Life as an Earley Troup Scout - 03-02-2012
Life as an Earley Troup Scout was never going to be dull with Paul, Jason and Dave as our leaders.
I was excited about moving up to Scouts as I had been a Cub for a few years and had got to know many of the boys who had already gone up to Scouts.
As a Cub I had been on a few activities but had no idea of all the new experiences I would come across in the next few years.
I was invested at Dartford Fire Station in June 2009 on one of our many outings. This was just the start of the many opportunities to see and try new things with boys that I now have as friends.
Over the next two years I have built my strength and stamina by taking part in our Annual Tug of War competitions and 5 a side football competitions, slept in freezing snowy conditions at Gilwell Winter Camp, climbed peaks in the Yorkshire Dales at Summer Camp, Climbed, Caved and fished my way around the country, jumped off cliff edges Coasteering, exploring London at the Lord Mayors show. I even handled a solid gold bar, which sadly I wasn’t allowed to keep.
I have ridden Segways, Zorbed in a giant beach ball and been dragged by Power Kites, just to mention a few of the activities.
These many experiences have been made so much better by the fact that I have been surrounded by friends and people who have encouraged me when I wasn’t sure if I could make it, laughed with me, and at me, when I felt fed up and miserable and supported me in making the years that I have spent in Scouts as much fun as they have been.
