SCOUTS SHOUT

A car? A holiday?  A new water supply for three African communities allowing them access to clean drinking water?

We are very proud to announce that the Waterloo Explorers and Scouts that attended the Sport Relief Event in London have raised enough money to change the lives of many people and they did this through challenging themselves to train and participate in a charity run in the streets of London on Sunday 25th March.

With the change of British Scouts Western Europe (BSWE) to British Scouts Overseas (BSO)  there is a need for a new badge. A competition has been arranged for all BSO members to enter a badge design.

Did you know that a Waterloo based member won the area badge design competiion that we curently wear?

Maybe one of our members can win the cash prize that is on offer as well as to be associated with the brand new badge design?

Youth 11 to 17 years should work in groups of between 3 and 5 on a poster or video communicating on a cancer prevention message from the European Code Against Cancer http://www.cancercode.eu/.  Posters can be created with the medium of your choice, or with the computer.  

See this teaser video created by some young people.  It took them a few hours and a they had a lot of fun!

Stuart Leadley will be taking part in the London Shine event on Saturday 1st October to raise money for Cancer Research UK.  He will set off at 20:30 from London's O2 Arena in Greenwich to walk to the Palace of Westminster and back, a distance of 26 miles!
