I'm a scoutleader!!

[RonW]

Yep, you read it right; as of now I am a scoutleader in the Arkhyttan Scoutkår....
New country, new language, new responsibilities and a whole new field for me to operate in!

They've asked me to join them and, allthough I hesitated to accept, one of them talked me into it. I haven't quit figured out why they specifically asked me, but I'm will soon. I am going to give it a go for a season, to see how things work out. Never have worked with kids on this scale, the language might be a problem on quit a few occassions and there might be a cultural barrier too, but hey.... I'm not the kind of person to walk away from a challenge...
I am honoured and exited!

Wish me luck, y'all...

Good luck. I hope you inspire the kids. When I was in scouts we didn't do much other than play games. The best was when we actually went and did something out side. That is what they really enjoy. Get them out in the woods as much as possible. Have fun.

Welcome to the club mate I only meant to do it for a year before I went to uni that was 6 years ago!

Good Luck Ron; working with the youth members is the better part of scouting. Getting back to that has reminded me how much better it is than being "da management". Enjoy yourself and time will fly by.
