On Tuesday 2nd July Friends of Settle-Carlisle Line volunteers welcomed Settle Cubs to the first of four visits as apart of achieving their Platform for Change Badge and local knowledge/gardening badge.
Platforms for Change was created recently by the Scouts Association and Community Rail Network to raise awareness and promote local engagement with Scouting groups and local rail stations.
Over 4 weeks the local Cubs will learn about Rail Safety, contribute to local station gardening plans, learn about station history including a visit to the Water Tower and Settle Signal Box. We have also devised an I spy challenge to capture the attention of the cubs! . The final week is a rail trip to Ribblehead Viaduct.
Those leading this initiative from FoSCL perspective are Larry Jones and Jill Tiernan. Station Adopters Karl Graves and Dave Freer will be involved in the gardening week. Plus thank you to Mark Rand and Settle Signal Box crew for their support. S&C Development Company and Alice Michelmore- Brown(Public Safety Officer from North Yorkshire Fire Service.
Thank you to everyone.
