Wiki Update and sorry about the downtime.
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010
We have recently moved from one server to what is meant to be a better one which more redundancy and reliability but had a couple of issues with the server and were unfortunately down for a couple of hours over the past few days. We have now fixed the problem and should not encounter it again.
On the better side with the new server we have been able to update Mediawiki to version 1.15.4 this is designed to give more speed, new features and get rid of some of the bugs.

Don’t carry knives, Scouts told
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
Scouts have been advised not to carry penknives unless there is a “specific” reason to do so.
The guidance, published in Scouting magazine, follows confusion over laws on carrying a knife in public and a crackdown on knife culture.
Dave Budd, who runs safety courses for scouts, said knives “of any sort” should not be carried to camps unless there was a “specific need”.
But Kent scout leader Sheila Burgin said it was health and safety gone mad.
