SHURDINGTON'S 'STUFFED PENGUIN'
EXPLORERS
This year is the 100th Anniversary of the Scott Antarctic
Expedition's sad end.
Did you know? our Explorer Unit is very
aptly nicknamed Stuffed Penguins after the penguin brought back
from the Antarctic expedition in 1904 and presented to Shurdington
School in 1948 by the sister of Explorer Edward Adrian Wilson who
was born in Cheltenham. His sister lived in the Crippets
This year 2012 is the 100th anniversary of
the expedition’s end, as on 29th March 1912 Robert Scott and his
companions finally starved to death and froze in their tents, just
11 miles from a supply cache.
The penguin was later found to contain
some arsenic and it was decided to present it to Cheltenham Museum
where it is still on display.
The current two Explorer Leaders are
leaving in July and we are now on the lookout for one or two
prospective Adult Leaders to take over the Unit come September to
avoid it being put into suspense.
The Unit meets mostly in Shurdington
Social Centre on Mondays in term time, and anyone who would like
to give it a go please do let me know. The two dozen Explorers are
a great bunch of boys and girls aged between 14 and 18 and some
have gone through Shurdington Scouts from the Beaver age of six.

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
Why 'PEN-KNIFE'? asked a
young Scout. Its not a pen.
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!
