Title: Becky - Scouting Powerbock Challenge (Sport Relief Mile - Sunday 16th March 2008
Post by: Becky on January 23, 2008, 10:34:51 PM: The Scouts are doing a mass take over this year on bocks, for which we have gained special permission. There are only a few venues at which we are allowed to do this, and a number limit at each.

If you are a Scout and are interested please let me know

(there is a possiblity this will be open to non-scouts if there are not enough scouts to attend)

:)

Post by: choco bean on January 24, 2008, 05:01:01 PM: I'd like to come, could someone possible get me a list of the venues where scouts on bocks can take part? I was thinking of doing the mile thats on manningham lane, but if there's only one place i can use them, I'll probably go. I'd have to ask ma mum first.

Title: Re: Sport Relief Mile - Sunday 16th March
Post by: Becky on January 24, 2008, 07:44:43 PM: Sorry Spud, as the Scout Association have gained the permission for Scouts to take part, only Scouts will be able to bock at these places.

I will find out about uniform/neckers tomorrow, and answers to all the other questions anyone has asked!
Title: Re: Sport Relief Mile - Sunday 16th March
Post by: Spud on January 24, 2008, 07:48:03 PM: If I wear a necker can I? If I ask and am turned down at least I have tried.
Title: Re: Sport Relief Mile - Sunday 16th March
Post by: Becky on January 24, 2008, 07:51:13 PM: I will ask tomorrow at the meeting, but I think it will be a no.
I think the Scouts will be covered by Scouting insurance which they pay for each year in their membership fees, hence needing to be a Scout to take part! :)
but I will ask

In the orange and yellow scarves is Stiff and Stilted, and in the pink and green scarves are EPB - plus any other scout who joined us that day. Mike Bushall, the TV presenter, is on the left side.

No, it's all about geeky things. Doesn't seem like much but there are much politics involved. I think its mainly insurance and stuff. Not to say you can't do it tho. But hell, don't mix the scouts and air cadets up. We had a load of scouts, baden-powell scouts and air cades help on our airshow. But apparently if you put scouts and baden powell scouts together they beat each other up..and they were all pretty envious of the air cadets coz they could ride in the helicopter when they couldn't because of insurance..

Title: Re: Becky - Scouting Powerbock Challenge (Sport Relief Mile - Sunday 16th March)
Post by: Becky on October 12, 2009, 07:39:43 PM: Ive not been asked to organise anything this year, so im thinking we got our promotion out of Scouting 2 years ago! :)
And its all about insurance! Oh and the promo we got for Scouting :)
Title: Re: Becky - Scouting Powerbock Challenge (Sport Relief Mile - Sunday 16th March)
Post by: CJ on October 12, 2009, 08:31:54 PM: i think they should do something tho, all publicity is good and bocking fits the outdoors / adventurous lifestyle that scouts are promoting at the moment

It makes perfect sense ;) Once you know that Baden-Powell scouts and scout association scouts are different. Baden powell invented scouting I think. As a concept. Not the organisations themselves. Anyway, they don't get along apparently. they Too don't like air cadets..even tho they are air scouts. So confusing...

So a scout isn't just a scout. Random fact brought to you by the random spud. [/hijack]

If I hear of any scouting promotional events where they're after any bockers I try to get them posted on here. At the moment I am not aware of any in the midlands, however will see what I can find.

Cheers

Post by: choco bean on January 21, 2010, 04:45:14 PM: Stewart you obviously haven't read this thread as the Manchester mile that has been mentioned was the one that we did two years ago. If you are wanting to do the mile this year you will probably have to sort it out yourself.
