1stOxtedScouts

  1. Yesterday an informative and instructive half hour on the phone with the DC, hearing some history and why hard changes are now happening...
  2. District cub camp prep: A pleasant hour with the Cub leaders sorting out our 4x6m mess tents, which were jumbled up after winter camp.
  3. This week it is geo-caching for both Troops, though with different emphasis, location and leaders, the two nights will be quite dissimilar
  4. Chalkpit Scouts conducted another successful open fire cook up of Bolognese. Some adults can't do that on a stove!!
  5. Is ANY modern Scout "training" really to do with enriching the lives of youngsters, or is it really about insurance and reducing liability?
  6. Barrow Green Scouts did real good cooking bolognese from scratch over open fires last night.
  7. Bike Sale last saturday...Scouts Monday and Thursday. Group Exec Wednesday. Maybe I'm just bone idle?
  8. I've quite enough to do in the local comunity this week without "Scout Community week" as well!
  9. @Hstgreenscouts ideally white water, but they've already written back and said they can't fit that in. General watersportsy-stuff.
  10. Anyone been to Holme Pierpont near Nottingham for watersports? Does it come recommended?
  11. I think my colleague may have been looking at a different weather forecast re tonights proposed open fire cooking...and the rain came down..
  12. BBC: Scouts challenged by Secular Society over Promise bbc.in/HSgtNs As a Christian I approve of the Promise. What do you think?
  13. BBC News - Scouts to undertake volunteer projects in Community Week bbc.in/KiBJOq must have slept through that announcement!!
  14. 1st Oxted Bike Sale on Saturday raised £1471 clear proft. Thanks to all parents, friends and uniformed young people for their efforts!
  15. Master Park is very wet so vehicles will not be permitted onto the grass for the Bike Sale
  16. 1st Oxted Scouts Bike Sale tomorrow, bit.ly/zKr6XR
  17. How to translate that visit to Troop 55 into actual Global Challenge Badges on the shoulders of our Scouts - aye, thats the rub...
  18. I am an Ayn Rand reading individualist in private but as a GSL I am much more top-down, controlling and very much a collectivist.
  19. Visiting a US Scout Troop shows how dissimilar are the UK and the US. Same language, different worlds. Same Movement, different philosophy.
  20. Interesting American camp cook book. These guys have a very sweet tooth! Need to buy a Dutch Oven to try some of these recipes
