Scouts

[southbucks3]

Hi munch,

Don't worry if he still doesn't want to stick with it even as an explorer though, there is a massive drop out at his age and above, it doesn't mean they are any less interesting or any less enthusiastic about life than the boys and girls who keep going.

I wish our explorer scout leaders would teach them how to wash up btw.

Washing up was def on our training programme and all kit was inspected when returned after expeditions so they became pretty adept at scrubbing dirty pans

Thanks southbucks3 and KB, washing up is an alien concept to DS unfortunately. I am convinced if he doesn't know it now he never will
The Explorer leader is due to visit the group soon so fingers crossed.

Well he would fit right in with our huts explorer group then....mouldy cups in the sink seemingly EVERY week after their Friday session.

Hope he enjoys it though.

I hope that your Explorers re a bit better at communication than DS1's lot . They communicate only with the members, not parents - because as adults we shouldn't be able to see what the young people are posting - by means of a closed group on Facebook. Funnily enough, although we untrustworthy adults cannot see any of the posts, we can see who the members are and access their FB pages in the normal fashion, which would seem rather to defeat the object...
