NETWORK NAMESIt was a case of rebranding at Reunion, as several members of the Kent Scout Network descended on Gilwell Park to unleash their new image. Making use of the iconic Kent image of the oast house, the new colours and scarves were a big hit.

Emma Saunders puts her feet up, as Network members take over the supplement and submit

a superb collection of articles

Since the start, the Scout Network section has always been ‘by the members

for the members.’ In keeping with this, we went down to the Sun Run in

Cheltenham to find some budding writers and editors, who have cooked up

the stories and reports on the following pages. Thanks to all who

volunteered!

Wireless Network

Claire Benk and Ash

At the Sun Run in Cheltenham on 4 July, the

Network team were on the lookout for

budding writers and reporters to take over

the supplement and give themselves a

hard-earned month off. Step forward Claire, Benk, Ash

and the Wireless Network of Avon, who rose to the

challenge and have contributed the following for your

reading pleasure. There is also an anonymous entry

from a Network member in the middle of a difficult

situation, in a new item we’re calling Network

Confidential.

Meet the teamClaire Newman introduced herself at the desk we’d set

up in a shaded corner of the Sun Run site by saying, ‘I’m

supposed to be studying English, so I might as well have

a go at this.’ This was all the enthusiasm we needed,

and so Claire was given the role of roving reporter,

interviewing people at the weekend. Her report

complements her bubbly personality and is on page 6.

Benk and Ash, studious members of the

Unmentionables Network in Gloucester by day, and

party legends by night, got stuck in to their account of

their Network straight away, staring at the laptop

screen for several minutes before letting their creativity

pour out. Their finished article is on page 12.

The Wireless Network, by contrast, brings together

people from a selection of villages in the more rural

parts of Avon, and has altogether different challenges

for maintaining numbers and planning programmes.

A group effort was required, and you can learn more

about them on page 14.

After putting their hands up, or having their arm twisted, a bold brigade of

Network’s finest have come forward to write for your supplement. Here we

meet the team and find space to squeeze in an irreplaceable top three from

resident editor, Lee Allwood

Network take over


Lee’s Top Three

Lee’s Top Three

Friends, Romans, countrymen...

Though the rest of the supplement has been commandeered by

newbies, Lee’s Top Three just couldn’t be bested. Mr Allwood has

the following morsels to spice up your programme

FACT: In the old Roman calendar, October was the eighth month of the year and got its name from the word ‘Octo’ meaning eight

Idea: Toga PartyNeed I say more?

FACT: English pudding season traditionally starts on 1 October A traditional English pudding is in

fact a savoury dish, and would be

filled with steak, leaks,

mushrooms and spices. They

can be cooked for as long

as 16 hours!

Idea: Pudding NightWhy not make a night out of

pudding and piemaking? Get a

shed load of classic English

ingredients, each concoct their own

mix, and play games as your pies are

baking.

The mother of all puddings, the

Yorkshire, can be topped or filled with

almost anything. What’s the most creative

Yorkshire Pud you can come up with?

If eating’s your thing, try a pie eating

contest: how many can you stuff

in one minute?

FACT: 20 October 1966 – The first message was sent between two computers in California, USA

Idea: Jamboree-on-the-InternetJOTI happens in October over the same

weekend as its amateur radio counterpart

Jamboree-on-the-Air. It allows Scouts and

Guides from around the world to

communicate with each other via the internet.

During JOTI, thousands use their browsers,

webcams and chat programs to meet or

reconnect with fellow Scouts, learning about

their cultures and sharing their Scouting

experiences. For Network members there’s the

added bonus of developing relationships so

that there will be a sofa to sleep on when

you’re plotting a globetrotting adventure.

BONUS FACT: 10 October 1886 – The dinner jacket was worn for the first time

Bonus idea: DJ Sports NightWhy not get together for a formal meal,

with bow ties and posh frocks? After your

meal, you can then mix it up by playing

some sports in your evening wear, bringing

a whole new meaning to the phrase

‘dress to impress.’



Billed by the organisers as ‘the hottest event of the year’ the Sun Run is a weekend festival for Scouts and Guides and a vital event in any Network’s summer diary. Sixth-timer Claire Newman picked up her pen for Network and sends this sizzling report

T he Sun Run event takes place on a huge

site across Cleve Hill, which a

Gloucestershire farmer generously lends

to the Scouts and Guides. The mega

party starts from the minute you arrive on the Friday

night, with bar, bands, dancers and a few fire-eaters

chucked in as well, to get things raving.

To keep everyone entertained during the rest of

the weekend there are theatre groups, craft stalls,

competitions, sports, gladiator games, Euro bungee,

and numerous fairground rides.

This all happens the week after the Malvern

Challenge, which is put on for the younger sections.

Network members can help out at the first event,

which is among other things a brilliant way to earn

some bar tokens ready for the Sun Run party.

The runnerGloucester Unmentionables Network put forward several teams for the Moon Run, and ‘runner’ James Newman talks us through his experience:

‘Our journey began with a bag check, where the

staff made sure we had all the right kit, such as

water proofs and reflective wear.

‘The entertainment put on to get the runner’s

spirits up before the off included acrobatic group

the Black Eagles, who were very impressive. By now

we all had itchy feet and were ready to go. The Sun

Runners left first led by a bagpiper and then it was a

ten minute wait before our moment of departure. The

route begins with a downward hill which gets the blood

pumping, but is inevitably followed by an uphill section.

We spent a lot of time telling jokes and singing so that

we didn’t think about how tired we were. This year was

good though, as the weather held up but it was very,

very hot.

‘During the hike we met some lads from near

Coventry, which was cool, as we used each other for

motivation, jeering each other on. Our friend Dan was

one of the marshals and he gave us some custard creams

on the way which went down well. Checkpoint staff also

made things easier as they encouraged us to keep going.

‘Towards the end of the route you get to the golf

course and know it’s nearly home time. By then it had

cooled down and we really pushed each other to get to

the finish. After this 13-mile hike we came running in,

with some of our friends cheering us on.

We finished in 2 hours 27mins, which we were happy

with. Next year we’ve all promised to come back and

do the full 26.2 mile hike … but we’ll see!’

The organiserTwin brothers Robert and David Stevens have been organising the event for over 25 years. I managed to grab a few minutes with Rob and have a quick chat about the event:

‘We have been running this event for many years

and there’s many reasons why we keep it going every

year. It really is a great buzz to see so many people

enjoying themselves, everyone involved having a great

time. It’s brilliant to be able to put 1,500 Explorer

Scouts, Network members and their leaders in a field,

all getting along. People are always amazed at how

polite everyone is, I mean, we’ve never had any major

problems in all the years we‘ve been doing this.

‘Recruiting people to help every year is surprisingly

easy, as we’ve been doing it since 1983. We’ve got

The five a side team from Bristol East Network had their own special uniform, and enjoyed wearing it a bit too much!

Event organiser Robert Stevens (right)



a team of about 300-400 helpers who amazingly come

back every year. We started a Venture Scout Unit in

Cheltenham (years ago), and made lots of contacts

through that, so a lot of our staff originate from our

Venture Scout days.

‘We try to keep the weekend quite mellow and laid

back. The Malvern Challenge has more structure, but

we think the older groups would prefer an easygoing

weekend.

‘Having the Network section helps us to bring in

bigger bookings, as they are County level and are

generally large parties. Our focus is for Networks across

the UK to come and simply have a good time.’

The campersI also spoke to a few veterans of the camp and asked why they come back year on year

Kat Ross and Steph Newman‘Sun Run is great as it’s safe and organised but also very

laid back. We’re all here for the same reason – to have

fun. There is plenty to do: if you feel like it, you can join

in the sports activities, inflatable games, or simply chill

out with your friends. There’s no pressure. It’s also a

brilliant way for everyone who has gone to uni to catch

up with friends they haven’t seen for a while.’

Luke Bergonzi‘I love the sports side of things. On the Saturday there

are loads of tournaments, such as football, volleyball,

tug-of-war, climbing wall and netball, which our girls

won this year. The games are competitive yet fun, with

a surprisingly high amount of energy, after the late

night before.’

Beth Hadley‘I like the way that if you don’t want to do the run you

can still come along and have loads of fun. Scouting

and Guiding is still about hiking and outdoor stuff but

also about meeting people and chilling out with

your friends.’

Laura Barsellotti‘The great thing about Sun Run is that you don’t have

to worry about cooking. The catering option is perfect,

as it’s not too expensive and the cooks in the catering

tent are a great laugh. A sweet smile and you might get

a couple of extra rashers of bacon in the morning.

I always look forward to that tasty curry on the

Saturday night too.’

The volunteerColin Steward was one of the full-time staff for the weekend, acting as Safety Officer. Like all event staff, Colin takes on his role voluntarily.

We see him every year getting on with his duties with a smile on his face, and this year I asked a (slightly sunburnt) Colin what he enjoys about working the event

‘Compared to many other events Sun Run is very

chilled and there is an atmosphere like no other, as no

one takes themselves too seriously. The organisers treat

the staff fantastically; we get free food and simply get

asked to do something, not told. I’ll definitely be back

next year for sure.’

The bandThere were many entertainers at the event this year such as Three’s a Crowd, a mind reader, stunt bikers and cover band the Chip Shop Boys. After entertaining us at the Sun Run for years, I got a quick word with Mark Walby, one of the band’s vocalists

‘We’ve been coming to Sun Run for about five years

now. There’s always such a good crowd, who are up for

a laugh and a sing-song. The Friday night is a chance to

really rock out and play our best. Then the Saturday day

slot is more relaxed and we have a laugh. My favourite

memory from Sun Run was a few years ago, on the

Friday night. We were playing Teenage Dirtbag and the

whole barn was bouncing and singing away: in fact

that’s one of my favourite gig moments ever.’

Sun Run gives backThis year’s charity was Action for Children which exists

to support the most vulnerable young children in the

UK. Runners and walkers of the Sun/Moon Run are

given a sponsorship form before the event and can get

friends and family to sponsor them per mile. We have a

great time, test ourselves and help others – pretty much

the three things Scouting is based around.

The Chip Shop Boys entertain the crowds


Network confidential


confidentialThe general growth and development of the Scout Network has been a comfort to many who put their blood, sweat and tears into getting the section set up in a way that works locally. However, it’s not all been plain sailing, as one undercover Network member reveals

S ometimes, being perceived as a youth section

when you’re all adults can be a bind. In our

recent experience, we’ve had serious problems

with the District Executive in getting ourselves

established, having to jump through inconceivable hoops

and enduring being spoken to like children. At times we’ve

felt like packing it in, but a desire to keep involved in the

Movement we all love keeps us going.

Magic numberWe have an issue with getting membership numbers due

to a lack of communication and information available to

us. The majority of our members don’t knowingly have a

membership number unless they have a leadership role in

another section or are a skills instructor. This has never

been a problem before, nor has it come to our attention

that we needed them, until recently we had to provide

them in order to book on a camp. Luckily, we were still

able to go but we felt we should have known this before.

With most of our Network not having numbers it means

they are not registered on the member admin area and

don’t receive Scouting, or supplements like this one.

This puts us at risk of not knowing about upcoming

events and any other important information. It also means

we don’t have the use of the useful hints and tips

they provide.

Banking crisisWe have also had issues with groups struggling to set

accounts. Due to these problems we feel that it would

benefit new Networks if there was a starter pack. In

this pack should be information regarding how to set

up membership numbers, what the different awards are

and guidelines as to how we achieve them and general

information on the basic running of a Network, such as

how to keep accounts and set up a committee. It could

also include a section for keeping contacts in such

as people who run activities and important people

within the County. New members and anyone taking

over a Network would then have all the contacts and

information they need. We are looking to implement

this ourselves in the near future.

Don’t mention the boar!A mixed bunch of mad, wild, overgrown children and a pig from Gloucester. As we are about to discover, the name is not the only thing about this Network that’s unmentionable. By Ben Klinkenberg and Ashley Freeman

A fter growing too old for the

Unmentionables Explorer Scout

Unit, we were left with

nowhere to go for some

Scouting fun. Something had to be done, so

after a few drinks and some meetings,

Gloucester Unmentionables Network

(G.U.N) was born.

A keen group of us decided to go about

getting leaders, who could keep up with us

and give us advice on what we can and

can’t do. They’re like parents to us: when you

meet us you’ll understand! A Facebook group

was set up and now members get regular

messages and invites to events, giving us a

central point for any questions and advice.

Don’t mention the boar!

Degree of difficultyLike many Networks, a lot of our members are at

university. This has proved a bit challenging in

terms of numbers for regular meetings, but from

this we have decided to operate all year round so

no-one will miss out on the G.U.N experience.

Our main aims were to get recognised and to

have fun. One year down the line and we are now

the largest Network in the County. This is all

down to the fun-filled programme: from

decorating gingerbread men to Ready, Steady,

Backwoods Cooking. We have also organised

parties at Christmas and Easter with a trip to Alton

Towers in May. We allow Explorers to come to these

events which helps with recruitment. They must think

we party non-stop (which we do!). A programme of

planned events also keep our members at university

involved.

Helping handsWe have begun helping at County events, such as

the Malvern Challenge, Sun Run and Slimbridge

Beer Festival. They proved challenging due to their

size and nature, but we also find time for fun and

are well known as a contactable County group.

Network has also been a good way for a lot of

us to get our Wood Badge while still having fun.

Because we know each other in Network, we go

to the training courses together, and encourage

each other to get the learning validated.

Looking aheadSetting up the Network has been the best thing

we have done. We’ve only been running for a

year but what a year it has been. We can look

forward to the future growth of G.U.N and

Gloucestershire Network.

For anyone who is thinking that a Network is

needed in their area then you’re right – one is

needed. All you need is a few willing members

and a pig to help get you going.



Without wires

F or the majority of 18-25 year olds, getting

everyone together on a single night or to an

event can be a technical nightmare. When

arranging it around work, study and family

commitments as well as living in rural England, the

challenge is increased.

The majority of our Network members have spent

their entire Scouting lives together, from Beavers right

through to Explorers. Most of us turned 18 within quick

succession of each other and it became obvious there

was not enough of a provision locally for us to continue

Scouting without doing something ourselves. The next

clear step was Network. Our closest meetings being

situated in Bristol, Stroud and Cheltenham, the long

distance travelled by some began to take its toll. We

started meeting at friends’ houses and other public

places, taking part in activities and discussing the

possibilities of becoming an established Scout Network.

Wireless connectionFacebook has proved essential in the day-to-day running

of the Network, and with some of our members at

times being all over the world, it has given them the

ability to vote on necker and T-shirt designs, participate

in group discussion and put forward future programme

Configuring a wireless network

your hair out, but when your Wireless Network is a group of

for success1. Hold regular meetings2. Involve your CC and DESC

5. Be Prepared

ideas. Event creation has been the perfect tool, the

RSVP button has allowed us to ensure that there is no

under- or over-booking of venues and we know exactly

who is coming. With Facebook available at home, work,

uni and even on your mobile there is no excuse for not

staying in the loop – it’s all there with a click

of a button.

As our numbers have grown, so has the variety of our

programme with activities being arranged according to

our tastes and abilities. To date we have enjoyed Wii

nights, Come Dine With Me part one (topped off with a

few hands of poker). We have also enjoyed bowling;

hosted barbecues for ourselves and for the younger

sections; made, launched and successfully landed hot

air balloons; orienteering; a back-to-basics campfire,

which tested our knowledge of songs and sketches,

even if they were a little out of tune! Some of our larger

events have included the Sun Run and a day trip to

Thorpe Park.

From the very start, we have discussed what we can

give back as a Network. The decision was made to have

a nominated charity for the year. The aim is to

participate in exciting and challenging activities while

raising money throughout the year.

What does the future hold for Wireless? As we expanded it became more apparent we needed

somewhere to call home. This has taken time but with

lots of support and discussion we think we have finally

cracked it. When it is all finalised we hope to

incorporate DofE into our programme alongside awards

like the Explorer Belt and Queen’s Scout Award. Plans

also include attending Intense, Weston sandcastle

competition, a Bristol Monopoly Run and a canal

boat trip.

Finally we hope to run a Wireless roadshow recruiting

Explorer Scouts and allow them to continue Scouting,

helping them reach their full potential.

One wheel warriors

P aul and I met on 2nd Bishop Auckland

Scouts’ summer camp in 2008 and it became

apparent that we could both ride unicycles,

so I jokingly suggested to Paul that we

unicycle the Coast to Coast for charity. His reply was a

rather sincere, ‘Sure, why not?’ not realising the

immense training required.

Fall guyOriginally we decided to raise money for a once-in-a-

lifetime trip to Canada for the young people from 1st

Herrington Scouts, to celebrate their centenary in 2010.

However, a month before the ride I was involved in a

rock climbing accident where I fell 60ft and was

knocked unconscious. An air ambulance was required.

When I recovered I felt indebted to the air ambulance,

so we decided to split the money between

the two causes.

Our story attracted an abundance of media attention.

We had three radio interviews, were in countless local

newspapers, one national newspaper and also

appeared on two local news channels. We received

sponsorship from Cotswolds Outdoor, and the pressure

was steadily building to complete the ride.

Ready, set …After all the training, we finally saw

ourselves lined up on the Cumbrian Coast

in Whitehaven with a mammoth challenge

ahead of us. The first day was a moderate 30 miles

along relatively flat terrain; however by the second day

the chafe had set in and we prepared for a 45 mile ride,

including the infamous seven mile steep uphill slog to

the summit of Hartside Pass, at 1,904 feet.

On the third day we struggled to find motivation,

heavy rain not helping and to top it off one of the

pedals broke and we had to find a replacement.

However, our determined personalities pulled us

through. The final day was much more relaxed; a mere

20-mile downhill to Sunderland.

We arrived in Sunderland at about 2pm and were

pleasantly greeted by friends, family and many bemused

members of public. A quick dip in the North Sea saw

the end of our adventure.

In total we have raised approximately £1,000 split

between two very worthy causes. You can donate too

On 20 July, Paul Elliott and Peter Holder set off on a journey with a difference. The challenge: to cycle across country on the 150-mile coast -to-coast cycle route. A challenging venture in itself, but they decided to do it on unicycles! Peter tells his amazing story

MORE WHEEL-Y GOOD IDEASThe unicyclists may have brought a new angle to a coast-to-coast adventure, but you don’t have to be mad to get yourself moving as a Network. Here are ten routes to try by bike, of varying levels of difficulty:

1. London to Brighton bike rideIn support of the British Heart Foundation, the London to Brighton has been going since 1980, in which time over 650,000 riders have raised over £40 million for the charity. A good introduction to cycling in crowds, and you can take it at your own pace.

2. Taff TrailPopular cycle route, following the Lon Las Cymru national cycle route and running from Brecon to Cardiff Bay. Buses operate in the summer to take you back to Brecon.

3. North Sea Cycle RouteA 6,000 km route of cycle paths, taking in eight countries and going from the Shetland islands in the north of Scotland right down to Dover (and that’s just the UK part!) Cycling even part of the route is a breathtaking experience.

4. Kingfisher TrailThe first long distance cycle trail of its kind in Ireland, the Kingfisher has a selection of routes you can plan on its 240-mile length, around Leitrim and Fermanagh.

5. Trans Pennine TrailThe western part of this trail goes from Penistone to Southport, and is ideal for those who fancy a climb, with a view worthy of the effort.
