Over 100 Scouts were one of only two scheduled UK contacts with the International Space Station. They took part in a Q&A session with NASA astronaut Jonny Kim. Thanks to @theRSGB and @spacegovuk for the opportunity!
The spotlight really was on #amateurradio today with the @Ariss_intl contact between the 1st Radford Semele, 1st Sydenham, 1st/6th Leamington Scouts, the Trident Explorer Unit and the @Space_station Congratulations to all @scouts and leaders involved! #dreambig

Being outdoors helps young people build #SkillsForLife. Scouts, as a member of the Access Unlimited coalition, is calling on government to guarantee access to nature for all children.
Dear @Keir_Starmer: Act now to unlock access to nature for every young person. The benefits are proven — confidence, resilience, wellbeing. But access is privileged. We urge Government to guarantee outdoor learning residentials for all. Our letter: https://t.co/bJ4ycHAwwM
