Clare rambles around Epping Forest with the new Chief Scout, Dwayne Fields. He was appointed in September 2024, taking over from Bear Grylls, and has a wealth of adventure experience under his belt. Dwayne was born in Jamaica and came to the UK at the age of six. He grew up in inner city London and says his formative years were wrapped up in social stigma, and he became a victim of both knife and gun crime. He managed to break away from this culture by spending time in outdoor spaces like Hackney Marshes, rediscovering a love of the outdoors he had felt deeply as a youngster in Jamaica. He remembers watching a TV interview with James Cracknell and Ben Fogle who were looking for a third team member to join a polar expedition. Although by the time he applied he was too late for selection, Dwayne did eventually join another trip and became the first black Briton to trek to the north pole.For Ramblings he leads Clare from the Scout Centre at Gilwell Park into and around Epping Forest. According to the Epping Forest Heritage Trust, it's the largest open space in London at just over 6000 acres stretching from Manor Park in east London to just north of Epping in Essex.

The history of B-P is naturally lengthy in detail. Knowing the brief history will help you gain insight as to the foundations of Scouting. Over 160 years ago on February 22nd (1857) Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell was born at home in London. His mother Henrietta Gace Powell and his father Professor Baden Powell an Oxford clergyman and academic lived in the Paddington area. By the time he was 8 years old, ‘Robert’ or ‘Stevie’ (Moms’ preferred name) wrote: “Laws for me when I am old”. B-P Loved nature and the outdoors. He was a pretty good artist and a resourceful student. On September 11, 1876, B-P received his army commission. Deployed with 13th Hussars in northern India. For the next 20 years, he was deployed all over Europe, Asia, and Africa. Germany, France, and Russia where he was spying for Great Britain. He developed Reconnaissance and Scouting training for the military. In October of 1899, B-P was deployed with 1000 troops in the 2nd Anglo-Boer War (South African War) in South Africa. Stationed at Mafeking with 18,000 enemy Duch troops surrounding it. While at Mafeking the book “Aids to Scouting for NCOs & Men” was published back in Great Britain. A “Cadet Corp” was formed from boys over 9 years. This developed into the “Patrol System”. Mafeking was under siege for 217 days without relief. B-P became a hero and promoted to Major-General. Returning home a few years later he was surprised that “Boys’ Brigades” had formed based on his book. The Brownsea Island Camp Experiment started on August 1, 1907. 20 Boys with 8 Adults, 4 Patrols over 8 days. The rest of 1907 “Scouting Scheme,” wrote the Scout Law, the ‘Crusade’ lecture tour. In 1908 Scouting for Boys was published (6 issues at 2 pence each)... As adult leaders in the largest youth movement in the world, we need to do some homework to fill out the rest of the Scouting story. Here is a timeline of events that were not covered in the video. 1909 The National Headquarters was set up in London, just ½ mile south of Buckingham Palace. 1909-1910 King Edward VII asked B-P to leave the army and do Scouting fulltime. 1910 The Boy Scouts of America became incorporated. 1912 B-P got married to Olave. 1912 King George V granted a Royal Charter to Scouting. 1914 The “Great War” started (First World War) Scouting helped the home front. 1916 Wolf Cubs started in England (known as Cub Scouts in the US in 1930). 1919 Gilwell Park was established (12 miles northeast of Buckingham Palace). 1920 First World Jamboree (3 miles west of Buckingham Palace). 1929 King George V conferred the title of 'Lord of Gilwell' on B-P 1932 Lord Somers appointed Chief Commissioner. 1937 World Jamboree (Netherlands) B-P gave the famous farewell speech. 1938 Moved to Nyeri Kenya for health reasons. 1939 B-P nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize along with others, including Hitler. The scandal led to no one being awarded that year. January 8, 1941 B-P Pasted away and was laid to rest at St Peter’s Churchyard. 1941 Lord Somers became ‘Chief Scout of the British Empire’. Only B-P was the ‘Chief Scout of the World’.

♫“Back to Gilwell O’Happy Land… I’m Going to work my Ticket if I can.”♫ Wood Badge is the highest level of adult Scout leader training available in the World. The first Wood Badge training was organized by Francis "Skipper" Gidney and lectured by Robert Baden-Powell and others at Gilwell Park in the UK in September of 1919. The first course in America was held at Schiff Scout Reservation in 1948. Scouters wanting to take the course must be fully position trained with current YPT. All levels of Scouts BSA are encouraged to take this high-level training. Wood Badge is set up as a 6-day course. One full week or two full weekends of training. After completing the course members of Troop 1 start working their “ticket” to complete the training. On completion, the Scouter is awarded the Gilwell Wood beads, neckerchief, and woggle. Warning, this is high-level training. I have seen it change peoples point of view of the world. Your critter and patrol members will become a special part of your scouting life.

The podcast has a Discord server, a museum opens at Gilwell Park...and hey, what can you do with your used camping gear? Podcast Topics Scouting Stuff is proud to announce — officially, now — the launch of their Discord server; you can join it today at: discord.io/scoutingstuff For those not familiar with Discord, it's a text/voice/video chat application that was initially designed for — and is still, in many respects, targeted toward — the video gaming community. However, it also offers some of the crispest, highest-quality voice chat available online today (for free, at any rate); it easily and handily beats Hangouts and Skype for both quality and reliability. And indeed, we've used it a couple of times already to record Scouting Stuff episodes! So: come and join us on Discord. In addition to chatting with the podcast team and other Scouts and Scouters, you’ll be able to jump in on recordings when they happen, either to lurk and listen or to participate. In other news, did you know that a Museum of Scouting has been opened at Gilwell Park in England? As part of the celebration of the Park’s 100th anniversary, the museum there had its official opening; it’s evidently situated in the Camp Square at the park. Many thanks to podcast listener (and Big Man in the Woods) Mark Yeats for bringing this to our attention! All that said, though, the topic of this episode is actually...gear donation! Scouter Ken has recently been the recipient of a number of donations of camping gear from members of his church community, a side effect of his visibility therein as a member of Scouts Canada following his reception of the Religion in Life award. Some Scouting councils — this is certainly true of Ken and Colin’s home council, Northern Lights Council — have gear donation programs in place, whereby they can receive gently used camping gear from the community (or from Scout Groups that are looking to replace gear and have older gear they no longer need), and then distribute this to Groups that need it. But if your council doesn’t offer this service, consider approaching the council office and volunteering to set a gear bank up! Like as not, there are always Groups — and Scouting families — who will have need of gear, and who will happily accept donated gear if it means their youth can take part in more Scouting adventures. Shout-Outs Firstly, we have another shout-out to offer podcast listener Dan Tapley, who wrote in regarding our episode on food handling: Just listening to this episode while waiting for the plane home after vacationing in BC. Your comment about a squirrel absconding with a granola bar made me laugh. I saw the same thing happen at the top of Dog Mountain lookout yesterday. A lady pulled out a protein bar only to have a raven swoop down and fly off with the bar. Good timing by the bird! And thanks to Dan, for sending that story in. And. as always, a big thank you to the folks at Scouting Radio for rebroadcasting Scouting Stuff episodes to their worldwide Scouting audience.

Owen visits Gilwell Park and speaks with the Head Gardener Charlie Thoirs.

In der IARU Region 1 gibt es eine Gruppe, die internationale Treffen für junge Funkamateure organisiert. Die Rede ist von YOTA - Youngsters on the air. 2017 fand das Treffen in Gilwell Park bei London statt. Für Deutschland haben teilgenommen Markus Großer, DL8GM, Joshua Hoffmann, DC7IA; Lars Rokita, DL4APT und Jakob Strickler, DK3CW. In dieser Folge des Amateurfunk Podcast erfahrt ihr mehr über das Leben auf dem YOTA-Camp. Lars war als Teamleiter mit in Gilwell Park und berichtet vom Campleben, dem Rahmenprogramm und einem vergleichsweise skurrilen Contest. Jakob hat die 1.700 km lange Strecke von Frankfurt nach London mit dem Fahrrad zurückgelegt. Seine Fahrt war per APRS verfolgbar. Außerdem war er während der Fahrt oft QRV - teilweise sogar in CW. Markus berichtet von einem SDR-basierten Transceiverbausatz, an dessen Entwicklung er beteiligt ist. Einen Einblick in den Ablauf eines ISS-Kontakts gibt uns Joshua. Er war bei einem solchen Ereignis dabei und hatte die Gelegenheit, für die Dauer einer Frage mit Paolo Nespoli an Bord der ISS zu sprechen.

In this episode extra episode, Martin M1MRB / W9ICQ and Martin Rothwell M0SGL visit the YOTA 2017 event at Gilwell Park to talk to the participants, organisers and volunteers at this year's event.

What is the Wood Badge? What does it signify, and how do different Scouting organizations train their leaders in it? Subscribe on iTunes | Subscribe on Google Play | Subscribe on Android | Like Us on Facebook | Follow Us on Twitter----more----Podcast Topics Ken and Brian discuss the Wood Badge — a leadership training program instituted in 1919, with the first session held at Gilwell Park (at which Baden Powell was one of the lecturers) — and how it serves to train Scouters with advanced leadership skills, so as to better deliver the Scouting program to the youth of their groups. Also discussed: the fact that the Wood Badge is very much a global phenomenon, with many National Scouting Organizations (NSOs) around the world having implemented it. Some NSOs — such as Scouts Canada — even make elements of the Wood Badge mandatory; Scouters in Scouts Canada must complete what is known as Wood Badge 1 in order to serve as Scouters at all. Completing Wood Badge is itself a mark of honour; it confers membership in the 1st Gilwell Scout Group, as signified by the tan-and-tartan Gilwell Necker. A set of beads is also given to Scouters who complete Wood Badge, a tradition that was taken from Baden Powell's time and experiences in what was (at least in 1888) known as Zululand. And perhaps most importantly, Wood Badge is a means for Scouters the world over to build connections and friendships, and to deepen their commitment to the Scouting movement.Shout-Outs As always, a big thank you to the folks at Scouting Radio for rebroadcasting Scouting Stuff episodes to their worldwide Scouting audience.
