Another positive step in the right direction for an organization rife with brokenness. There's a lot I don't like about the organization, but this is something a love--a scouting organization open to young women and the lgbtq community. The next step is being inclusive of nonreligious agnostic and atheist youth and leaders. As well as ending the cultural appropriation of Native American peoples.

May this organization continue to build up youth, never allow further violence against youth, and make amends for all the wrongs. There's a lot of good that comes out of organizations like this and I won't discount it even though it's riddled with a dark history.

A cyclist's new hobby of cleaning street signs has already taken him as far afield as Belgium.

John Edwards, from Shrewsbury, took up the hobby after spotting a video of a man improving signs during lockdown.

Since then he has posted clips of his cleaning around the county, and has even been tidying up the signs in Belgium after watching a cyclist race.

Mr Edwards said he was delighted to clean the signs and the response from the public was "gangbusters".
