FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Bedfordshire Scouts Centenary Calendar

2007 is Scouts Centenary Year

Bedfordshire Scoutrs 2007 Calendar26th October 2006 -- 

At 8am on Thursday 1st August 1907, Robert Baden Powell sounded a bugle call that started the very first Scout camp on Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour. At 8am on Wednesday 1st August 2007 the echo of this bugle call will rouse over 28 million Scouts around the world at sunrise camps where they will gather to celebrate 100 years of Scouting.

To commemorate this event Bedfordshire Scouts, with the help of county archivist Mrs Cynth Sutherst, have produced a desk calendar as a memento of Scouting in our county over the past 100 years. Each month has a relevant themed picture and the calendar comes in a smart CD jewel case that doubles as a desk stand.

Included with the calendar is a reminder of key Scouting milestones over the last 100 years. Even more important, there is a useful timetable of the major events that we will all be celebrating in centenary year.

The calendar costs £4.50 each post free and all profits go to the county jamboree fund. Calendars are on sale from Someries Scout Shop or can be ordered by leaving an address and telephone number on BedsSctsCal2007_@aol._com
