Martial Arts Instructor Volunteers to Help Daisy Scouts With Courage and Strength
Tony Whetstine and Daisy Scout Troop 8633
Tony Whetstine, Owner and Instructor at Poway Samurai Martial Arts was pleased to donate his time recently to Daisy Scout Troop 8633, to teach them about Courage and Strength, which was their learning topic for that week.
“We covered how to be physically strong as well as have a strong character,” Says Tony Whetstine. “It’s important they learn to stand up for themselves and others by physically demonstrating and saying “no” if they feel endangered and also learning how to safely ask for help from parents and teachers, when they or others need it.”
Girl Scout Daisies meet in groups of 5 to 10 with two or more adult leaders in a nurturing, inclusive environment. They go on trips, learn about nature and science, and explore the arts and their communities. This week they were learning about Courage and Strength and the troop leader called Poway Samurai Martial Arts to ask if they could help teach those topics to the group.
“ I am always happy to volunteer my time in the community”, says Tony, “and I also encourage my students to do the same. I enjoy speaking and demonstrating safety techniques to groups of all ages, from Girl Scouts to Elementary and Middle Schools as well as Women’s Organizations and Senior Centers.” To schedule Tony to volunteer his time for your organization, please call #858-486-0059
