Roy Baker has found a sledge hammer and clips after the Scout Activity Day in Peel. If you're missing them email Roy so you can be reunited.

Chief Scout's visit was a great success

Bear Grylls, Chief Scout recently visited Scouts here in the Isle of Man. "What a fantastic, beautiful place," was his reaction as his helicopter landed on Peel Hill to see Manx Scouting in action.

Bear spoke with the youth and Leaders as they enjoyed such activities as sea kayaking, coasteering, climbing and sand castle building. "We've heard there's an incredible Scouting community over here."

Press Coverage of Saturday's Visit by the Chief Scout

It's less than 24 hours since the Chief Scout Bear Grylls liffted off by helicopter from Peel Hill. There have already been a number of storys from ManxTV and the BBC, with many more to come. 

A detailed article will be posted later today and photos from the visit will be posted in a gallery as they come in. If you have any pictures that you'd like to share email them to scouts@manx.net.

Thanks

Your Help Is Needed at Mullin y Carty

On monday evening 20th May between 6.30 and 9.00 there will be a clean up at our campsite at Mullin Y Carty at the top of Silverdale.  All leaders and their siblings are encouraged to come along and help, no tools required just enthusiasm and a pair of gloves!

We will burn the brambles we cut and on the embers cook some sausages

Special Limited Edition Cover for Chief Scout Visit

This special souvenir philatelic covers will be available on the day throughout this historic occasion. They will be on sale at Fenella Beach and on the Peel Promenade near the harbour footbridge.

The Isle of Man Post Office has provided a special one-day postmark.

These covers are available at £2.50 each.

As numbers are strictly limited, be sure that you purchase your lasting memento of Bear Grylls visit when you visit Peel on Saturday 11th May.

Leaders Camp

Several people have mentioned about the possibility of having a leaders overnight camp and skills refresher course [ camping, cooking, fires, navigation, shelters etc.] sometime during the summer holidays.

To make this happen we need ideas, dates, venue, enthusiasm, and of course leaders [we dont need good weather!!].

For starters how about meet at SC 443 837 on a Saturday morning, hike to SC 402 895 and camp and on the Sunday hike to SC 355 881.

Just a thought...

Island Scout Network Commissioner
