In Scouts

It was the last night for our PLs before making the move up to explorers. They were given a very loud BRAVO and now we’re left looking for six new Patrol Leaders. I’m sure we’ll find some shining examples of scouting brilliance, willing, able, always listening and happy to help… that can’t be too tough, can it?!

George, Frank, Sam, Soph, Josh and Loic (plus Tom and Cormac)

And only a little bit late, here’s Jake being given his Chief Scout’s Silver Award. B-R-A-V-O

Earned in cubs but it’s been sitting in Chris’s drawer for a few weeks. Oops.

Outdoor Adventure Manual Published Today

On April 4, 2013

In Group

The Scouts have teamed up with Haynes to create this hands-on manual for enjoying the great outdoors.

The book is chock full of step-by-step guides to an array of scoutcraft skills like trekking, navigating, camping, firelighting and cooking and and there are hundreds of colour photographs in there too. Â You’ll find:

A brief history of the great outdoors and an introduction to scouting.
The world around you: geography, environment, weather and wildlife.
Camping: tents, wild camping, shelters, planning and packing.
Navigation: using the sun and stars, maps, compasses and GPS.
Fires and firelighting: quite simply all you need to know.
Food: wild plants, foraging, fishing, backwoods cooking, outdoor ovens.
Knots untangled: knots, lashings and pioneering projects.
Safety and first aid: dealing with emergency situations.

So it looks like a must-have for less than Â£15 and you can get it from Amazon hereÂ or Beckenham Bookshop will get it in for you (normally overnight) if you are buying local (ISBN 0857332821).

On March 30, 2013

In Scouts

We’re all members of the worldwide family of scouting – over 28 million of us in over 200 countries – and this week we took part in Jambowlree, against scouts across the globe.

By the way, Orpington Palace Superbowl were fantastic. Really helpful staff, Easter eggs for best bowler in each lane and generally brilliant at customer service. Highly recommended by us.

The results have been plugged into the website and now we’re looking forward to seeing how we’ve done. Fingers crossed….

For now, here’s how they did on the night, all with the bumper barriers up apart from our explorer/network team.

Pop-Up Dining Gourmet Night for Cancer Research UK

On March 28, 2013

In Explorers

They wrote out invitations to their parents, they planned the meal, they chose a charity (Cancer Research UK) and they served up a Gourmet Dinner for their parents.Â They had it all set up and put away again in less than 3 hours – google ‘pop up dining’ to see how hip we are… next thing you know, we’ll be wearing specs with no glass in.
