The need to explain what is going on in a much changed world whither or not it is children and young people or adults in their lives such as those in Scouting sadly isn't new even if what we are dealing with today is very different.
Back in days of these East end of London Scouts there was tension in the air with militarization of Nazi Germany, the demand by it to be given the Sudetenland that in hindsight was really the road to World War Two with all that meant to children, parents, not least fathers and its aftermath.
There were as now other more fun things going on like this opening of "queer" design of Scout Headquarters the boys were looking forward to on the other hand B.P himself felt it necessary to explain about the causes of war.
Nobody would pretend it was easy but we got by - scouting in all its forms got by, helping children and young people playing as it is now a role in helping society - and the unfortunate necessity of having to impose further restrictions across England around Covid 19 on top any local arrangements will not get in the way of doing what is right by children and young people plus wider society.
Guidance will be considered when it come particular to indoor activity and altered if needed, any changes communicated to children, young people and parents but this movement and its ideas will be continuing in its commitment to its members and mission.
