                              Brownsea Island Easter Camp

Members of Mid Cornwall Scout District have returned from their annual trip to the 'Birthplace of Scouting': Brownsea Island in Poole harbour, Dorset.
 
Despite some cold and wet weather, the Scouts and Explorers took part in an active programme including service on the island clearing rhododendrons and creating pioneering projects.
 
The scouts also had opportunity to explore the beauty of the island whilst catering and working in patrols close to the site of Baden-Powell's original campsite.
 
More photos to view on the Mid Cornwall District page of this site.
 
Scouting in the Community
The idea is to raise the profile of scouting in the COunty as well as raising money. The idea is to forge links with local people, organisations, firms, Parish Councils and businesses by undertaking various projects.

Coast 2 Coast 2010 

Hundreds of participants have completed another successful Coast 2 Coast Challenge run by Mid Cornwall Scout District. The sun shone throughout the entire weekend and although there were some frosty starts, pace and stamina were shown by the teams taking part.

 

 

More information on finish times will follow in due course.

 

All photographs from the weekend, including team pictures, are available for £2.50. More information on ordering will follow on www.coast-2-coast.org.uk

 

Thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the great weekend possible.

 

 

 

Welcome to Two New Districts

With the advent of 1st September, we welcome two new districts, in the form of East Cornwall and North Cornwall Districts. For more details, see their District pages.

 

 

Change of Badge

With the stock of County Badges now almost exhausted, a new supply of County Badges has been ordered, and is awaited. These new badges are slightly higher than the existing badge, coming into line with the national size standard for County and District badges. These will be on sale from the County Conference day, and are priced at 35p each.

 

If you have the existing sized badges on your uniform, there is no need to change over to the new size, and the only district which will be issuing the older style will be Truro District to align with their District badge.

 

 

Change of Name

The County Management Team has been renamed the County Leadership Team to fall in line with the name adopted by the National Leadership Team. The drop down menus under the 'County' section have been amended appropriately.
