At a meeting this evening I was asked if the new style guide
(http://www.scouts.org.uk/supportresources//search?cat=460,263,597) was
something that we should all follow from now on.
I wasn't sure exactly how to respond, I've been just a wee bit critical
in a thread on escouts, but it's clearly taken a while to assemble so
presumably is meant to be taken seriously. The preamble says it's not
trying to create a straightjacket, but I for one couldn't feel
comfortable with most of the recommendations. So many are either
erroneous, or do not compare like with like in the examples.
So, is this now a tablet of stone, approved by TSA? Does anybody else
have any views?

Things are more like they are now than they ever were before.

You may not be aware, but The Channel Islands *ARE* "Wayne's
World"!
