Well all the schools have broken up for the summer holidays and the pupils \/ students and MOST of the staff (only 4 weeks until MY<\/u><\/em> holidays \u2013 but that\u2019s a rant I don\u2019t want to go into here!) now have six weeks off.<\/p>\n

The summer holidays bring an interesting dilemma for Scout Groups and their sections \u2013 whether to stay open or close for the holidays. To be honest, we normally close, so the Beavers and Cubs finish tonight and the Scouts are carrying on an extra couple of weeks because of a camp at the beginning of next month. I don\u2019t think this is necessarily a bad thing for two reasons. <\/p>\n

First of all, it\u2019s the school holidays so families er, well, go on holiday! With all the kids scattering to the four corners of the globe, it\u2019s nigh on impossible to know who is going to turn up from one week to another which means a normal programme can\u2019t be run \u2013 you tend to end up playing games all night.<\/p>\n

Secondly, it gives the Leaders a break. It gives them time off, to go their holidays and recharge the batteries ready for starting back refreshed, renewed and full of enthusiasm in September.<\/p>\n

So have  great summer holiday and see you all in September (well actually not entirely true, of course, I\u2019ll be posting here over the hols!). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
