On Saturday 12th June 2021 there will be a Conservation Day for ‘Project Lugger’ a charity they support whose aims are exceedingly simple in their aim and extremely difficult in their execution. Project Lugger is a charity organisation created to stop/prevent the cruel killing of the lugger falcon.

Lugger FalconPopular methods used to kill these innocent birds consist of using deadly traps out in the desert or using them as ‘lure birds’, to catch more ‘impressive, substantial’ falcons. The campaign was set up in May 2017 by U.K. falconer – Bob Dalton.  The aim is to halt the decline of the species and where possible, when circumstances permit, help with repopulation by reintroduction and species management.   You can support/sponsor Project Lugger HERE.

Rainbow Darcy Gets Bronze, Silver and Gold

The 1st Broadwindsor Rainbows 🌈 had a wonderful outdoor meeting at Bernards’ Place.
They made masks out of leaves that have started to fall from the trees. Barn Owl, Emma House (photographed) presented many badges that had been achieved during Lockdown. However the most special of all was the Bronze, Silver and final Gold award – the hardest award to gain in each section and it all went to one very determined Rainbow.
The Rainbow photographed is young Darcy who has worked extremely hard to achieve this. Barn Owl Emma said “She completed all 12 interest badges, 6 skills builders, 180 minutes of unit meeting activities and 6 theme badges as well as 3 elements to be awarded her gold.  As a leader it was certainly a very proud moment.

Congratulations Darcy – Well done!
