Prior to the restrictions on group gatherings, members of the Leeton organisation took part in the Riverina Raft Regatta where they were defending their trophy from the year before.

The Leeton Scouts gave it their all in building their rafts and competing, but were unable to retain the silverware, with first place going to West Wyalong in convincing fashion.

More recently, members of the group made sure to still mark Anzac Day in the shire.

Scouts, in socially distanced fashion, laid wreaths and crosses at the town's cenotaph, while pausing to remember the sacrifices made.

While they have been unable to gather as a group, they have been able to complete various activities thanks to "scouting at home".

Every week, challenges have been set for the young community members to complete.

These have included baking, making and creating in all forms of different ways to ensure they remain engaged with the organisation, but also their peers.

Many also took advantage of the school holidays at home by setting up camps in their backyards, testing their outdoor skills at the same time.

Scouts NSW chief commissioner Neville Tomkins said while times had changed, it was important to still stay strong.

"With the federal and state governments starting to relax some social distancing restrictions, I have asked our COVID-19 taskforce to closely monitor developments and to advise me when we might be able to resume face-to-face Scouting," he said.
