Essex Challenge - Scouting in Unusual Places

The Essex Challenge task for August is to undertake "Scouting in Unusual Places"

For this challenge, we thought the Police station would be an unusual place to practice some Scouting skills. We set up a tent in the Sergeant's office, and demonstrated how to tie the 'handcuff knot' to the Police Officers at the station. When we heard they did not have any cells, we thought we could help with a pioneering solution.

We all had a great afternoon, and learned a lot about Community Policing. We are grateful to the Officers at Billericay Police station for letting us use their building and showing us around.
