Fun with the Scouts

Hi all,

Among other adventures, we had 20 Scouts with us at N.I Survival School over the weekend. They wanted to learn some bushcraft and survival skills. This scout troop was very outdoor orientated and spent most of thier time canoeing, hiking or camping.

The leader, Robert was very knowledgable, motivated and organised and it was a real pleasure to teach these kids in the outdoors where scouts are supposed to be as Baden intended.

Anyway the highest compliment of the day was when Robert the leader said in front of the group that he had been a scout all his life but he had learned more that day than he already knew.

Here is a few pics of the day.

Excellent, I used to teach the Scouts many years ago at a large Scout camp site where Scouts from all over NSW used to camp once a year. But it was 100 KLM drive both ways, there & back. One year I blew a tyre, & it cost me $100.00. I decided then that I just could not afford to continue.
Well done, good to see the Scouts taking an interest in bushcraft again.
Regards, Keith.
