    I’ve been Scouting since I was 7 am now an Assistant Scout Leader and District Youth Commissioner. I have been to many jamborees as a participant and as staff on the media team. In my personal life I work as a software developer, I dance every week and I’ve just started inline speed skating. A fun fact: My fastest time completing a 3x3 Rubik’s cube is 37 seconds (slow I know!) happy to solve any up to a 5x5 if you need to restart.

There was power to the girls with Kayley Islington Guides Carnival Fest stating that ‘the girl gonna win’ - it didn’t matter which side! 16th Scunthorpe supported Sir Jammidodger to win, while Martin from Folk Fest wanted Lady Morgana to get knocked off her horse.
