I’m going to start looking for other Scouting-related blogs so I can put links to them on the sidebar to the right. So when I do have some blogs to link to, please have a look at them!
I’m also hoping some of these people link back to my blog so some more people read mine 
I have exams this week so YET AGAIN I won’t be able to go to scouts. I’m gonna have to miss explorers to revise. This is starting to get annoying now. I’ve missed scouts the last two weeks because of all the snow and stuff.
I should be able to go and help out on thursday though
1940 was a remarkable year in which Britain experienced the blitz, saw the start of food rationing and sent evacuees away from their homes. To commemorate the 70th anniversary of this astounding year, factual channel Yesterday is releasing a selection of TV shows that celebrate the spirit of 1940 during wartime in Britain, and now Yesterday needs you!
Yesterday are compiling an online library of war stories and memorabilia from WW2, and they need people to send in content that they can upload to their website. If you have any memories or photographs of the Second World War, make sure you send them in!
You can get involved in many different ways, such as sending in scans of photographs, or emails sharing your stories. If you’re like me and were born a long time after the war, why not see if your neighbours or older relatives have anything to share?
Send memories in any format by email and Yesterday will feature the best on the website. To get involved, simply visit www.visityesterday.co.uk or email your stories to your1940story@uktv.co.uk
The first commission from The Spirit of the 1940s begins with Ration Book Britain, a brand new, one hour special that begins on 15 January 2010 at 5pm. This particular show will commemorate the 70th anniversary of the start of food rationing in Britain, with a unique look at this period of austerity in British history and the impact that rationing had on individual lives.
This isn’t really scout related news but I think it’s a great idea to digitally document people’s stories about the war. Projects like this give people all across the globe an insight into what life is/was like for different people, and I believe it’s extremely important that we have that insight.

We’ve had an extremely cold start the new year and it’s brought both benefits and complications. The main benifit was being able to go home from school early on Tuesday and get the day off on Wednesday, but because of Icy roads near where I live I couldn’t get a lift down to Bradley to help out at Scouts. But meh, my Xbox saved me from boredom.
Monday was an awesome night. We went to LazerZone and played 4 or 5 games or Lazer Tag. A bit pricey at £10 but it was great fun. Although I’m not really that good at it. I came last place in the first 2 games then I came ALMOST last in the rest.
I’m hoping to go on the 2011 Jamboree in Sweden and I heard that there’s a selection weekend sometime in February. I’m gonna be going to that and I hope to get one of the guaranteed places with the W.Yorkshire contingents.
I need to push this blog out further so more people read it and that selection weekend might just give me a brilliant oppurtunity to do so…
