I have had some very sad news. Les Farrington / Yeti passed away last night.

For those who did not know Les / Yeti in 1989 he founded Pro-badge and went onto lead Pro-badge for twenty-one years, when I took over in 2012. He has produced a great legacy in Pro-badge which is now thirty-six years old. Many thousands of Cubs and Scout have benefitted from his vision of introducing training for Cubs and Scouts at the Solent Scout Training Centre (Lyons Copse). It is comforting to think of him passing whilst we are all at Lyons Copse this weekend continuing his legacy.

Below is a picture taken at Lyons Copse as the sun came up this morning.

Nice quiet frosty morning before I wake the Scouts up.

In April alongside our Cub and Scout courses, Pro-badge is running our Leaders Skills course which will allow leaders to pick up some new or improve on old skills and see how we run a weekend and what the cubs and scouts get up to. The Leaders skills course will teach camp sites, navigation, pioneering, and some bushcraft skills including fire lighting and cooking on both open fires and gas for a patrol or a whole camp. We will also try to answer any questions you may have. For further info please look at our website or email Pro-badge.
