Hi, Looking to sharpen about 20 axes in my local scout troop that would be better termed mallets due to the abuse of 20+ years. I'm going to be rehafting/repairing those that need it and then sharpening them all. However, first I need to find someone willing to make covers for them all before...

Hi, I'm looking for 25-30 rabbits for some Scouts to butcher. I'm assuming skins intact but minus the innards to stop the meat spoiling. Does anyone in Surrey or nearabout have access to that many rabbits or know where I might find them? Don't need them until May so trying to get ahead of the...

Hi, Looking at a few different knives for a Scout Troop to use and abuse. I have a few choices and need help whittling down to one. A few assumptions will be made for criteria: All knives will be handed back at the end of a camp or evening to central stores for maintenance. Scouts with the best...

Hi, We're staying with the inlaws at their farm 1st week of April to assist with lambing. To escape for a couple of days myself and my boy (11) escape to the bottom of the farm into the Alder woods and camp out down by the river doing bushy type stuff (neither of us are that knowledgeable but...

Hi, I'd like to teach a group of Scouts and Explorers (13 - 16) as much as I'm able to in a weekend for a camp next year (date undecided). However, my knowledge is pretty poor. Hence I'm planning on spending the Winter learning as much as I can and then the Spring at some different locations...

Hi, We're a relatively new Scout Troop and haven't had the advantage of accrueing kit over decades like many. On the plus side all the kit we've got so far is new and shiney but doesn't seem to have the 'durability' factor scouts seem the need. All of our kit is currently stored centrally and I...

Hi, I run a Scout troop and try and spend as much time with them out and about doing stuff as possible. Now and again however we find ourselves in our HQ with a little time to spare between activities and some of the kids want to chill rather than run around for a few seconds. I'd like to get a...

Hi, I'm the SL from 4th Reigate and we've just returned from our Easter Survival camp. We've got a younger troop of new Scouts (mostly 10 - 11) and they really wanted to have a go at the survival badge. So after lots of prep and training over the spring term we finally embarked on Good Friday...

Hi Y'all, Been lurking on the forum for a while andf figured I'd better post up sooner or later so am looking for some advice. Is there any reason that an old solid metal satellite dish couldn't be used as a bricked up firepit to teach scouts to light fires in and possibly cook on? Just wanted...
