Hi All, Does anyone have a contact/link for where you can get campfire blankets (sometimes called badge blankets)? I'm looking for the woolen ones, have found a few places selling fleece but that just won't do. Our very new scouts won the County Shield two weeks ago and we'd like to...

Hi All, Apologies if this has already been covered in another thread, but I din't find anything through the search. I've recently aquired a Martinadale No. 2 'Golok' machete to assist with the interminable task of clearing thickets and general hedging. It arrives with no edge to speak of...
