Visit from France!

Date: 1st Mar 2026 Author: Matt Dalton
Have you ever heard a family member say “pop around any time?” Well a few weeks ago, a member of the worldwide family of Scouting joined us in Studley to say Hi!  Lina is a Scout from Colombes (near Paris) in France who happened to be staying in the village for a week so she thought she would pop in!  Never to let anyone leave empty handed, she was presented with our very special Studley 60th Birthday Necker badge, worn by all members of the Studley Scout Family that she can take home and sew on her camp blanket.  I’m adding Colombes to my list of places to visit in the future!  In the last month we now have had scouts from New Zealand and France pop in, which country will be next?
