Happy August & Happy Holidays

Just to say that my alter ego is off on his holidays today, the
laptop's going too but there'll be no online services. And as he has
to go, I have to go too! So you all can rest easy for a while free
from tiresome debates on vetting, explorers, por, etc. :-)
I'm off to the old land of the Brigantes (that's north ...

All Girl Patrols?
Thu, 30 Jul 2009 22:40:50 +0100
Does anyone have any experience of running single sex Patrols in a mixed
Scout Troop?
What is your experience of the pros and cons?

September,
our SL is seriously considering having a couple of all girl Patrols.

Large fire shelter?
Wed, 29 Jul 2009 03:30:01 -0700 (PDT)
Whilst at Walesby last week, I saw a Group with a fire shelter which
was a single pole about 15' high in the centre of a square "flysheet"
which was probably about 15' across at the guying points at each
corner.
It was branded Red Bull, so guess it was a corporate hospitality
shelter!
Anyone know of a source ...

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:39:19 -0700 (PDT)
Wonderful bit of media mis-reporting!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8172844.stm
"An atheist summer camp in Somerset is offering children aged seven to
17 a "godless alternative" to religious camps traditionally run by the
scouts and church groups."
Since when have we run religious camps!!!!!
