Hi, I'm Leah and this is Newsround live on CBBC.

:00:00.:00:08.

The Vikings are back in York, but don't worry!

:00:09.:00:14.

And check out the largest maze in Spain.

:00:15.:00:24.

But first this morning, around 51,000 children

:00:25.:00:26.

able to join the scouts, beavers or cubs.

:00:27.:00:30.

there's a big shortage of volunteers in areas like Surrey,

:00:31.:00:35.

It means waiting lists can't fall unless more adults join

:00:36.:00:39.

They also say those who are signed up currently aren't able

:00:40.:00:43.

One of Britain's biggest tourist attractions,

:00:44.:01:00.

the Jorvik Centre in York, has reopened again over a year

:01:01.:01:03.

after it was forced to close because of flooding.

:01:04.:01:05.

We sent Ricky up for the reopening and to find out about it.

:01:06.:01:14.

MUSIC ... And this is the Jorvik Centre, one of the most popular

:01:15.:01:26.

museums and visitor attractions in the UK. It is all about these guys,

:01:27.:01:31.

Vikings. They are finally reopening the doors after severe flooding

:01:32.:01:37.

forced it to close down. When those floodwaters came in there was

:01:38.:01:41.

nowhere for the water to escape. In some parts of the museum it was

:01:42.:01:45.

about one metre high, causing a lot of damage. But look at it today.

:01:46.:01:51.

What happened back in December 2015? Most of us were at home enjoying

:01:52.:01:55.

Christmas and I got a call to say water was coming in the back door.

:01:56.:02:00.

We called in the conservation team, the collections team, to come and

:02:01.:02:05.

get all the objects out. There are 1000 objects here and we had to get

:02:06.:02:09.

them to safety. Luckily, everything in the museum was saved. Some of the

:02:10.:02:14.

items in here are priceless. Added you get to this stage now? A lot of

:02:15.:02:19.

hard work, a lot of people involved. We decided early on we wanted to do

:02:20.:02:24.

something different. Schoolkids have been coming to this museum for more

:02:25.:02:28.

than 30 years. What do they think of the changes? I was really sad.

:02:29.:02:34.

Because it is a really cool place and a lot of the sides could have

:02:35.:02:38.

been damaged. It was amazing how civilised we were then. The smells

:02:39.:02:44.

were very disgusting! It really brought the Viking period to live

:02:45.:02:47.

and there were lots of different things that were really interesting.

:02:48.:02:52.

This team have worked hard to protect the museum from future

:02:53.:02:55.

flooding so people can continue to see what the Vikings did all those

:02:56.:02:57.

years ago. The first ever cargo train

:02:58.:03:02.

from the UK to China It took loads of things to sell,

:03:03.:03:05.

like fizzy drinks and medicines, on an epic 7,500-mile journey

:03:06.:03:08.

over 18 days. But what would you see, and need,

:03:09.:03:12.

if you took the trip? As the train pulls out of the base

:03:13.:03:25.

in Essex it will travel to waltz the Channel Tunnel, meaning it will see

:03:26.:03:29.

this for a while. After resurfacing in France you will travel on through

:03:30.:03:34.

to Belgium. If you have a sweet tooth you might expect it to be

:03:35.:03:38.

filled with fancy chocolate, but instead you will see a lot of

:03:39.:03:43.

exciting European Union buildings. After cruising through Germany, next

:03:44.:03:47.

is Poland. It is one of nine countries in the European Union that

:03:48.:03:51.

does not have the euro. Make sure you take some Polish coins with you

:03:52.:03:54.

to buy a postcard. Swing through Belarus to Russia. If temperatures

:03:55.:04:00.

drop and it slows it might be worth picking up a traditional Russian at

:04:01.:04:04.

with ear flaps to keep warm. Kazakhstan is made up of a lot of

:04:05.:04:08.

flat desert, good for rocket launchers. That is where Major Tim

:04:09.:04:15.

Peake and his crew launched to get TV I S S and landed safely back on

:04:16.:04:19.

Earth. China is famous for tea, the great Wall and making lots of things

:04:20.:04:24.

like technology and clothes. Train bosses say the 7500 mile trip to the

:04:25.:04:31.

Chinese city by train is faster than by sea and cheaper than by air.

:04:32.:04:33.

Toot, to! And finally, we see a lot

:04:34.:04:36.

of a-mazing things here This is the largest maze in Spain -

:04:37.:04:39.

its made from four thousand trees, is over five kilometres long

:04:40.:04:44.

and it'll take you about an hour That's all from me, Newsround's back

:04:45.:04:46.

right here in about half an hour. Hi, my name's Gwen.
