Ok, not as catchy as the famous limerick that begins in a similar fashion but not even Duchesses get away without doing their training

Everybody in scouting who helps out more than once a month has to do some introductory training and the leaders do even more than that. Every section is led by at least one adult who is either in the middle of, or has finished, a 19 module training scheme that covers everything from the Data Protection Act to camping skills. Don’t worry, it’s all offered in bite-size chunks over a period of a few years.
Don’t let a lack of experience put you off volunteering, you name it and scouting can train you in it.
There’s a role for everybody in scouting

A really fun blast from the past for Thunder Troop – Scout staff drill – here was what the PLs worked from:

Tim was poorly so Phil and Von ran a challenge night for the explorers. (get well soon Tim)
Map symbol quiz
Logic puzzles
Marking by Von (thank you)
Flag quiz
As I left, they were playing a jumping challenge game and before I got there, they’d been knotting and doing something with hula hoops (i’m guessing a hula challenge).
We’ve done the slides, we’ve done the negatives and we have an archive of over 70,000 photos from our 67 year history at scoutsphotos.com
We’ve started on the films and 1990 is now online . You can subscribe to our youtube channel where we publish all our videos (edited and in full) Â but here are the edited (ish) videos that we’ve done so far.

After years of playing crab football in the hut we took some inspiration from The Paralympics and had a go at sitting volleyball and it was a brilliant success.

We followed it up with a rather chaotic world tradig game that let some of our younger scouts show their leadership skills. If we can turn them into PLs, we should have a fun few years ahead.
While we’ve been enjoying our time off, John has been hard at work sanding and painting the hut. He’s done half of it.and it looks awesome.
Woe betide any child trying to scrape this paint away!
We hope that you have a very merry Christmas and here’s a little video from all the scouts and explorers from our 2012 Christmas Card:

We would not be aboe to run without the support of many people and we hope you’ll keep being as wonderful in 2013.
We made it safely home with only a couple of hiccoughs. Everybody safe and healthy but rather sleepy. Facebook posts suggest that some of the scouts stayed home today but hey! I was in work at 8.30 today so no sympathy here 🙂
Obviously we discussed leaving him behind...
