Listening to @HistoryHit After Dark episodes on Eyam. @MaddyPelling talking about doing the story as a school play, we did this too ‘The roses of Eyam’. I was one of the star crossed lovers Roland (from Stony Middleton) and Emmett as featured in the church window (bottom right).

Had a great chat with @WillForster, who gets his Christmas tree from his local Woking scouts every year! It was wonderful discussing the vital role scouts play in his community and exploring ways we can work to boost volunteer recruitment and help reduce waiting lists.

"Now I want a new generation to learn the skills for life, friendship and belonging I felt when I needed them most. I want to show that the outdoors is a place for all..." New Chief Scout @DwayneFields speaks with @BBCNewsround about the role:

Delighted @DwayneFields is our new Chief Scout. He’s been a Scout Ambassador since 2017 and came to the opening of the heritage service’s Gilwell100 @EFDMuseum back in 2019 where he gifted his scarf to the niece of William de Bois Maclaren (who bought Gilwell for the Scouts).

We’re excited to announce @DwayneFields, adventurer and TV presenter, as the UK’s new Chief Scout. He's been appointed to lead our half a million young people and adult volunteers. Read more at: https://t.co/bBc0ZgjikQ

#InternationalCatDay from 1991-1997 the Cub @Scouts Pet Lover badge featured a gold cat. The design was changed to a (whisper) D-O-G after the badge was sponsored by @TheKennelClubUK. In 2002 changed to a hands hugging a rabbit and today features a paw print in a heart.

Walthamstow an update for tonight on how to get home safely if you use central station and the need to be aware there’s lots of disinformation being shared - please help us get through this together by sharing this!

My team know me so well, what a great birthday present. Lovely sunny day so I’ll be in the garden reading @TheRestHistory

A wonderful morning at the King’s Birthday Parade. Managed at least three seasons of weather across a couple of hours, thanks to being prepared for the British weather we stayed fairly dry. After a wet walk up to the RAF Club the sun came out just in time for the fly past.

Ahead of HM King’s official birthday this weekend, we’re excited to share that His Majesty King Charles III has been confirmed as our new Patron.

Love hearing about the story of @ChawtonHouse and all the innovative activities and income initiatives which included a @scouts camp in the walled garden. Sounds amazing, Jane Austen, an Elizabethan house and Scouting it’s like a venn diagram of my fav things. #AIMconference2024

Very powerful talk about vision, managing change, encouraging audiences (new and old) to try new things and staying or becoming more relevant. Great lessons for the museum and charity sectors. #AIMconference2025

Amazing conference evening @BCLivingMuseum with a funfair, chippy tea in the Workers Institute and a drink in the atmospheric Elephant and Castle pub. Looking forward to the second day of #AIMConference2024

John reciting his Black Country sonnet was such a brilliant and emotive start to the conference and really helped build the sense of place. #AIMconference24
