Are you aware that the ARMY has people called ASOL's (based at their main Recruiting Offices - see local Yellow Pages for info) who organise FREE adventure wekend/talks for 14+ groups (OK OK its a way for them to try and recruit - so what's wrong with that!) I tried my local one and I got shedloads of mapping and expedition training materials - well presented and suitable for Scout age. They may be out of stock now but try it - don't ask - don't get! Some of the materials I got where even great for ready to go - wide games (leadership skills stuff)!!!

For Royal Navy - they have Phys Education Program - great stuff - each kid gets a logbook, you get a ready to run (sic) program - and it cost me nothing apart from a few phone calls!! If you have any problem, ask a teacher to get you the stuff - the company who sends out the stuff occasionally insists that it's sent to a school and most are gathering dust! Trouble in the education sector with any military connotation is that it's viewed with some suspicion?

BP have a great "Climate Change" Interactive CD game - great for team challenges with an environmental flavour - contact them on bpes@bp.com for details. Suitable for CSA / Explorers & Netwrok only!

Their website is www.poptel.org.uk/woodcraft - why not organise an outing together (just remember Activity Rules in POR).

(A bit like Groundforce). contact them on 0207 224 1600 - best when lots of people can benefit - not just your Pack / Colony / etc. Example projects have been pond clearance / playground / etc.
