Ben (Year 9) and Jonathan (Year 11) from the 2nd Loughborough Scouts (LSF) both appeared on BBC Radio Leicester on Wednesday to speak about a new challenge badge created for all organised youth organisations: scouting, guiding, cadets. This was in memory of a local volunteer leader who had taken his own life during lockdown. Ben was responsible for the design of the badge and Jonathan has created a website (www.froggochallenge.co.uk) with the initiative raising funds for Papyrus prevention of young suicide. You can catch up on their interview on the BBC Leicester website (4.40 pm on Wed 1 July).
