Hi
I know over the last few weeks we have had quite a few new Scouts on here, and I know some of he longer standing members are Scouts too!
Just incase another event like Live07 (http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=1315.0) occurs where we need Scouts on Bocks, let me know if ur a Scout!
-
Was a guide but too old now :-\ so cant really help you. Although would love to.
-
:( join up again when u have time! both Scouts and Guides give you so many opportunities in life!
-
Will have to be a young leader. my college course is a bit full on to join atm though but in time...
-
Spud, why not join the Senior Section as a member of SSAGO http://www.ssago.org.uk/ (http://www.ssago.org.uk/)
From the Girlguiding website
"The Student Scout and Guide Organisation is for people who are studying full or part time at university or college. Take a look at the SSAGO web site for more details. There are groups at many universities in the UK, or you can be a lone member if there is no group at your place of higher education. The group organises activities and members may continue working on various Girlguiding UK and Scout membership schemes as they so choose. Members can also participate in the various Senior Section opportunities as they choose – providing they are under 26."
Becky - were you on the 'Listening Ear' team at the WSJ?
-
Seems like a pretty good idea. I would have to be a lone ember though until I moved up to uni. Seems like a good opportunity and one I will be having a good look at
Thanks
-
Wontolla - I was a photographer at the Jamboree - but if the Becky u are talking bout was from Essex then i know her! :)
I joined SSAGO - then left and started a Network up instead :)
-
I'm too old to join as a scout :(
I could be a Scout leader !?
I can rub to bits of wood together and make a fire and get a lovely meal when camping in the woods where I'd never get lost !
OK the bits of wood is and match on a match box and I'd be calling "Dial-a-pizza" and god bless Sat-Nav :o
I did said I could be a Scout Leader, never said a good one ;D
-
Lol DK, you can join as a leader if you want to. Everywhere is in need of leaders to make the units run, and give the kids all the opportunities available to them!
Give this vid a watch - its everything i did im my first year at Network (18-25 year old Scouts)

got that looks like fun
-
WOW wish I was 18-25 again :'(

hey, i'm a explorer. Our network in Bradford is basically a drinking club. :laugh: When they meet (usually in a pub) they talk and drink. Explorers i think is better though, u've got less things u can legally do, but it's given me gd opportunities. Like i'm now a member of bronty archers.
But because my brother and his friend are in the same group as me, we have to go walking... :( mostly down the hill that Blackhills is on and up the otherside to St. ives golf course and round there. It can be a real dragsometimes...
-
Thats a shame choco bean, thats the opinion lots of people have of network. But although ours does involve some drinking we do loads of more exciting things - see video! :P
I started my own Network at Uni with my best friend. We went round campus recruiting and now decide what we want to do - in the last 10 weeks we did rifle shooting, iceskating, sugar cube towers, cinema, quiz, pool and darts eve, performed in the 02 arena, and threw a 3 hr christmas party/games eve! Dont think we have been to the pub once yet!
Stick with explorers for a bit, then try and get a group of u together to make a network - you get to decide what you want to do!
If you do join Network get them to go to all the camps - loads of Bockers at those (us!) including the face of network!

I need bocking Scouts for something taking place in London/Essex in a few weeks, please pm me if you are interested (by Scouts i mean anyone in Scouting)

-
I was a scout, well I was a venture in Aveley Mammoth patrol, was good, but left when they changed the system due to nearest unit being over 8 miles away, but want to get back in to it again, looking at joining a Network unit when I leave uni, and staying in one place for good!!

As there are now a lot of powerbocking scouts, and I have again being asked to provide a group of Powerbocking Scouts for an event, I have set up an email address specifically for it.
powerbockingscouts [at] hotmail [dot] co [dot] uk
please email on there or pm me your email address so I can make sure you get the information about the Scout event I have been asked to organise bockers for!
(can you also tell me in the email/pm which section of scouting you are in, and which county)
-
Gilwell 24 went good but may I make the suggestion of NEVER staying on bocks for 24 hours solid withough something softer than the knee bari have large dents and a lack of hait where they rubbed.
-
Hehe - knee pads!! (these ones are good (http://www.pro-jump.co.uk/pp/ProJump-Safety-Protection-Gear/Knee-Pads-A.html))
Sounds like fun though - bet you ached after!! Did you meet many others on bocks?
Becky
-
heyy red romper :D remember me? did u ever get off them and what wornt u allowed to do in them :P lol. whats the next big event you're going to on bocks? i'll see if our unit is doing it :)
tom
-
@Becky yeah I either need those or Jason's cuffies and yes my thigh musscles are trying ro rip themselves off my bones. Stiff and Stilted were there, they get around a lot and there were others on bocks but most of them wern't very talkative.
@tom Yeah I remember hows it going did you manage the whole 24hours? As far as I know the onthy thing i could have done was the rifle shooting and some of the circus skills, I really should have tried a unicycle :D. Dunno what I'm going to next but only in explorers for a few more weeks anyway until our summer camp then 18 anf a half so I have to leave. Probably still help with them though so I may still see ya around.
-
hehe - stiff and stilted arent a very talkative bunch. glad you had fun tho! hope the muscles feel better soon.
why dont you join network? then you can come to all the big network camps!
-
I would if my district pulled its finger out of its a** lol. With any luck I'll be heading to uni in september and they'll have network there.
-
