85th Braid Scouts

Last night we had an evening on UK Parliament @UKParliament @YourUKParl for a slightly late #ukparliamentweek but it tied in perfectly to vote for the scouts candidates in Scottish Youth Parliament #SYP @scvotweet @CYPCS @OfficialSYP @scouts @ScoutsScotland @ScoutsMSYPs

Here is Roger Chen, our former scout, a candidate for Scottish Youth Parliament. He’s talking here about why to vote for him. We have our codes and will vote this Thursday night #ScottishYouthParliament @9thBraidScouts @103Scouts @sesscouts @scouts @ScoutsScotland @ScoutsMSYPs – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Scouts preparing to host the Savile Area Residents Association AGM tomorrow! – at Edinburgh, Scotland

We are at JOTA-JOTI today and met with a group from Portugal! #jotajoti – at Scotland, United Kingdom

One of our very own former Scouts Roger Chen has put himself forward for this! Braid district! We have registered 85th braid scouts to vote on the website. @OfficialSYP @sesscouts @7BraidScout @103Scouts @GB0BSS @niksmaclean – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Well they did it - they found a builders sack in the bushes halfway through and put all their rubbish bags in and filled it with dog poo bags and other rubbish, all in just 1 hour around the pond #Edinburgh @earthhour @sesscouts #fundraising @WWF @ScoutsScotland @worldscouting

Last night we focussed on #EarthHour and in a hurry some of the scouts from 85th braid organised to do a sponsored litter pick tomorrow around Blackford hill ahead of 8.30-9.30 #MyHourForEarth @earthhour @wwf_uk @sesscouts @ScoutsScotland @scouts justgiving.com/fundraising/8…

Today we took 14 scouts from 85th braid to Apple Store Edinburgh where they learned some coding using the @SwiftPlayground app on iPads. Hour long session. Suitable for 10+ but even older scouts got something out of it. #apple #edinburgh #skills4life @sesscouts @ScoutsScotland

11 scouts and 1 young leader joined the satellite camp @BAJamborette 2022. Our 1st time there - my 1st time leading camp. Quite the experience. They loved trading woggles and badges with scouts from all over the world - Country fair, Campfire, pirate party #jamborette @sesscouts

85th braid scouts are helping out at @churchscotland @ReidMemorial church Coffee and Craft Fair this morning - come along for #coffee #jams #marmalades and #books @MarchmontEtc @sesscouts @volunteering_uk #coffee #craftfair #edinburgh #blackford

So many activities for #wintercamp2021 @85thBraid scouts @sesscouts just had a zoom meeting and watched #wintercamptv made @starwars Origami X-Wing starfighters. Lots of dens ready - One of our scouts is camping in the garden! @ScoutsScotland #wintercamp2021 #thegreatindoors

After nearly 6 months of @zoom_us meetings Last Thurs 10 scouts from ‘Group 1’ met for a nature trail on blackford hill, while 12 in ‘Group 2’ stayed home and played on our own @UKScouting @Minecraft server and on Zoom. This week roles are reversed! @sesscouts @ScoutsScotland

Another great meeting this eve. Part 2 #astronomers badge. Once again joined by Fiona Travers from @RoyalObs and also by Megan Reiter @STFC_Matters where we saw scout solar system models, constellation maps and asked space questions @sesscouts @ScoutsScotland #TheGreatIndoors

This is a fantastic resource full of photos and facts and wildlife and blogs.
