EPISODE 25 – Mon 1st November 2021– A good luck message from Chief Scout Bear Grylls, a big plug for our REQUEST2021 YouTube channel – there are some great videos now of our Thames Event held on 17th September 2021 along with all sorts of other videos including craft activities for young people and the ReQuest interview with Helen Smith. Helen has bravely stepped up to join the ReQuest2021 team very late in the day. Helen is a civil servant in her day job and is District Scout Network Commissioner for Gravesham District. She was one of the original applicants for ReQuest back in 2018 and has been waiting in the wings as first reserve for the senior participants ever since. So having interviewed all the other project participants it was only appropriate that I interview Helen as well before we go.
NOTE: I have done my best to edit out the background noise, but it was recorded in a busy pub and it has proved impossible to remove all of it.

Helen is joining REQUEST2021!
Helen Smith, now the District Scout Network Commissioner of Gravesham District, originally applied to go on REQUEST2021 as a young person way back in April 2018 and attended the original selection weekend. Unfortunately, at the time she was not one of those selected because she turned 25 years old before we sail. So, Helen sat patiently in the wings as first reserve should any of the project senior leadership team be unable to go. She has stepped up to take on the challenge in true Scouting fashion.
Helen is an active Kent Scouter and as a network scout she delivered a fantastic #KeepKentClean project to gain her Scouts of The World Award back in 2019. She is finalising the details of her REQUEST2021 personal project but it is likely to be based around plastics in the oceans or on a similar theme.
Team sad to lose Laura
The whole REQUEST2021 team are really sad to lose Laura at this very late stage who is now unable to go to Antarctica due to personal reasons. We all want to wish Laura well and thank her from the bottom of our hearts for her participation thus far. You will be there with us in spirit Laura! Take care.
