Thursday Keas Evenings

A Closer Look at Keas

Young participants arrive for a lively Keas session focused on games, stories and simple skill-building activities. The evening starts with a welcome circle where everyone shares news, followed by a mix of indoor games, craft projects and short outdoor challenges when conditions allow. Leaders guide the group through age-appropriate tasks that encourage teamwork, curiosity and basic scouting skills in a structured yet playful format.

This weekly Thursday evening gathering suits children in the Keas age range who enjoy hands-on learning and group play. Sessions run in a small-group setting that lets everyone take part at their own pace while building confidence and friendships. The format stays consistent each week so children know what to expect and can look forward to favourite activities.

The Mosgiel Scout Group runs these Keas meetings for current members only. Families already involved appreciate the reliable schedule and familiar faces that make each evening smooth and enjoyable.

• Team games that build coordination and cooperation
• Simple craft projects using everyday materials
• Short stories and discussions about nature and helping others
• Basic outdoor skills introduced through play
• Group challenges that reward effort and participation
• Time for free play and socialising at the end

Location and Directions

The Keas sessions take place at the scout hall in Mosgiel. The neighbourhood setting makes it straightforward for local families to reach by car or short walk. Arrive a few minutes early to settle in before the welcome circle begins. The hall provides a dedicated indoor space with room for both active games and quieter table activities.
