Alan Norton and his son, Robert, live in Little Eversden. Alan is Scout Leader of Orwell Scouts. Robert is now a District Assistant with the Explorer Scouts covering the whole area.

Over many years many Eversden children have helped strengthen Orwell Scouts – sometimes outnumbering Orwell children. The first girl to be accepted in the troop was an Eversden girl. It was a two-year battle but she made it.

At the moment there are only two children who cross the hill for scout meetings. Do Eversden youngsters know what’s on offer?

This year is a wonderful year for scouting. Thursday 22^nd February 2007 marks Founder’s Day and is the 150^th anniversary of Lord Baden-Powell’s birth. By way of celebration this year there will be mass camping weekends, jamborees, and all sorts of scouting fun and adventure all over the country. The 5000 Cambridgeshire scouts will be playing a full part.

Why not email Alan (click) and be part of this great scouting year.

The recent tree-planting event was part of this programme. Turner’s Wood can be seen from the top of the bridleway that starts at the phone box in Little Eversden. One day it will be a great wood of English native trees. Some of our youngsters planted it and will see it begin to mature. It is one of one hundred brand new woods being planted by scouts this year.
