Didsbury Vikings Explorer Scout Unit

Scouting is always evolving with trends & changes in education & society. That's why the Movement is as relevant today as it was a century ago. Ahead of the @WorldNFEForum, we're thrilled to present the modernised "Essential Characteristics of Scouting”: fal.cn/35nJy

Another exciting addition for this year's Winter Camp is Lightsaber Fencing! With places filling fast, make sure you book now using Online Scout Manager... #gmewintercamp

This week our #explorers have been learning #SkillsForLife alongside @ChorltonBeesESU by completing their Emergency Aid Stage 3 badge. #firstaid #emergencyaid #iscout #explorerscouts

Well done to everyone from @mansouthscouts who received awards from @GMEscouts this evening - especially our two #explorerscouts! #SkillsForLife

This week, our Explorers have been challenged to create a 3-course hot meal, using only #expedition cooking equipment (ie Trangias). #cooking #trangia #SkillsForLife #iscout #explorerscouts #explorers

Will we see you at Winter Camp 2020? Booking is now open ⛺️

The final batches of pre-ordered DVDs are now being sent out. If you'd like one for yourself (or a great Christmas present for someone who was there) - let us know and we'll get one in the post to you.

#Scouting is all about helping others - our Leader has been assisting other units to get their cars out of the rather flooded & muddy car park at @apexchallenge this morning! #apexchallenge

@apexchallenge please can you keep your cafe open for tea/coffee & juice? If its centrally catered and we can't have flames/etc on site, then we need access to drinks, please!
