SCOUTS SHOUT

What can you buy for €3000

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.

Badge Competition - Win a Cash Prize!

 

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 Competition - European Week Against Cancer

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.

Adventure is out there!

What would you consider to be adventure?  Does it have to be dangerous? Does it have to cost a lot of money?

 

I have an adventure every week when I run a Scout meeting. For me, an adventure is doing something that I haven’t done before, or don’t do everyday, and that poses a challenge for me.
