If you are a scout group that would like to use these for your own purposes – change the final url etc, be my guest. They were created from a PowerPoint presentation, exported as a video and then turned into a gif from there. Link to the presentations
New vision for the Scouts
Today, UK Scouting has changed our brand from the old swoosh to a simpler, bolder symbol for scouting.
It signifies a new direction for Scouts as it launches Skills For Life. Watch the whole video for a great introduction, but the super short version is emphasising the huge positive effect scouting has on the lives of young people – not just today, but forward into the rest of their lives.
Read about our plan to deliver better futures http://scouts.org.uk/about-us/strategy/vision-for-2023/
Proud to be preparing young people in Scouts with #SkillsForLife
The new brand is just the latest in an evolution of the brand over the years.

Friday Scouts hold their Winter Olympics!
The scouts held their Scouting Winter Olympics last night.

– Ice hockey (we finally made use of the indoor hockey set we got from Activekids )
– Toboggan (put it this way, the pushing phase went on for 99% of the time)
– Curling – with scout sized curling stones … 🙂

Christmas Camp 2017
We survived the freezing conditions over the weekend for our ‘Christmas’ Camp at Kingswood Grosvenor Hall in Ashford.
On the first evening we all went to the huge gym to play a few games in an attempt meet our group leader, Finn, and to burn off some energy.
Before bed time one of our scouts decided to see if the smoke detectors could really be triggered by an aerosol, as we had been warned (spoiler: yes). We had a fire alarm drill….
Saturday and Sunday saw us split into four groups and rotate around the following activities:
- Leap of Faith (climb up a 10m pole then throw yourself off in the direction of a trapeze
- Archery
- Obstacle course – circular course with challenging things to do
- Laser tag – either inside or outside
- Nightline – maze games while blindfolded
- 3G swing – be hauled up to 10m before being dropped on a giant swing. It is 3g as you experience 3g at the bottom.
- Problem solving – team brain games
- Jacobs ladder – in pairs, climb up a ‘ladder’ where the rungs are increasingly far apart
- Ariel runway – huge zipline
