Pint Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 not very often this happens - some possitive stuff about Scouting in the media The Gaurdian ( UK national newspaper )"How Scouts became cool again " http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/apr/19/scout-association The Express (UK national newspaper ) "TEENAGERS RUSH TO JOIN SCOUTS " http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/170056/Teenagers-rush-to-join-Scouts The Daily mail ( UK national newspaper ) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1267093/Scouts-biggest-membership-surge-decade.html?ITO=1490 BBC "Scout level rise biggest in 38 years" http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8628871.stm More here http://www.scouts.org.uk/media/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailingpj Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 That's awesome, if only the Sea Scouts were doing as well. I think a thorough look through of the Sea Scout program would do wonders for it, especially the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Scouter Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Does anybody on these forums know if Bear Grylls might be scheduled to make an appearance at this year's National Jamboree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhankins Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I hope Bear will come to the National Jambo! We could use a shot in the arm from someone like him. I put in a request last year for our Council's 100th birthday event, but it was way too expensive for our budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhankins Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Maybe we should have bugs on the menu?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emb021 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Maybe we need to bring back the position of Chief Scout and put someone high profile in that position, like Eagle Scout Mike Rowe??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailingpj Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Getting Mike Rowe involved would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhankins Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Mike Rowe or Steve Holcomb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chug Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 When is your National Jamboree? I know that Bear is visiting our county in October, Mrs Chug has said she's definitely taking her Beaver Colony along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailingpj Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Our jamboree is July 26 - August 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chug Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 That doesn't clash with Gilwell 24, so it might be worth asking the SA if he's available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
