LATEST ONLINE EVENT                                           Our most recent zoom event on "Walthamstow Village - A Place of History" by Peter Lawrence was our most watched online talk so far. A facinating insight into Walthanstows past and how it looks today. We hope to have Peter back soon for another talk.

NEXT ONLINE TALK - 18th February 2021 at 7pm -  Women, War & Wolf Packs by Caroline Pantling.   As the First World War took hold women’s contributions to Scouting would not only increase but become critical to the survival of the Movement. During these darkest days the Scouts were looking forwards not only launching the Wolf Cubs for 8 – 10 year olds but also challenging ideas what these “Lady Scoutmasters” could achieve. Through the stories of these Scouting pioneers this talk will explore how the role of women developed and challenged the social norm.  FREE to members. Associates & non-members £3 via eventbrite. Book tickets HERE.
