Phew- it was a totally different type of training this weekend. We went up to Birmingham to attend the The National Outdoor Expo. We did less miles but miles more talking and networking (which is probably more exhausting!) We had the chance to chat to an amazing array of people including scouts from all over the UK, a couple of the Scout ambassadors, some celebrities who love the outdoors and some innovative and brilliant companies.
We realised that the younger two make a very enthusiastic sales team moving smoothly from describing our adventure to plugging our badges and woggles (available here– I think I’m learning from them!)
We have some fabulously exciting collaborations in the pipeline following this weekend- more to come on this!
We got the message loud and clear that we definitely need to be on Instagram (and possibly TikTok which was Nighthawk ESU advice) and so we are opening an account. We have however, been temporarily blocked for 24 hours so watch this space. We choose to believe that this is the algorithm error and not a user error…..
