Sustainable Scouting

This as a trial in Cumbria Scouts: SUSTAINABLE SCOUTING is all about recognising how we impact upon our planet in everything we do & how to lessen our impact.

Had a great day at #CumbriaPride with #CumbriaScouts!

[Sustainable Scouting @EcoScouting]

Hi @ScoutLink, we can’t connect; tried three different ISPs. Are you overloaded?

[Sustainable Scouting @EcoScouting]

Tomorrow we are taking part in JOTA/JOTI with @swlscouts from #CumbriaScouts!

Watch out for us on ScoutLink with user names “SWLakes…”, or listen for us on amateur radio with callsign GB2FSR.

Huge thanks to @FurnessMapping and Furness Amateur Radio for making this possible.

@mutteringmadam @FavColour_Green Not necessarily, because every time someone drives over the plastic, nanoparticles of plastic are released. And that is one of the worst ground-level pollutants there is.

Recycled plastic has its uses, many in fact, but not as a wearing surface for vehicles.

Always nice to get out and see #CumbriaScouts groups! Tonight I’m enjoying the @Scouts #FoundersDay fun with @17BarrowScouts 🙂

Selfish is the word 😞

@Scoutsscarter @TimothyKidd If needed, I can burn some toast for you. Authentic back-woods cooking flavour 😁

Good luck; hope it goes well!

@Art_Gene @CumbriaCVS @theforumbarrow @cmckate Lovely to see you all there this lunchtime 🙂 And the indomitable @HelenWa59935921 too!

What a successful day! Young people from all sections, from many Scout groups in @swlscouts #CumbriaScouts have spoken with other members of #WOSM from all around the world. #JOTAJOTI is definitely my favourite date on the #Scout calendar!

@DomVargas @swlscouts @GuidesCumbriaS We are on ScoutLink. All our ID’s start with SWLakes…

[Sustainable Scouting @EcoScouting]

It’s #JOTAJOTI2022 time! I don’t know what’s happening elsewhere in #CumbriaScouts, but @swlscouts are once again hosting a district event for all #Scout groups (@GuidesCumbriaS have been invited too!) to come and use amateur radio and #ScoutLink IRC to talk to the 🌎🌍

[Sustainable Scouting @EcoScouting]

Hi @ScoutLink what’s going on just now? We’ve been chatting OK for the last few hours, but now we can’t get on at all. Is ScoutLink webchat OK?

[Cumbria Scouts @CumbriaScouts]

Some well deserved recognition for one of our amazing volunteers! Alongside helping young people in @ReiversDistrict enjoy amazing experiences, Laura makes huge differences to many lives with @MCultureC - we’re proud to call her a #CumbriaScouts leader! https://t.co/0mhZ8ENqfZ

What a brilliant morning! 30 young people, all part of @unit48wsj from @CumbriaScouts, @IOMScouts, @GuidesCumbriaS & more joined an archery session at #UrswickCampsite. Some brilliant shooting, loads of fun, great enthusiasm! Thanks for making the session so much fun to lead 🙂

[Sustainable Scouting @EcoScouting]

All set to run archery for @CumbriaScouts and @IOMScouts #WSJ contingent 🙂

With leaders from @ReiversDistrict and an event shelter from @swlscouts, #CumbriaScouts are well represented at the #DalstonShow.

Come and have a go at mini-pioneering or take the Giant Jenga Challenge 😁

@dropzone2112 @furnesspride Hope you have a great day! Can you let us know at #CumbriaScouts if you do this again; we’d love to come and join you 🙂

@cumbriawildlife @HelenWa59935921 Could we have a chat sometime about occasional volunteering opportunities for small groups of Scouts?
