Scouting is taking to the rails

The Scout Association has had an offer from a train operator to name an engine after a Scouting theme, and we want you to name this train!  

So if you love locomotives and like a challenge, as all Scouts do, we are asking you to put your brain into motion and think of a great name that represents the Scouting brand. Names already suggested include Adventure Express, The Flying Scout and Adventure Scout - all good and keeping with the image of Scouting as adventurous, fun and challenging.  

But we know you are all brimming with ideas and want to offer you the chance to christen the train. Can you think of a great train name to encapsulate Scouting ? We would encourage you to steer clear of names incorporating Baden Powell or Gilwell House as names like these may be unfamiliar to the general public. Names should ideally be along the themes of adventure, fun and challenge. 

You could also bear in mind the stations where the train might be launched. For example, if your suggested name is along the theme of the Jamboree, Chelmsford would be an ideal location or something which ties in with the 2007 Scouting calendar.  

Keeping in mind these points and send your suggestions to sorcha.clifford@scout.org.uk, and we’ll go full steam ahead with getting this engine moving.
