How many trees to make a (Forest) Family?

How many trees to make a Forest Family? So, I ask this question? How many trees does it take to make a family?

So I ask the question again - How many trees does it take to make a family? Many people would say one.

International scout camp help

 Hi all, My middle son Kenzie (15) has been selected and given a place to go on an international scout camp - European Jamboree Poland, in the summer of 2021 (it should have been this year but CV19 stopped it). In order for him to be able to attend he has got to raise just under £1500, this sounds a lot BUT the trip is 18days, this price includes travel, food, accommodation, activities, a visit to Amterdam and Warsaw as well as the actual camp. He has set up a gofundme page for donations. His 1st event to raise money is a sponsored sit in a bath of  "gelli-baff" (jelly-slime stuff, its disgusting!!!)  He is also planning to do a raffle nearer Christmas.  Anyone that donates money of sponsors him for the "gelli-baff" will receive a FREE ticket to the raffle (names will be written on the ticket in the book we have ready).                                  ...
