Rabbit Run is a challenge hike, where you plan your own route to complete in a set time, in the dark and answer questions on the way. The twist is the chasers who cause you to lose points. Anybody aged 13 or over, so it can be used as a linking activity for Scouts to Explorers, Explorers, Network and leaders. You just need to be competent in navigation and walking! Participant – Take part in a team of between 4 and 7 people to plan and walk your route, gain as many points as possible and win the trophy. The team with the least points will win the toilet seat! Chaser – Small teams of over 18’s walking, hiding and trying to catch participants. This year there is a chasers competition for the first time. Chasers chose a start location in the playing area, they have the same time as participants to get back to the site, while hunting for teams of participants, which will cost points for the team and gain points for the chasers. Leader – Bring your young people along, enjoy good food and company, drink coffee, support your teams. The event is being held at Dunham on Trent Village Hall, NG22 0FJ Booking https://www.tickettailor.com/events/egxsexplorerscouts/1315711?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR04JuWj1oNdOccKzqrw_4DKWmayxWva5_uj7xGiSxPyfALpNXagHYQgbP8_aem_THNUNbTDQRQpAjtmMudqow

A huge thank you to everyone who helped deliver a brilliant Lincolnshire Scouts Cubs on the Water event at North Hykeham and to 15th Lincoln (North Hykeham) for allowing us to use their HQ. Lots of happy cubs!

As we move towards the new digital system and team-based volunteering (yes, it will happen before the end of the year!) we need to prepare. Compass will close and we will move to a new digital membership system. To ensure that all details are transferred correctly and that we can all log on to the new system, all members need to log on to their Compass records and ensure that emails and telephone numbers are correct. The link for this information and guidance can be found here - Everyone | Scouts All learning that has been completed and validated must be shown as validated - please speak to your GSL/GLV or LTM if you need any help with this. Going forward all Districts and Groups will be working as Volunteer Teams; the link below will give you some more information on how this works. The Transformation Team will be doing some work with Groups in the autumn. Setting up and building new teams

With the start of the summer holidays, there will be some groups attending the Essex Jamboree and Larkin. Remember to take plenty of photos of your camp adventures of young people and leaders trying out new activities and crafts. Please share your photos and stories with me, along with a short story about what you have been up to, including any quotes from your camping team.

It is great to see that so many people are completing First Response inside and outside of Scouting. The Scouting First Response Course has a specific set of learning objectives, which not all external courses cover. These are mainly Child CPR, Meningitis, Sepsis, and other areas. If you have completed an external First Response Course, you do not need to do all of the Scouting one, you can convert it using the conversion course found here: https://hampshire-scouts.thinkific.com/courses/fawconversion
