Following this evening Government alert- there is a very high risk of wildfires nationwide. Everyone should not undertake any activity that could start a fire, including disposal BBQs, firepits, campfires, backwoods cooking and fireworks. Even a small flame can rapidly develop into a major wildfire.

Please also ensure risk assessment are updated and also review. This should include adequate fire fighting equipment is available for gas appliances such as correct extinguishers and fire blankets.

Thanks to our scouting family for following this!

There is a huge difference between the commercial businesses running hotels and volunteer run campsites such as those run within Scouting.
Let's hope those in charge of this can make a sensible decision that will not force campsites across the country to close or increase their fees significantly.

I see all the time what a difference nights away experiences have on young people, that is why I am supporting The Scouts calls in regards to the proposed new Mayoral powers. We need to ensure that nights away is accessible to all!
