Ive just come back from 1st Night back over christmas, all went well,
had no complaints yet about the £5 increase in subs this term (£30)
and havent really had anyone leave over christmas as such.

We had a programme meeting last week and the way its turned out is
that the other leaders will run mostly troop nights and I will look
after the admin and run bigger activites like camps etc. Which is the
way I wanted to do it anyway, wishing to start taking a backseat role.

Anyway, one Scout came up to me and asked when he could join
Explorers, I said when he was 14, "But cant I join now", "are you
13.5?" I replied, "yes" ok join then, Im glad to be getting rid of
him, he was a pain and he said he wants to bring some other Scouts
with him.

What gets me is they are lazy buggers and never want to do anything
remotely energetic (which I plan) but they want to join a very active
Explorer unit???? part of it might be to do with not wanting to do it
with annoying 10 year olds. Anyway Ill let them get on with it.

Hi all,

I have a problem with accomodation for some Cubs. We were booked into
the London Scout Centre for the weekend 16th-17th Feb as part of a
weekend to do Natural History museum and London Transport museum.
Unfortunately I received an email today from them today to say that
they had accidently double booked me and I would be unable to go.

We have already written to the Cubs advertising this with a cost based
on the
