just been on a scout camp - slept under a tarp, taught keen young lads how to light fires and use knives and axes.... bliss!
Glad to see that there are still some sensible parents who see an accident for what it is and keep things in proportion, to hear about the accident though and hope all is well again with your laddie, So many folk go running to their Lawyer the minute there is a misshap, They forget that the Leaders are giving up their time week in and week out to
provide a learning experience for young people often whose parents will not even turn up for the annual Parents'' Night and with the best will in the world the odd accident will ofcourse happen no matter how well prepared one tries to be.. I gave up Mountain Rescue work because Teams were being Sued after they rescued some one because
they had ended up with injuries following their misshap. How sad can people get.?
