Cheltenham District Camping Competition
Youlbury - September 2009

With tremendous pride we congratulate
Lawrence - Ollie - Will - Alex
For their success during this year's District Camping and Cooking Competition at Youlbury
Due to circumstances none of our Leaders could attend this camp and
the four campers 'went it alone'.
Not only did they place a close 2nd in the overall camping competition
but they also gained 1st Prize in the Cooking Competition.
Well done to you all and the Leaders for the training they provide.

BACK to BASICS appeared in Scouting Magazine many years ago as a pullout supplement and is worth its weight in gold.

Very hard to find such a comprehensive easy to follow guide to what Basic Scouting knowledge is all about.

 In the words of John Sweet, author of the book Scout Pioneering, 
" these are the kind of skills which, if we are not careful, will slip unnoticed down the cracks in the pavement of Life. "

Why Scout Movement?
Baden-Powell said: "Scouting is a movement because it keeps on moving forward. 
If it stops moving it becomes an organisation and is no longer Scouting!"


B-P last message to Scouts
Hear B-P's voice speaking to Scouts

Dear Scouts, 
If you have ever seen the play Peter Pan you will remember how the pirate chief was always making his dying speech because he was afraid that possibly when the time came for him to die he might not have time to get it off his chest. It is much the same with me, and so, although I am not at this moment dying, I shall be doing so one of these days and I want to send you a parting word of good-bye. Remember, it is the last you will ever hear from me, so think it over. I have had a most happy life and I want each one of you to have as happy a life too. I believe that God put us in this jolly world to be happy and enjoy life. Happiness doesn't come from being rich, nor merely from being successful in your career, nor by self-indulgence. One step towards happiness is to make yourself healthy and strong while you are a boy, so that you can be useful and so can enjoy life when you are a man. Nature study will show you how full of beautiful and wonderful things God has made the world for you to enjoy. Be contented with what you have got and make the best of it. Look on the bright side of things instead of the gloomy one. But the real way to get happiness is by giving out happiness to other people. Try and leave this world a little better than you found it and when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best. "Be Prepared" in this way, to live happy and to die happy - stick to your Scout promise always - even after you have ceased to be a boy - and God help you to do it.

Your friend Baden-Powell of Gilwell


Why 'PEN-KNIFE'? asked a young Scout. Its not a pen.
quill.jpg (2023 bytes)
    swiss-knife.jpg (1990 bytes)
It was during a session in June 2005 teaching Scouts about the safe use of Knife, Axe and Bowsaw that James, a young Scout, popped this question, on showing them a Swiss penknife.
The answer is that originally a small knife was employed to shape a feather (Latin name PENNA) into a quill, cutting a nib for writing. The name stuck and the small knives became a household item, especially in the Scout Movement.
It pays to be inquisitive!
