HEMA is a Dutch department store. The first store opened on November 4,
1926, in Amsterdam . Now there are 150 stores all over the Netherlands .
HEMA also has stores in Belgium, Luxemburg, and Germany . In June of this
year, HEMA was sold to British investment company Lion Capital.

Take a look at HEMA's product page . You can't order anything and it's in
Dutch but just wait a couple of seconds and watch what happens.

This company has a sense of humour and a great computer programmer.

  Y L training with a difference.

One of my scouts 'mums' is a trainer with Mencap ( and other groups) and she
and i have just completed a YL training course with a sting in the tail,
which went rather well. People might like to consider it.
We ran 6 evening sessions covering most of the units and then as part of the
course set the 7 YLs the challenge of running a residential camp for 8 young
scouts. Around the 2nd week they travelled-off one w/e to look at the site/
accomodation ( without us)and came back with an assessment of the
facilities, travel arangements etc. As a short part of each weeks' session
we gave them the job of designing a parents' letter, completing the NA form,
menu, activities, equipment list etc (shared-out). Last w/e they set-off on
the tube with their kids and ran the programme and sleep-over until after
breakfast. In the morning we all came back, said goodbye to scouts and spent
4 hours on Sunday over lunch de-briefing and looking at how all the various
modules were demonstrated in their week-end, what they had learned, would do
differently etc. We had been with them all the time observing but
intervening very little.
Finally we presented awards ( always leave it to the end whatever the rules
say) and off they went.
What was the biggest lesson learned? Not to sit-up talking until 3am ( fine
with us) and expect to find it easy keeping to their 7.30am programme start, ...

It's all about the adventure - and now's the time to take part in one
of the country's biggest challenge events!

The Apex Challenge is widely regarded as the UK's leading activity
competition for Explorer Scouts and members of the Scout Network. We
hold two multi-day Apex events every year which attract hundreds of
young people. The next one is just a matter of weeks away!

At every event you can expect to find yourself rock climbing,
canoeing, mountain biking and completing tough challenges while racing
against the clock to beat the other teams.

Join us in May for our next event in the spectacular Sherwood Forest
where all the action takes place through the night!

Full details and entry forms are available on our website at
http://www.apexchallenge.co.uk.

We look forward to seeing you all in Nottighamshire in May!

Hi

I have to schedule activities at our District Patrol camp

Does anyone have a programme i.e. Excel that will take lots of
Patrols, lots of activities and produce a schedule, allocating patrols
to activities without any duplication?

Thanks

Mike

In my Pack we were never very happy with the old record cards and
we don't like the new ones. So I created my own:

Does anybody have a scan of the new Cub Personal Details and Record
Cards they be willing to share?

Or of the old (combined) Record Card?

Thanks,
