#EarthHour has been created by the @WWF to encourage and unite people to spend one hour taking action to help the the planet. It happens every year on the 25 March.
Why not spend a Scouts meeting taking part safely in one of our 'in the dark' activities? bit.ly/42qI31Y

Proud of the scouts @85thBraid @sesscouts who completed their @UKScouting Expedition Challenge over weekend - 1st day cycling 15 miles South Queensferry - Edinburgh, a sleep at home, then 2nd day 10 miles walk from Meadows to Prestonpans along @JohnMuirWay. A great challenge!

Friendship, trust, fun, adventure, problem-solving, time-in-nature, fresh-air, physical activity. Outdoor learning and adventures teach so many things to our children. Please see link below and join the petition to #SaveYourOutdoorCentres @saveyouroutdoo1
Trips to residential centres build skills, make friendships, support mental health and wellbeing. Right now they need support so they don’t close forever, please write to your MSP and ask them to #SaveYourOutdoorCentres draft letter here docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Prepare risk assessments now so sessions can resume once authorised by Commissioners

13:00 Lunch - two challenges – pick one or do both:
a)Make lunch with one hand behind your back. Banana sandwich?
b)Make a solar oven to cook some smores- as long as the sun is shining – this is how to do it

We would like you to build the highest and/or longest structure you can with spaghetti and marshmallows and take a photo – can you make it in the shape of a famous structure like Stonehenge, or the Eiffel Tower? – post your photos on the social media sites. #SESLongestDay

Build Your LongestDay Campfire
Why not take some time at this point to make your campfire? Your campfire can be real, a model or virtual. Models can be made from wood, Lego, coloured paper, get creative and share your ideas with us.

Just because we’re Scouting at Home right now doesn’t mean we can’t have a campfire! Join Scouts from across Canada on Saturday, May 23 for our online Virtual Campfire. Be ready for songs, skits, cheers, and most importantly, lots of fun! bit.ly/SCVirtualCampfire
