Scouts and Scouters on BCUK

[Tipi]

just wondering how many scouts / scouters are here on BCUK, even ex-scouts.
I'm an explorer scout, if that means any thing to you, although am too old in Nov

just found this, http://www.inquiry.net/ for those of you who are interested

Hi mate, there is a section of the forum called leaders chatter, that should give you a rough idea of how many are or have been scouts.

Hi there, I am and Explorer Scout Leader, and troop assistant with one of our feeder groups, which really helps getting them to join us.

Anyway what do yo mean too old? I am 51 and can be just as badly behaved as a 13 year old

PS I can't get your link to work

 

[Mr_Rimps]

I'm an explorer scout leader too....must check out the leaders chatter forum and see what I've been missing.....and I agree with Zodiak, I too can be 13!

 

[Pignut]

I am an ESL also! check the Leaders Chatter section it is good!

Hi

Currently an ASL, but have been an SL in the past. Moved house, gave up Scouting for far too many years and recently realised what was missing from my life!!. Taking my lot out for a Bushcraft camp at the end of the month, if I can drag them away from their Game Boys or the Internet. Oh, physical age 48, behavioural age, about 13.

i am an ex-scout got my chief scouts award and did a couple of years in venture scouts, my bro is a scout leader as well.

 

[richardnhunt]

yep; another one here. An SL at the moment - basically joined at 8 and still having too much fun to leave for long!

Got suckered in to - sorry, I volunteered - becoming an ASL about three years ago when my son was in Beavers.

I joined Cubs in 1968 and stayed through to 1980 when I was a Venture Scout Leader.

You are by no means too old at 18. I'm 47! What about Scout Network or - dare I say it - taking out a Warrant?

I help out at a camp once a year, not scouts though, Boys Brigade, :BlueTeamE

all the best

I joined cubs at eight and never left. I’m now thirty one. Currently I’m DSL and SL and see it as my mission in life to upset our cub leaders by having far to much fun with their cubs .

I have to confess that my troop get a steady diet of bushcrafty things. But then they have always freaked out over sharp stuff and fire.

Your never to old for scouting but some leaders are far too boring!:twak:

 

[Nathan Sturgess]

[Graham_S]

LOTS OF FUN ENJOYED EVERY SECOND OF IT ALL

 

[Winston Dover]

I was a scout and venture scout before getting involved in the design of the Network. I was a cub scout leader and am now working with scouts.

Also, I am the chairman of the local scout camp site and am trying ot steer some areas for bushcrafting in to the plan.

At 33, I am proud ot say i can revert to 12 or 13 at a moments notice.
