Taking it in

 

We're having a rather damp day here so given the fields would be rather muddy and slippy underfoot I'm indoors reading vintage scouting publications from the days where rather than visiting websites with password protected sections for keeping in touch and confidential information regarding activities you had real publications and sealed notes put through the letterbox.

The origins of Scouting in this geo-politically troubled time were are passing through tend to show in this illustration showing reconnaissance noting the ships movements while being well hid which is a skill that is useful coupled of course with observation, requiring alertness.
