Last night we had an evening on UK Parliament @UKParliament @YourUKParl for a slightly late #ukparliamentweek but it tied in perfectly to vote for the scouts candidates in Scottish Youth Parliament #SYP @scvotweet @CYPCS @OfficialSYP @scouts @ScoutsScotland @ScoutsMSYPs

#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

Well they did it - they found a builders sack in the bushes halfway through and put all their rubbish bags in and filled it with dog poo bags and other rubbish, all in just 1 hour around the pond #Edinburgh @earthhour @sesscouts #fundraising @WWF @ScoutsScotland @worldscouting

Today we took 14 scouts from 85th braid to Apple Store Edinburgh where they learned some coding using the @SwiftPlayground app on iPads. Hour long session. Suitable for 10 but even older scouts got something out of it. #apple #edinburgh #skills4life @sesscouts @ScoutsScotland

11 scouts and 1 young leader joined the satellite camp @BAJamborette 2022. Our 1st time there - my 1st time leading camp. Quite the experience. They loved trading woggles and badges with scouts from all over the world - Country fair, Campfire, pirate party #jamborette @sesscouts
