These are challenging times, but it is important to recognize that these are the moments we prepare for. And this is when the Scouting family shines. During some of our country’s most challenging hours, our Scouting movement has shouldered the burden when it ......

http://chng.it/qPNSNt7TvH The European jamboree in Poland has been moved to next Summer (2021) due to the Corona virus. By next summer many scouts who were supposed to go will have turned 18. EuroJam had said they will accept over 18 year olds but British Scouting won't allow it. This is really unfair because we've spent over a year fundraising and it means about 25% of British scouts can't go. Please help us by signing and sharing this petition to let 18 year old, British scouts attend EuroJam. submitted by /u/Happy_a_Hoot [link] ......
