Today, UK Scouting has changed our brand from the old swoosh to a simpler, bolder symbol for scouting.
It signifies a new direction for Scouts as it launches Skills For Life. Watch the whole video for a great introduction, but the super short version is emphasising the huge positive effect scouting has on the lives of young people – not just today, but forward into the rest of their lives.

Proud to be preparing young people in Scouts with #SkillsForLife
The new brand is just the latest in an evolution of the brand over the years.
Don’t forget to claim your 10% discount for looking after a beaver / cub / scout / exlporer.
You need to take a scout neckerchief with you to claim the discount and you will need to purchase a discount card if you don’t have one already. Our nearest go-outdoors is now in Tonbridge.
The scouts held their Scouting Winter Olympics last night.

– Curling – with scout sized curling stones … 🙂

We survived the freezing conditions over the weekend for our ‘Christmas’ Camp at Kingswood Grosvenor Hall in Ashford.
On the first evening we all went to the huge gym to play a few games in an attempt meet our group leader, Finn, and to burn off some energy.
Before bed time one of our scouts decided to see if the smoke detectors could really be triggered by an aerosol, as we had been warned (spoiler: yes). We had a fire alarm drill….
Saturday and Sunday saw us split into four groups and rotate around the following activities:
