The Christmas post

While we may well be able to have a more normal twenty twenty-one including Christmas that in different ways will be marked on here, sometimes in all the buzz about adventure in Scouting we forget an important element.

Community service.

In more normal times many Scout units do things for their community one popular seasonal one being operating a postal service getting Christmas Cards to older people who may struggle keeping in touch with others in this simple but important way.

These two Cubs from the Harpenden, Herts Scouts were part of a team that sent card to their elderly, taking them in person.

During lockdown as part of The Great Indoors, Scouts kept contact with people who may be isolated helping out.

Such things do count for awards and judging by their left arms these two certainly have been putting a lot of work into gaining their badges as many boys and girls do.
