Not scouts but I'm a civilian instructor for the ATC. I teach the D of E award, navigation, bushcraft and survival, and enjoy it too. We get to go to lots of places sometimes miltary training areas. The kids absolutely love all that stuff, and most of them are good kids. Not Bushcraft, but we're off to HMS Bristol down in Portsmouth in a couple of weeks time and we'll be staying on the ship (frigate I think) Last year we went on HMS Victory and had the full monty tour amongst other things. Excellent stuff and as a volunteer I don't have to pay for a thing and get fed for the weekend all for free and drink in the sergeants mess beers not free though
I'm a Scout Leader (ASL and previously acting SL for another troop). I started in 2000, at the age of 34, having no previous experience in scouting whatsoever! In the last 12 months I've also helped run the groups Cub Pack, and helped out with other troops/explorer units when they've done bushcrafty things.
