Nine members K2 joined Scouts & Explorers from the 7th and 88th Nottinghams – and hundreds of other Scouts from across the UK and around the World – at Red Rose 2014. There were six activity packed days with themes including international, water activities, fun, challenge and discovery. Here are reviews […]
What a weekend. As time, money and blasted farmers bring an end to the largest annual scouting event in the UK an era has ended. Sun Run is an incredible event with so many amazing memories being created in such a small frantic stretch of time. The Friday Friday starts […]
