Next year I'm traveling from Berlin, through Leipzig, Germany ultimately to Prague, Czechia. I'd like to buy some cool badges while I'm in those countries.

Are there scout shops around there, like there are in the US?

Can anyone please help me? I want to make a traitor game for our scouts. But my mind is blank. I made a plan but I just can't come up with any missions. Anyone have some fun ideas?

Hey guys, I'm a brazilian Explore and I realy wanna to conque my scouting language specialty level 3. If you are a Explore that can take to me I would be very grateful. Be prepared⚜️

Every year for my troop and sister scout troop I try to do a family feud, in order to make it I try to ask 100 real scouts some questions though, this one is Christmas themed and if you guys are able to fill out this form I made it would help a lot as I need 100 responses, all questions are optional! https://forms.gle/H36VipaiU2ACa9LV7

I will also be making my scouting themed family feud from last year public within the hour as I finish it up and make it easier to use for other troops

Hi, I'm wanting to start helping out with the Scouts in the UK. I've helped out in a few countries (ENF in france and UEB in Brazil) where the focus was very much on the outdoors, camping and pioneering. I did a bit of scouts with the Scouts UK but it was very much indoor focused.

Anyone got any advice for types of groups? Had a look and BPSA looked like it might be the best bet, but thought I'd ask here.

There's this "Cub of the Month" Woggle available on the Scout Store and I'm wondering how do CSLs that do use it, use it.

• Does it work to promote good behaviour in your pack?
• Do you set specific criteria so that Cubs who want to be Cub of the Month know what to do to achieve it? If so, what are they?
• Do you use the Woggle sold on the website?
• Does the cub have to give the Woggle back at the end of the month so it may go to the next cub?

I'll take any insight and experience!

Hey everyone, so after asking for ideas on how to put the request forward to parents ive come up woth the following letter, how does this sound to you all.

im open to critique on making it sound better.

(Edit: to add Suggestions)

"Dear Parents and Carers

As you may be aware to safely run activities we need to have a number of adults to Beavers. The Scout Association recommends a minimum of, 1 adult to 6 Beavers, for activities and sessions to run safely.

The Beaver section team currently consists of only myself, our Group Lead Volunteer **** lends a hand in addition to his duties in running the administration of the entire Scout group and overseeing all its sections and section volunteer teams.

This leaves us in the situation that should either of us be unable to attend, the meeting will not be able to run. The future of Anytown Beavers relies on volunteers and the nature of a charity means we are always looking for more help, without your involvement we can not run the meetings. In light of this, I feel it is necessary to ask someone to step in each week to help out and ensure we can continue to run the Beaver section and provide your young people with skills for life. From January I will be setting up an "Adult Rota" for parents and carers to choose which session(s) they want to help out on, We will be asking for a minimum of one per term.

You will not need to prepare or run any activities or undertake any training ( although you certainly can if you wish), you would be there as an extra set of adult eyes to supervise the Beavers during the activity, and you will have the full support of myself and **** to help you in any way you need.

Any adults connected to the group (such as parents and carers, aunts, uncles, older siblings or grandparents) can sign up to help with the occasional session, so long as they are over 18 years of age.

You will not need to under go a DBS check unless you wish to volunteer more than three times in a 30 day period.

If you have any questions, queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me or **** about them my contact details are below.

I understand this will be a bit of a shake up to the current status quo and i am extremly grateful for the help and support you all already give, and i apprieciate everyones support in helping to keep the Beaver section running in the future."

What do people think does that sound about right?

Thanks in advance

Hello, Im scout from Vietnam . I would like to make friend with scouts from Scandinavia. Any scouts here from Scandinavia interested in making friends ??? Im waiting for you

I've been a leader for near 3 years and may be moving from beavers to cubs. During that time I've worked with some amazing people and id like to get them something scouty as a gift.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I weaved 6 woggles out of paracord in the colours of infinity stones for a recent gag I had with a few friends on a camp

Hey zusammen,

ich studiere Produktdesign in Linz und beschäftige mich dieses Semester zusammen mit meinem Studienkollegen mit Wanderrucksäcken für Kinder. Unser Ziel ist es einen perfekten Begleiter der kleinsten Gipfelstürmer zu konzipieren. Wir haben dazu einen Umfrag erstellt, die die Wünsche und Bedürfnisse an einen Wanderrucksack für Kinder abfragt. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn einige Eltern/Erziehungsberechtigte mit Kinder von 6-13 an der Umfrage teilnehmen würden. Dauert nicht lang und ist selbstverständlich anonym. Danke!

Ich wünsche ein sonniges Wanderwochenende!

Question, so just making sure I have all the kit I need for rememberance, you know smart navy trousers. Blue tie.

Went online to check how people deal with tie and necker, and woggle ect.

Can't find a single picture of a leader at a rememberance parade in a tie? Do people just not wear them anymore? PoR still mentions them?

So along sode that now. I'm thinking, stone shirt line sleeve and navy trousers and navy tie with gillwell woggle. With my necker tied in a friendship knot over that.

Hi, I’m a guide here in Italy, and I had a question about scouting. What are the main differences between Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts in terms of activities and organization? Do they participate in different kinds of activities, or are they similar? In Italy, in the association I’m part of (Scout San Benedetto, very similar to FSE), boys and girls are divided into separate groups called “riparti”, but we all do the same activities. For example, we go on hikes, camping trips, and play games like “roverino.” I’m curious to know how things are structured in other countries, especially in the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Thanks!

In the United States of America, it’s standard for a scouting Units to have what is commonly called a Dutch Oven and/or a cast iron skillet in their outdoor boxes. Do you use something similar? What’s it called in your country?

Hello,

I wanted to know if I can wear my Wood Badge woggle with another neckerchief?

For example: Wood Badge Woggle with my Catholic Scouting Neckerchief or an OA one? With or without beads.

so i know essentially the answer is throw it out there and see whta happens. but does anyone have any tips on making it successfull.

right now its just me on my tod with 12 beavers. the GSL helps out but if he ever retires of steps back im up the creek without a paddle.

so while i try and recruit more leaders, whats the best way to er........ forcefully encourage the parents to help out

I have been a scout for a year now and I am a member of the AGESCI catholic scouting organization in Italy. I did some research and apparently the founder of the Scout movement, Robert Baden-Powell, liked the Freemasons and took some teachings from that cult. He even promoted the creation of some lodges. Quite surprisingly, the masonic values he praised (virtue, love for your brother, loyalty etc.) were all christian teachings stolen by the masons. Saying that he liked the Freemasons because they had these teachings is like saying "he likes the Nazis because they are very respectful to other races", which is a blatant contradiction. How do we resolve this issue? Should I quit the Scout movement? So far, my membership to a scout group did nothing but strengthen my faith in Christ through the help we give to our parish and to eachother.

Hey All,

It's been 25 years since I was a Scout. Back then we had the 'blue cards' and would work with the counselor to get requirements signed off. How does it work nowadays? I see that you can download the blue cards off Scoutbook - but everything is in Scoutbook as well. Just trying to help my Son along here and I'm not sure the process of it all with the addition of Scoutbook.

Thanks!

Hello we were unfortunately camping this weekend so did not get to participate in JOTI.

We are a Sea Scout group from Sydney Australia.

I would like to organise a Teams/Zoom call with another Scout Troop on Sunday 27 October at 6pm AEST.

This would suit a Troop in Asia or Europe. As a guide, it would be 3pm in Singapore or 8am in Europe.

Let me know if you’re interested!
