Today marks the anniversary of the start of the 'scout' movement by Robert Baden-Powell.
He started the boy scout movement by setting up a camp for 20 boys in 1907. The movement has become global, with (according to the BBC) 28 million scouts worldwide.

Vorovoro is a small island in the Fiji archipelago which is leased by a group of individuals calling itself 'Tribewanted'. This project is both real and virtual ..
This has had a lot of press lately - mentions on BBC radio and also in the Guardian. The idea is that you join the tribe by going to the island and / or signing up online here.
You can join the community (the tribe) for a membership fee. This gives you an opportunity to visit the island and continue your membership of the tribe online.
This is a better idea than SecondLife!
Early references to islands in Celtic myth and lore, and legends of islands at the ‘edge of the world’ and the continuum of island literature and narratives from early times show that the concept of the island is embedded into human consciousness.
