Well done to the following who have recieved awards this month.
Following the setting up of a second explorer scout unit in the district, it was clear that each unit needed a proper name rather than referring to ourselves as first and second or by leaders names. We held a joint forum meeting for explorers in October half term to brainstorm. After weeks of discussion and some very creative and amusing suggestions, we settled on the name Inclined. Why? because we meet at Foxton where at the neighbouring Locks is the only Inclined Plane boat lift in the country. It is a dramatic and important local feature and puts our Unit firmly on the map. We often use the Locks and surrounding areas during our sessions. But more than that, Inclined is a very good description of our attitudes and achievements. We are Inclined to get things done.
On 26th January 2010 we had a visit from the Police Armed Response Unit. They came and showed us lots of different things. These included the bullet proof vests that they wear, handcuffs that we were allowed to try on. They also showed us guns that they carry and the Tazer stun guns that they use to disable criminals. It was great fun trying on the handcuffs and one scout was allowed to try on the uniform, including gas mask. I really enjoyed the evening, it was very interesting. (more…)

As you may know the following Harborough Scouts have been selected as members of the Leicestershire Contingent for the World Scout Jamboree to Sweden in 2011:
5 leaders from Harborough District spent the day helping erect the National Scouting trailer display unit, and althought they were very cold, had a fantastic day. (our very own Phil was the Scout mascot Charlie Wood for the day!)
Over 60 Scouts, Cubs, Beavers and parents attended the match as Tigers beat Wasps 34 - 8.
Leicester Tigers have moved Saturday’s home match against London Wasps from an evening kick-off to a 1515 GMT start because of the freezing weather.
The game was due to start at 1730 GMT but Premier Rugby has asked the Tigers to bring the kick-off forward.
Managing director David Clayton said: “Temperatures can drop so quickly in the evenings.
“Bringing the kick-off forward will allow the game to be played in the best possible conditions.”
10 Scouts from the Friday Troop arrived at Topstones at 2pm on New Years Eve. Some played table tennis while others had their nails painted and Hayley provided manicures to those who wanted them. Some of the Scouts discovered a trunk full of dressing up clothes.
