It's World Scout Scarf/Necker/Neckie (delete as appropriate) Day! Be sure to go out there and wear your Scarf/Necker/Neckie with pride – not just because you'll get told off if you don't.
In other news, it has been 0 days since we last broke the
eij.org.uk website, where you can find even more amazing content from the jamboree site. And by 'we' here I mean I, the editor of The River Reader. Whoops? That counter hasn't gotten above 1 yet, but our velociraptor incident counter is going great – it's almost been a week!
Be aware, there's a thunderstorm warning out there at the moment folks, with rain predicted to arrive probably around the time this masterpiece makes it to your inbox. But I'm sure it'll be fine - it's not like we have a tall radio mast on site or anything.

Why don't you take the time today to learn how to tie one, so you can be the one everyone else asks to tie their Scarf/Necker/Neckie for them!
