Today the 2nd Nene Swallowtail Squirrels have been celebrating David Attenborough’s 100th birthday by listening to a story about a chameleon, playing animal themed games and bug hunting out in the yard. "If children grow up not knowing about nature and appreciating it, they will not understand it, and if they don't understand it, they won't protect it, and if they don't protect it, who will?" Happy Birthday Sir David. 🎂🥳🎉🎁🎈

Tonight, the squirrels, beavers and cubs at 2nd Nene have had a brilliant time working on their emergency aid badges with the amazing help of Emma and Michael from East of England Ambulance Service Charity.
Emma and Michael were brilliant with all of the young scouts and even let us all have a go in the ambulance. Thank you both for your skills, knowledge, humour and really cool vehicle! A session that won’t be forgotten for a long time.

💙 A Huge Thank You to Our Amazing Team!
We’re incredibly proud to share that the HQ floor has been completely renovated thanks to the hard work and dedication of our fantastic volunteer team. Alongside this, we’ve also carried out a massive clean‑out of our back rooms and craft room, transforming the space into something fresh, safe, and inspiring for everyone who uses it.
A huge thank you goes to our brilliant volunteers who gave their time, energy, and skills to make this happen — your efforts will benefit our young people for years to come. 🙌⚜️
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the local Parish Councillors for their generous support and help with funding this project. Your backing has made a real difference, and we’re incredibly grateful.

📣 Big discovery at 2nd Nene!

While sanding the hall floor, our amazing volunteer team accidentally triggered what can only be described as a full‑blown archaeological event…

🪵 We’ve uncovered a hidden 1999 hopscotch court.

Perfectly preserved. Deeply questionable.

Our former Group Scout Leader shared his memories:

**“Oh, I remember that. The Beavers used it for extreme jumping, the Scouts tried to clear it in one leap, and the Cubs… well, the Cubs formed some kind of hopscotch cult and guarded Box 3 like it was a sacred artefact.

Honestly, this discovery belongs in a museum.”**

More “ancient markings” may emerge as the sanding continues. We’ll keep you updated if we find any pottery, Spice Girl stickers or stray Pokémon cards from the era.

As part of our disability awareness badge this week, the 2nd Nene Kingfisher Cub pack have had a go at learning the BSL alphabet and then used it to spell their names. We also talked about a range of disabilities, and different technological advances that are improving accessibility and independence for people with diverse disabilities. It sparked some great conversations and thoughtful questions from the Cubs.
