My housemate does similar calculations with bathtubs full of rice, but with a more positive slant - demonstrating how many scouts there are in the world.

Like you say...Don't be so hard on yourself lad! Like you say yourself, people grow out of it. Most of them will, it's a fact of life and at the end of the day, preparing kids for the rest of the world is a very large part of what Scouting is all about. That they have grown out of it is not to be considered a failure on your part.<br /><br />Forgive me if I'm wrong, but don't cub groups tend to be larger than Scout groups? And don't they in turn tend to be larger than Explorer groups?<br /><br />While Cubs are young enough to do what their parents tell them to, scouts are old enough to make their own minds up about these things in their own time. Seems to me like a perfectly natural and healthy thing to lose a few along the way.<br /><br />Chin up lad.Dougienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238468503795479426.post-5274615495930246212010-09-30T14:46:20.388+01:002010-09-30T14:46:20.388+01:00THat's my mug!THat's my mug!Dougie Cunninghamhttp://leadinglinesphotography.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238468503795479426.post-48583305871891270102010-09-16T09:04:34.430+01:002010-09-16T09:04:34.430+01:00A couple that spring to mind are

Each unit, at the moment anyway, is only allocated 3 leaders spaces at the Unit Leader Training weekends... or so I have been told... and we would have to pay extra for all four of us to go. With this in mind, only the Unit Leader and the Deputy Unit Leader have been attending them to date.<br /><br />Its not exactly ideal, but I am looking forward to the all adults training weekend next year!Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04894522853413408092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238468503795479426.post-10519701036637871182010-06-28T10:23:07.089+01:002010-06-28T10:23:07.089+01:00Hello Scotland

In Avon there are 4 unit Leaders and all of them went to the Leaders weekend. <br /><br />So I hope you get to go to the next one, they are well worth it. You can learn a lot, pick up tips form other leaders. <br /><br />TTFN <br /><br />KChris Meadows aka Kiffhttp://www.jabbering.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238468503795479426.post-87553408402878553362010-06-28T10:00:50.727+01:002010-06-28T10:00:50.727+01:00again testing things outagain testing things outAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238468503795479426.post-19265526533647869782010-06-28T09:41:04.527+01:002010-06-28T09:41:04.527+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04894522853413408092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238468503795479426.post-67955632049466511872010-05-25T21:02:50.459+01:002010-05-25T21:02:50.459+01:00Very cool design!Very cool design!Emmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238468503795479426.post-63663062579341181222010-05-18T14:17:46.284+01:002010-05-18T14:17:46.284+01:00I wish my boss would let me update my blog from th...I wish my boss would let me update my blog from the office :(<br /><br />BLOODY SLAVEDRIVERS !!!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238468503795479426.post-50268004380515825432009-09-25T10:22:14.043+01:002009-09-25T10:22:14.043+01:00Great blog!
