This impacts Friday evening meeting, St Georges Day Parade, Easter Camp,&nbsp;Family &amp; Summer Camp.<br \/>\nI have suspended on line subs payments, and will look to return all camp deposits via post over the next week.<br \/>\nBaden-Powell original scouts in 1907 started with groups of boys buying weekly publications and trying out the activities with their&nbsp;family and friends. In this modern age of the internet we will look to maintain Scouting by virtual activities, where we will be&nbsp;sending activities that you can complete with your family.&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe first one is the completion of Fire Safety activity badge that we started.
