Shoving electrodes into tree trunks to harvest electricity may sound like the stuff of dreams, but the idea is increasingly attracting interest.

According to New Scientist Magazine plugging your hair straightners into the local forest when on you next Scout Camp is not entirely impossible. Whilst still someway off to be developed enough to be able to take the kitchen fridge to our next green field campsite, when you lot of current Scouts become leaders – who knows! It really could be everything except the kitchen sink.

Half a ton of congratulations to the further 5 Scouts who are to become our latest 50 nights away badge holders. A remarkable result, just shocking that us as leaders have been away with you for that long! If you are one of the lucky recipients, then your badge is winging it’s way to you on the first night back.

Ingenious! Our Scouts could have taken it in turns every day – Tesco Value honey is well cheap! We would even have let them keep their clothes on!

Why didn’t we think of that!?

They just need to speak to us – we’ll tell them how to get rid of ‘em! The National Trust warden was rather impressed with the number of wasps we’d caught in our traps. Tesco Value Golden Syrup is all you need.

It’s looking fairly good, but I’m not holding my breath, nor am I believeing it till I see it.

This looks pretty good – and it’s at the Tate! However, looking at information, which is quite hard to locate, I’ve got a funny feeling we’re going to be a day too late…
