New Activity Badges
The Scout Association has recently launched its largest ever revamp of the activity programme with the launch of 40 new and modernised badges, of which at least 21 affect the Explorer Scout section.

In order to reflect the changing demands and interests of today’s young people, these new badges include areas such as Health and Fitness, Healthy Eating, Street Sports and Parascending.

Following the launch, the story was taken up by all the major national newspapers, along with BBC Breakfast, BBC News24, ITV Local News and BBC Radio 4.

Explorer Scouts Nancy Ibrahim and Kirsty Wright accompanied Chief Scout Peter Duncan on a whirlwind tour around BBC Television Centre, to talk about the updated programme and the new badges being launched.

Five of the activity badges available for Explorer Scouts

Peter said: ‘Young people today have a larger choice than ever before of activities to fill their spare time with. This includes challenging themselves with exciting activities and adventures, meeting new friends throughout the world, and creating a real difference in their communities`

The introduction of Heathy Eating and Health and Fitness badges really caught the attention of the journalists. These badges have been introduced in consultation with young people, sports governing bodies and educationalists. They aim to reflect the interests and concerns of today’s young people and society in general.

Peter added: ‘The health of young people has always been of utmost importance to us, and through many of these badges we can help to further encourage young people on the choices they can make to lead a healthy lifestyle.’

Explorer Scout Nancy Ibrahim said: ‘It’s great that the badges have been updated to include activities that are important to today`s scouts. The best thing about scouting is that we get the opportunity to try new adventures, when we might not have been able to do so otherwise.

‘We are always hearing that young people aren’t healthy enough and I think it’s really important for everyone to learn what healthy decisions they can make.’

ABOUT OUR WORK

The Scout Association provides adventurous activities and personal development opportunities for 400,000 young people aged 6-25. Internationally, we have over 28 million young people enjoying the benefits of Scouting across 216 countries.

Personal development means promoting the physical, intellectual, social and spiritual well-being of the individual, helping them achieve their full potential. In Scouting, we believe that young people develop most when they are 'learning by doing,' when they are given responsibility, work in teams, take acceptable risks and think for themselves.

In 2007 Scouting will celebrate its Centenary with a programme of events and activities in the UK and worldwide.The world will come to the UK for the 21st World Scout Jamboree, the highlight of the World Scouting calendar.

Scouting is currently active in 216 countries and territories with a global membership of over 28 million. Two thirds of the international membership are in developing countries.The International Office, based at Gilwell Park, promotes international opportunities including camps and projects, with the aim of strengthening links between The Scout Association in the UK and other members of The World Organisation of the Scout Movement.

We joined Explorer Scouts from across Fife between Friday 21st and Sunday 23rd March 2008 for an Easter camp.

We stayed at Fordell Firs; however the majority of the activities were off-site.

After pitching tents on the Friday evening, we went to Lochore Meadows Country Park to complete a number of team buiding challenges to start earning time that would be spent in the `Easter Egg Chamber` on the Sunday.

On the Saturday, we were transported to Edinburgh City Centre where we had to complete a large treasure hunt following clues, answering questions and taking photographs of certain places. We walked from the Botanical Gardens to Grassmarket to St Andrews Square and The Royal Mile.

On the Saturday evening, we had a "night out". After getting dressed up, we went for 3-course dinner, karaoke, dancing and a night at the races before returning to the campsite to have a campfire and a few songs but it wasn`t long before everyone was off to bed.

In the morning, the points from the various activities were converted to times that would be spent in the `Easter Egg Chamber`.

The chamber was a children`s soft play area full of red, green and blue tokens. The Explorer Scouts were blindfolded and sent in for their earned amount of time to collect as many tokens as possible.

Red tokens = 1 point
Green tokens = -1 point
Blue tokens = 10 points

The points were counted and the winning team was determined; however the Explorer Scouts were left in anticipation for a while longer!

They were sent on an Easter Egg hunt. 200 mini Cream Eggs were hidden in the woods and they got to keep what they found... some people will have very sore stomachs!!!

After this and striking camp, the results were announced and prizes given out to everybody; winners and non-winners.

A great weekend!

Curling/Ice Skating




Just when you thought it was safe to go back onto the ice.
On Wednesday 12th March
A party of 45 Explorers went to Kirkcaldy Ice Rink to have a taster session of Curling.
It was a bit strange when we were told to step on to the ice with just our trainers on, but it was very easy to walk on the ice.
The party was then split into teams of 6 or 8.
They started by learning the basics of Curling.
How to deliver a stone while still standing
How to sweep a stone while it was going down the rink.
After the basics it was down to have a mini camp of curling.
It was over 5 ends and by the end of the session a think a few were hooked and would like to have an other go.
After the curling and to finish of the evening we all put on our skates and had 45 mins ice skating.
Over all the night was a lot of fun and one that we would repeat in the near future.

On Friday 29th February we picked up 20 Explorers who were already thinking they were F1 Drivers.
We headed across the Bridge to Racing Karts in Livingston.
We joined Explorers from Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes & Leven.
We were split into groups and then started to do our first set of 20 laps.
It took a bit of getting use to but after a few laps the explorers were flying around the track. Once everyone had their practice then it was down to the serious business.
(Race against the clock) Every one was now fighting for a place in the final.
The Final was a scrappy affair with no one wanting to give any advantage to the others.
After a ten lap final we had our overall champion.
The results were as follows.
1st -Jordon – Glenrothes & Leven District
2nd – Marcus – Rosyth District (48th)
3rd – Shaun – Rosyth District (48th)
Well done to everyone that took part and made it such a great evening

Don't miss Destination Denmark in 2009


02/11/2007
2009 is your chance to be part of the largest ever Scottish Scout contingent to travel abroad.
We are planning to take a group of 470 Scouts, Explorer Scouts and Leaders to be part of the Danish ‘Blue Summer’ national camp in July 2009.
The event is open to Scout troops and Explorer Scout units, but also to individual Scouts, Explorer Scouts and Leaders whose troops or units may not wish to attend. Individuals will be made up into composite troops or units.
Part of the purpose of the trip is to enable those who have never had the chance to attend an international camp to do so. It is expected that about 23,000 Scouts and Guides will attend the camp from over 40 different countries.
‘Blue Summer’ runs between July 15 and 23, 2009 and the total cost, including transport, will be £385 each. The Scottish contingent will travel on two specially chartered 757 jets from Scotland to Denmark and then by coach to the campsite.
A professionally produced 40 minute video of the 1994 camp is available on loan to let all those considering attending sample the ‘Blue Summer’ experience. The video can be obtained from Hamish Leal, SHQ International Adviser by emailing hamish@scotcap.freeserve.co.uk.
If you wish your Scouts or Explorer Scouts to be part of such a rare opportunity contact SHQ on 01383 419 073 for an Application Form and payment details, stating whether you would like a group or individual form.
Please note that the final date for booking will be April 1, 2008.
Welcome to the Caledonian Rally affectionately known as the Cally Rally by the thousands of young and old, who have participated over the years and have enjoyed the unique Cally Rally experience, since the beginning at Loch Oich. The Rally is organised jointly by leaders of the Scout and Guide Associations in Scotland.
Our annual activities weekend held in the Scottish Highlands brings young people from both our associations together, encouraging their personal self confidence and creating new friendships through self-reliance by camping within their own group of friends and actively interacting with young people from the many other parts of Scotland represented by participating in new what may be challenges to them.
The Rally organising committee sometimes bring in specialist instructors for specific activities, but the majority of our Rally instructors and staff, come from Scout and Guide groups in your areas. They all hold the relevant associations adventurous activity qualifications or the instructor qualifications for their chosen activities governing body.
As you now view our web site we hope that it will give you a glimpse into the this unique event which is now one of the oldest joint Scouting and Guiding events regularly taking place here in Scotland.
Introduction to Navigation and Hillwalking Skills
 Friday 11th - Sunday 13th April 2008, Meggernie Centre, Glen Lyon

Open to individual Explorers or Explorer Units, all daytime activities provided and supervised by fully qualified hill team. Leaders can attaned and are required for supervision when Explorers not on the hill. Cost to be confirmed, but will be around £10 for the weekend.

For further information and to book, please see the website at http://www.glasgowscoutshillsforum.org.uk/

APEX CHALLANGE
The basic idea of the event is that it is a multi-activity competition where YOU call the shots. The idea is to collect as many Apex Points as you can within a set time.
Each team of four is given a map of the playing area. There'll be about ten main activities for you to try your hand it with things ranging from abseiling, to climbing, weaselling or assault courses. You'll know WHERE the activities are, but you won't always know what you might find there when you arrive. Each of these gets you 50 points.
On your way between these activities you can visit other control points where you just stamp your card to get extra points. The number of points you get for each of those depends how easy they are to find, but it could be anything from 5 to 30 points.
You can decide which places you go to and in what order to try to plan the best route round to get the most points. If it's an event that involves a night-time element, don't think you can just stick to the big easy footpaths though! There'll be a team of Apex Chasers patrolling them trying to steal your points.
If you like the sound of all this, check out the details for our next event!


WINGS 2009
WINGS2009 is an international camp open to any member of the Scouts, Girl Scouts or GirlGuiding whose national organisation is a member of either the World Organisation of Scout Movements (WOSM) or of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS).

The event is open to all female or male members who are aged 10 or more on 1 August 2009. There will be a full programme for all from 10 to 25 as well as a programme for Adult Leaders.

The jamboree is expected to host circa 5,000 Scouts of which 25-30% are likely to be from outside England.

You will camp in tents with all the facilities, showers, toilets etc laid on. Of course there will be so much going on you probably won`t see too much of your tent.

WINGS2009 will be based in Windsor Great Park just outside Windsor in Berkshire which is a region situated about 45km west of London in the south of the UK. It is a rural area with beautiful green countryside but with fast road, rail and air transport links.

Although we call ourselves the Fife Air Cadets Conservation Group we are made up of Air Cadets, Explorer Scouts, and families from across Fife and our ethos is to
Work Together for Tomorrow's Future
A great weekend planting 1355 trees at ExxonMobil on Saturday and then burning today on Falkland Estate at Drumdreel.
57 volunteers yesterday and 46 today, brilliant numbers with lots achieved!
Saw more good weather and another very large turnout, with two bonfires, though not as large as we were expecting due to all the timber stacked up in piles. For those not there the piles were a nightmare to remove timber from. To start with we cleared up left over pieces on the ground in a large area around the two fire sites, then set about removing timber off two stacks. A good area was cleared by the time we left. At Chancefield a small group managed to dismantle the diesel stack, dig out and lay the foundations for the compost toilet.
Well done to everyone for helping the local environment and making it another very successful weekend.

Duke of Edinburgh

Nine Explorer Scouts from Markinch and the 89th units completed there expedition report on Friday the 30 of November.

Trappers

Well done to Andrew, Craig and Frazer from the MacDonald Explorer Unit (Kennoway) who completed the Trappers. This is an extreme survival competition held in Germany and Luxembourg, congratulations to Andrew, who finished in the top 3 (out of 22 competitiors)



Extreme Challenge Camp How many ways can a team of Explorers find their way around a loch, a country park and a muddy hill? The `Extreme Challenge Camp` participants soon found out
The camp, based at Fordell Firs, was part of the 12 camps of 2007. During the weekend the event used both the activities at Fordell and off site activities at Loch Ore Meadows Country Park.

On the Friday evening after registration, the Explorer Scouts recieved a very warm welcome before a ice breaker/ game of Woody`s Wonder Quiz and supper.

On the Saturday morning, the campers were split into four teams of 15 and these teams then set off on seperate buses bound for the country park.

At the park, the teams enjoyed cartography (traditional map making), orienteering and caneoning as well as mountain biking in the nearby Blairadam Forest.

The teams all had a great day learning new skills and especially appreciated getting soaked and very muddy on the mountain bikes!
On Saturday night, the camp returned to Fordell for a BBQ and some dancing, dancing like most of the Explorers had ever seen before... Line dancing!

Line dancing amazed everyone, from being an activity people weren`t jumping for joy about to being one of the highlights of the camp!

Following this the Explorers enjoed a disco run by Rosyth DESC - Woody.

On Sunday morning, the Explorers awoke to be divided into new teams, to enjoy activities on offer on the campsite; high level zip line, bungi trampoline, crate climbing, archery, challenge course, craft work, Geo-caching and
caving. After these activities it was time to have a bite to eat and strike camp- a muddy wet camp with the sun beaming down! Some said it put Glastonbury to shame!!!

All of the Explorers who went had a great time and the supermarkets were looking forward to increased sales of Daz!!!

The 50th Fife Scout Group based in Glenrothes recently won the Vodafone small business challenge competition on Forth One radio which has resulted in a number of improvement works being carried out on their Scout Hall.


Forth One appealed on the radio for 6 days for local small businesses to come along and help out, and the Group had a great response with various works being carried out including landscaping (thanks to Jim’s Mowing), roof repairs, upgrading of kitchen & disabled access provisions, vestibule flooring (thanks to Floor Design), as well as internal & external painting (thanks to Norrie Kinnes).

The bathrooms at the hall will also be modernised & tiled in the next couple of months thanks to Dez from Tile In Style. This is particularly appropriate as Dez’s grandfather was the architect who designed the Scout Hall over 50 years ago and members of his family were Leaders in the 50th Scout Group in its early years.



The Group was also given donations from Focus & Hedgehogs Garden Centre & Nursery as well as receiving refreshments all day for all the workers from Wee Nabby’s Nosh.

The 50th Fife Scout Group are delighted with the work that has been done already and are looking forward to the work that will be happening in the next few months, and would like to thank Forth One, Vodafone & all the local companies for their help in improving their Scout Hall.
