Great to speak to 1st Somersham Scouts Group and the 1st Earith, Bluntisham and Colne Scout Group last week as they pushed to achieve one of their badges.
As part of the Scout’s World Challenge award, the troops wanted to learn more about the UK’s system of government with Somersham having already visited the Houses of Parliament this term.
I was a keen scout when I was a teenager and got huge value from it, learning practical life skills and plenty of adventurous outdoor activities.
Some really fun questions from the Scouts and I was proud to receive an honorary necker from the troop.
Somersham Scouts are also raising funds to build a new Scout Hut having had to knockdown their previously condemned hut, an old WWII Nissen hut from RAF Brampton. I will try to help identify where fu ds could be provided to help them create a permanent home.
