Well the scout leading continues well so far folks.
We had five move up from cubs tonight, all of them SAT still through a knife sharpening talk I gave all of them then wanted their pocket knives sharpened.
then a dozen scouts used Lisa and my collection of mora's to work on a staff each and no one cut themselves! not even me
mildly scared the assistant by using his knife for sharpening demonstration and getting it sharper than he ahs ever had it (smug me never)
had a nice chat with one of the new members parents who wholeheartedly agreed with my views on knives etc (always nice)
but the best bit was when one new members mum collected him his first words were " can i come back next week and can i have a pocket knife?"
warm and fuzzy feeling of satisfaction is well and truely in place just wanted to share.
