Tenacious D Parody – Last week Simon quit the Scouts

Posted: September 26, 2008 | Author: | Filed under: Funny, Network Scouts, Parodies, Scouting, Scouts | Leave a comment

At long last Ive found a fitting parody for my good friend Simon Trimble.

To the tune of – Last week Kyle quit the band, by Tenacious D

Last week, Simon quit the scouts,
Now he’s joined up again, uh.
Misunderstanding, didn’t understand.
It doesn’t matter, now hes joined right by up again
A-la la la la la.
Couldn’t split up Ivor and Frank. (that’s true)
Couldn’t split up Michael and Kirsten.
That’s also true!
This is our song of exultant joy because
We only came to cook on gas.
Pitch some fuckin’ tents and cook on gas.
What we gonna do with all these Scouts?
Tie Knots!, and then we Pitch .
We’ll throw a big old Camp y’all.
And everyone is invited to the Camp.
And everyone you’re all invited to the Camp!
C’mon Simon, one time c’mon!

Digital Media Island Belfast

I attended Digital Media Island – Belfast this evening, A great event ran using funding from the kind people at The Digital Media Forum and Northern Irelands very own Digital Circle.

The event has been touring Ireland this year, South, East, West and this the last event in Belfast.

The purpose was for people interested in talking about things like social technology, open source, raising venture capital, web 2.0, Wi-Fi and, of course, digital content to just meet up, sound each other out for opinion and criticism and demo their idea or product.

Like OpenCoffee I met with some familiar face’s, put some faces to twitter names and met some great new people.

One guy in Particular Liam who runs SquarePit and Belfast Urban Sports , between the two of us we where able to plan a great evenings events for a group of my local Scouts – Super.

A great evening! Cheers to everyone who was there !

Scouting Ireland appoints new Chief Scout

Posted: September 13, 2008 | Author: | Filed under: Scouting, UK Scouts | 1 Comment

Press release reads

The National Management Committee has announced the election of Michael John Shinnick as the new Chief Scout to hold the position until the end of National Council 2009…

MJ Shinnick

Michael John Shinnick has vast experience within the Association and is currently Chief Commissioner, Adult Resources. He will take up the appointment with effect from 12.00 midnight on Sunday 28 September 2008 taking over the position from Mr Martin Burbridge.

We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Michael John Shinnick  and to wish him every success in his up and coming role.

We would also like to thank Martin Burbridge for his work and commitment as Chief Scout for the past 5 years and e xtend every good wish to him and his wife Eileen in the future.

Its great to see that people have the time to take on such a role, it is a critical role in scouting and is pretty much more than a full time job!

Mean while in the UK, the hunt for a new Chief Scout continues to find someone to replace the fantastic Peter Duncan of Blue Peter fame, Peter has done a great job from digging the movement out of its old image and brought us right into the future, I wonder who will replace him, My money is on Richard Hammond of Top Gear fame, He has applied and written greatly about his feelings about scouting, he himself an ex scouter in my opinion is a great man for the job!

The problem with local Scouting is the leaders………. not the Scouts

Posted: September 13, 2008 | Author: | Filed under: Do something Now is good, Interesting, Scouting, Scouting Itreland, Scouts, UK Scouts, Venture Scouts | Leave a comment

I do alot of work with the Scouts, its the one thing in my life (apart from my family) that truely gives me alot of satisfaction that I am giving something back to the community, be back skills, time or both.

But time and time again I am frustrated by the behaviour of other scout groups Scouts when on camps and at events, No respect for other groups belonging, Rubbish, behavour toward scouts of a different religion, disregard for rules, everything!
It was only when I stepped away from my own group to do staff at a few events in England i began to realise that the problem with scouts was nothing todo with the kids, they where merly following the example of there leaders disregard for others and Im talking so simple stuff here, like take rubbish to the bin, dispose of waste water at the appropriate points and dont drive on the grass people have to camp there!
Sort yourself out leaders, these Kids are the future of our movement and your attitude is distroying theres!
