There may be a large number of sea scout groups in north Wales? Or the daily mail made a mistake, strange I know!

Any way well done NHQ for an excellent bit of PR which will have long term benefits.

Somehow I doubt they of all people would have any trouble!

So big question.... Will Kate be wearing the standard issue scout trousers?

[Raksha]

Great news, but I bet the Guide Association are a bit miffed this morning!

I hope Miranda Hart will be joining us later on in the year too - she'd be fantastic for recruiting more girls.

Excellent news, we really could not have picked a higher profile female right now.
