Youth-led Investitures. At Wild Wolf ESU you have to recite all of your Scout Laws and your Scout Promise by heart during your investiture. It’s a solemn moment that our Unit takes seriously, and new members really do have to learn all their Laws! People are often surprised by this, but it’s very achievable. In […]

The Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival takes place in Canada every November, and then […]

Tickets will be available on the gate, but once we have reached capacity we will not be able to admit any more people, ticket holders excepted. Please arrive as early as you can to avoid […]
