hi all. just thought you might be interested to hear about this. i got
a north face supposed mountain tent for christmas. the first time i
got to use it was a few weeks ago on a d of e expedition. it snowed a
little. thankfully noone was inside it at the time but the tent simply
collapsed. all 3 poles snapped and two went through the pole sleeves.
this is a picture of what i came back to:

I have been waiting 4 months for a scarf order from Manor Neckers in
Birmingham. Lots of appologies; "not able to scource the materials" etc.
Suddenly not responding to emails or answering phone.
1. Anyone know if they are still trading?
2. Anyone tell me of the quickest scarf supplier in the UK?

I am deep shxx with the group, as we have about 10 kids now without scarves.
i saw akela take her own scarf-off last night at an investiture.

I am struggling desparately trying to make Law & Promise interesting.

We keep getting new kids in - most from Cubs and somee off the street and
one of the Membership Award requirements is of course is to have an
understanding of the L&P.

Most of them can recite it parot fashion in a short space of time but really
struggle to show that they understand it.

I personally believe that it is something we do need to do - I know some
Leaders that are not that bothered.

I am struggling though coming up with ideas where they can show that they
have an understanding in a fun and lighthearted type of way. I can sit and
discuss it with them and basically most haven't got much of an idea (and it
is not fun).

I know that we can get news papers and magazines and get them to try to find
stories and pictures to depict the L&P (pro and against). I know that we
could get them to try and act it out (to do either of these they need to
have some understanding first though).

Any ideas - what do you do, are there any DVDs anything.
