From the Back Cover
Soon his scout section was full up and John found himself a first-hand witness to what the youngsters of today get up to, what they say and what they do, whether it be at troop meeting, camp, hike or other scouting activity.
At times hilarious and at others touching, John recounts episodes of not only scouts at play, but also leaders, trainers, helpers and the other scout sections as well as the girl guides that John's scouts came across from time to time, with insights from his past that brought him into scouting at a time when most are thinking of putting their feet up.
Like many scout leaders John works full time. He lives with his family in Kent.
In his first year as a scout leader he won his scout county's Arrowhead Award for New Volunteer of the Year in Chislehurst District, England.
Scouting continues to occupy much of his spare time.
A donation will be made from the sale of this book to the work of scout groups in John's local area.
