US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton deplores as a 'travesty' Russia and China's veto of a UN resolution condemning Syria's violent crackdown on protesters.

Motorists are urged to take extra care in treacherous conditions as snow across much of the UK turns to ice.

A new operator starts running train services across the eastern counties.

Up to a third of social network users are concerned their online profile may have damaged their own reputation, a BBC survey reveals.

I've been tasked with coming up with a session for trainee sixers for a District Sixer training day.
The idea is to have 4 or 5 bases. We make up the district trainee sixers into "sixes" and appoint a starter sixer and a starter second.
The "sixes" each go to a different one of the bases, where there are several things to be done. Adults watch them and make notes.

At the end of that base, a new sixer and second are appointed and everyone moves on to a new base, after a couple of minutes of feedback.

The bases will be only about 15 mins each, and simple tasks- the idea is to get each sixer/second to actually organise the six.

Has anyone done this before? Got any ideas of things that would combine for bases?
We're using a hall with a small field with fire slabs.

The idea is NOT to teach skills but to see how the sixers cope.

Thanks

Motorists in Cambridgeshire are asked to beware of dangerous driving conditions on the county's roads.

Syria's government has been handed a "licence to kill" by Russia and China, opposition activists say, after the countries blocked a draft UN resolution.

Western nations deplore the vetoing by Russia and China of a UN resolution condemning the crackdown in Syria, as dozens are killed in Homs.

Well. Where would Wayne start. Why should he even. Maybe I am to old, tired, or whatever but Merryweather,s post just annoys me. I really find the tone (hard on the internet, I know) of this post quite sarcastic, patronising and juvenile. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion and as Scouts we should always respect the other persons views but this question to Wayne is just plain trouble making dressed up in fancy words. Wayne should not lower himself in getting involved in someone's petty little power trip.

Using little more than a vibrating motor and the snipped-off head of a toothbrush, you can make these colorful brushbots. Check out this video tutorial to learn how to do this quick and fun project. You can buy the kit in the Maker Shed, and learn how to put it together on Make: Projects!

Russia and China veto an Arab and Western-backed UN resolution condemning the violent crackdown in Syria, hours after scores are killed in Homs.

Dear Wayne
I have been following the feedback on the awards process with interest, principally because i Have been frustrated with it in some ways myself, both where it is seen by some as almost a right after a number of years service and the problems of trying to get recognition for someone who has done fantastic work, but does not have many years service.

However no one yet seems to have suggested an awards ceremony. Maybe something that could be held yearly at a national level, and recognition at a high level. I know teacher of the year award gets great publicity, so why not leader of the year?

Hi

We're looking to buy a bunch of Frost Mora Companions (formerly Clipper) - preferably stainless steel and bright orange. Anyone know of any good deals out there?

The last time I bought some it was, I think, £40 for five, but the company I got them from then doesn't seem to stock them any more.

TIA
