facts not specific to
anyone eg has a red car, has been to Spain on holiday,
likes The Simpsons, likes pepperoni pizza, etc. Then
each member needs to get as many signatures as
possible for each fact on their sheet. The game should
be timed, perhaps 20 minutes, and each member needs
to count up their signatures at the end. Give a prize,
such as allowing the person with the most signatures to
choose the next game.
TipThis is a useful icebreaker game to play at the start
of an event comprising more than one Network, to
stimulate a positive and cooperative atmosphere.
You will need to work with someone from the other
Network(s) to ensure everyone is represented.
An example bingo sheet can be found on page 52
of Scout Network Taking the Lead, available from the
Scout Information Centre.
