Departures: Round the camp fire
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.NOT all Scouts and Guides are taking the option of holding their 'camp' at Euro Disney (Departures, 1 August). Barrie Wood writes to say that Norfolk Scouts camp in the traditional style ('although environmental restrictions often prevent use of wood fires in favour of bottled gas').
This week Norfolk Scouts have been running their 'Scoutreach' camp and have invited Guides to take part. 'We share the camp with young people who are either handicapped or disadvantaged in some way. The camps usually attract about 100 youngsters, of whom two-thirds are Guides and Scouts, the remainder being young people with special needs.'
