@stambournescout Tomorrow sees a trip to Loughborough for Regional DLV meeting. An early rise so early to bed!!

Awaiting the start of the County AGM.

Tonight it was great to invest both leaders and Squirrels at 2nd Stamford’s first Drey. They enjoyed a picnic with self made sandwiches after the ceremony watched on by parents. @stambournescout @LincsScout

Good to visit @stambournescout cub district camp at Sudbrook today. Despite the torrential downpours, the leaders were still in good spirits as pirates! @scouts #outdoorin24

And so #stamcamp 2024 begins with 500 +campers doing their #outdoorin24 @scouts challenge @LincsScout @stambournescout

@sailingzanado @NiagaraFalls Salmon sandwiches?

Quite a nice view for lunch!! @NiagaraFalls

@matthyde Congratulations Matt on your new role. I’m sure the Association will miss you. Best wishes for the future.

Thanks to @humbersidescout for the invitation to their transformation session @LincsScout

@davidgcant That was me 1965-70. Did two rounds every day. My dad built me a 4wheeled wooden trolley a bit like the f 4wheeled shopping trolleys today. Would take both rounds even on Sundays. Christmas Tips were great enhancement to monies raised. but don’t mention small letterboxes

Imagine. Fast asleep, all wrapped up, warm and cosy in bed. Most of the world is still asleep. The light is barely breaking the horizon. And the alarm goes off at 6.00 am, 7 days a week, to do a paper round. Sundays are the hardest. The papers are twice as heavy as weekday papers because of the supplements. Having to split the heavy load into two bags, hanging off both shoulders, while cycling up and down steep hills on a bike with only 3 gears. And trying to push the large papers through those tiny letter boxes is challenging. They should have been banned. Quickly learning the easiest and fastest route around all the houses - and knowing it like the back of a hand. Struggling during the cold, miserable dark winter mornings... Whether it teemed down with rain, was frosty, icy or even snowing heavily, persevered, and the papers still got delivered. Earning extra pocket money as the motivation to get out of bed in the morning. It required discipline, determination and a good work ethic. That was me 40 years ago, aged 13. My first taste of the job market and work experience. Thanks for reading. PS: What was your first job?

@peterboroughtel Maybe it’s at the centre of its own region!!

This will get you all going...😂

A great weekend at “Launch Lincs” with District transformation teams developing their understanding of why & how we will be making scouting more fun for adult volunteers so we can increase opportunities for even more young people to gain skills for life 🌟

@KesterSharpe @matthyde @PoacherLincs Missed you Kester but managed a few minutes with Matt. Hope your Group like those from Stamford & Bourne are having a great time. @stambournescout @KesterSharpe @matthyde @PoacherLincs @LincsScout

Good to catch up with @matthyde at @PoacherLincs this afternoon.

2nd Stamford have an open afternoon today. So it’s into uniform and a trip across the District for me soon. Shame yesterdays sun has been exchanged for rain today. Hoping to find the west of the District dry.

Delayed a year by the pandemic I received by 50 year service award last night from Miranda Rock @burghleyhouse , joined by Ray Dennis receiving his. Our paths have crossed for 40+ years across the Cambs/Lincs border both starting out in London area @LincsScout @cclincsscouts
