SUBJECT: SPIRALSCOUTS TAKES ROOT IN ANTRIM
Like the great oak tree that starts as a single seed, a growing organization has taken root in Antrim. Silverling Circle #58, the New Hampshire chapter of SpiralScouts™ International, is branching out and offering the opportunity for families throughout the Monadnock and Contoocook Valley regions to join. Founded in 2002, Silverling Circle is part of a growing organization that offers an alternative to traditional scouting organizations.
Open to both boys and girls, SpiralScouts™ involves children and parents working together in activities that center on ecology, inclusiveness, gender balance, and diversity, encompassed in an Earth-honoring spiritual worldview. Scouts earn badges and pins while learning outdoor and life skills, developing self-confidence and trust, and building friendships and community ties.
The founder and Co-Leader of the Circle, Jess Baribault, moved to Antrim in September with her son and twin daughters. While many of the Circle’s members still live in the Manchester area, Jess is hoping that the move will provide a chance to open the Circle to families in this region. “We are a unique group. We have so much fun and learn so many things about our selves, each other, and our world. I’m glad to be at home here, and looking forward to welcoming some new faces.”
SpiralScouts meets monthly, generally the third Saturday of each month, and generally in a different place each month depending on the activity. Past activities have included apple picking, snow shoeing, overnight camping, hiking, swimming, and trips to farms, the planetarium, America’s Stonehenge, Audubon centers, state parks and preserves, and even the seacoast, where the group picked up litter as a community service project. Scouts also take turns meeting in each other’s homes, for crafting, cooking, storytelling, and group activities.
This fall the group will participate in activities centered around Samhain, the traditional Celtic festival of the ancestors, which preceded modern-day Halloween. Later this winter they are planning a traditional “Yule Celebration in the Ancient Tradition, ” with stories and ornamental crafts for children, a simple ceremony, displays and workshops, chocolates and baked goods for sale, and pagan carols.
Silverling Circle runs the youngest of the three SpiralScouts™ programs, Fireflies, which is geared for children ages 3 through 8. The group hopes to spark enough interest to eventually form a second group for the 9-14 year olds. Anyone interested in volunteering in a leadership role is encouraged to contact Jess Baribault for more information.
