January 27 is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. 🕯 Recalls the Nazi mass murder of Jews, Roma, homosexuals, people with disabilities and other innocent victims. One of the blackest moments in human history that we must never forget. The so-called The "stolpersteine," or "stones of the missing," are reminiscent of Holocaust victims in front of the houses where they lived. These are from Karlín, Prague, this morning. #skaut #scouts #WeRemember

There were some cobwebs to shake off as our Cubs and Scouts sections met face-to-face for the first time in a while this morning. After hands were disinfected, we took to the course for a game of footgolf at Fotbal Park Praha. There was some real talent on display from the Tiger (Woods) Cubs and one of our Scouts didn't have the correct footwear - he got a hole in one. 20 young people and 6 leaders showed up with parents being 'drivers' and providing transport. The Fotbal Park were great hosts and it didn't cost a 'wedge'. Thank you

On the first day after the end of the second national COVID 19 lockdown, the Explorers went on a ghost walk in the centre of Prague. It was very interesting and the tour guide told them some very spooky stories and legends, such as the one-armed thief and the iron man.
