Nights away Now is a good time to start thinking of training for your Nights Away Permit, in preparation for summer camp. For info about what it is, see factsheet Nights Away Permit Scheme (FS120800) or Applicants Guide (FS120801). These and more are available online at www.scouts.org.uk/infocentre
Baby Borrowers
Yellow cards
This great BBC resource is perfect for Explorer Scouts and Scout Network. Tying in with the controversial BBC3 TV programme, it is designed to develop peer learning through shared experiences, to promote positive relationships and informed choices, and encourage discussion about teenage pregnancy and other topical subjects. The book is divided into four sections, all with various learning activities and DVDs, which would easily fit into a Balanced Programme for the older sections. To order your free copy, visit www.scouts.org.uk/ babyborrowers
