Face to face Explorers returns! 30th March 2021 | By Oliver Gidman | 0 Comments Yesterday, Monday 29th March 2021, SRF Explorers finally returned after months of virtual meetings. With the easing of UK lockdown, scouting guidance allows us to meet outside only, in a socially distanced fashion. To mark the occasion SRF had a chilled out campfire where everyone was able to catch up and enjoy being in the company of others! Everyone was excited to be back and we gathered ideas for what the Explorers want to do over the coming months.
