Every year theres a large gathering of adults in scouting at Gilwell park, this year i went (for the 4 or 5th time) with a group of other people i have known for a fair while.
Now I walk faitly fast (stick with me there is a point here) but this year it took me over an hour to walk what normally takes me 10 minutes! the only reason was due to the number of people i bumped in to and had to catch up with. One of the most intresting Convostations i had was with a 55 ish old leader (as we all know im in my early - mid twentys) about what scouts is about and for both of us, it came down to common point. The Common point, its something that we can talk about in a instant, theres conection.
The other thing we noticed is when i was young saying i was a scout was seen as a little.... Sad?
now its more seen as something cool, alot of the older adults say now the people they talk to are really impressed that they are still in scouting.
Well after that weekend, i want a good night sleep (i had far to much fun, lots of danceing and adult beverages)
Troop Dismissed
