Meerkat adventures at home!

As the lockdown continues, so does Scouting at home. Karen Gebhardt, Den Scouter for the 35th Pretoria Meerkat Den shares the adventures of her Meerkats at home!

6 Meerkats went camping in their own homes.

They built blanket forts or put up tents in their houses.

They braaied, washed up, tidied up and set their kit out for inspection.

They built campfires and sang songs.

They made breakfast.


And with their siblings had a Scouts/Cubs/Meerkats’ Own where they all took turns singing songs and saying prayers.

When Granny Meerkat Sherley Southworth saw what the Meerkats had been up to, she said “It made me so excited to see how even the littlest members of SCOUTS South Africa are learning new skills and having fun during lockdown. Stand Tall!”
