Volunteering for a local scout troop

[resnikov]

In a right dilemma now as to which cub group to help out
Both are local but one is walking distance the other I would have to drive.
One has a cub pack, no beaver colony and needs the helpers, the other is looking to open its 2nd Cub and Beaver units plus they need Scout leaders as of Sept.

It really comes down to the activities of each group. I am a Scout leader and really prefer working with slighter older kids. Madame Manacles used to be a Cub Leader so I've seen both sides. For outdoors stuff I tend towards Scout and Explorers for being that bit more adventurous, but you have to balance that with Cubs being at an age where they are very inquisitive and eager to learn. Tough choices...........

The personalities of the Leaders also comes into it, you need to work with these guys so being comfortable and trusting them is very important as well

Consider this when choosing, as drawing and colouring in can be boring and some Leaders are more inclined towards that sort of thing.
For me its and sharp tools others go for etc etc.
