Our District is running a District event. First for 3 years*.

Not a Camp unfortunately. It is an Activity Day at one of the Scouts National Activity Centres though.

For Squirrels, Beavers and Cubs.

Hooray!

(*That I know of, but I’d be surprised if I’m wrong. Last was a Cubs Football Tournament)

First badge of the year sewn on to something. And I managed to not sew the pocket of my fleece shut in the process which is an added bonus. 🐿️

I’m still on Series 1 of Hey Duggee. Does Roly ever shut the door when leaving their home? Their parent never notices.

The Narrator is clearly an Assistant Leader or Group Leader as he’s in the place along with them, interacts and knows things.

Maybe the Quartermaster? He knew there were boxes stored away.

Clearly gives no programme input though, continually wondering what’s happening that week…

Excellent.

We’ve started a new provision for four and five year olds called Squirrels, to help young people gain skills for life.

When I first opened my package and saw the Scout And Proud badge I thought “that looks different, have they added a Squirrel?”

Just checked, and they have! It has the old version on One Stop Scouting’s website. I recommend them, great service, by the way.

Squirrels are getting everywhere @CaroleHeidi… 😆

Old badge left, new badge right.

I heard there were Scottish Scouts on TV yesterday afternoon.

It was a Scout Group from Greenock on the west coast, Sections from Squirrels through to Network. Very fancy Scout building that, very swish, and with a climbing wall on the side!

Can you imagine the look on their faces if any of us turned up to a Meeting or Camp dressed like Cecil?! 🤡 😂
