Kelly, Riana, Elizabeth and Sam – collectively known as ‘Team Penguin’ came joint first in the overall rankings at this weekend’s Operation Founder run by Tonbridge District Scouts.  They visited all six bases and the check-point, coming in with a score equalling the best in-district team.  As an out-of-district team this means that they won the Scotney Challenge Shield. ‘Team Icup’ – Harry, Matthew, Peter and Toby didn’t do quite as well – there is always next year. Operation Founder is an incident hike held on a Sunday around the date of Baden Powell’s birthday.  Last year it was held in Knowle Park, this year it was held near Tunbridge Wells. There is full breakdown of the results on the Tonbridge District Site.

We listened to a presentation by Rachel and Carlton from Porchlight this week.  Between them they really brought home realities of homelessness – both the number of hidden homeless (‘sofa surfers’) and living on the streets.  Hopefully we will arrange a sponsored rough-sleep to raise money for them this year.
