Quite jealous that they have their own HQ, my group meet in a school in Weston-super-Mare. It's not ideal - I am trying to get a HQ built but to be honest I have no experience of the fundraising & red tape avoidance something like this takes.
Incidentally Backwell was the stomping ground of Mark Rickard who it seems epitomises everything that I admire in scouting. I believe that I was a successful soldier due to my outdoor experience as a scout in the Peak District. Outdoor activities, for me, are what scouting is all about. It seems that Mark Rickard was of a similar mindset, and obviously made a deep and lasting impression on those around him. Good stuff.
