I had even applied to join the "Not Terribly Good Club of Great Britain" many years ago but heard nothing more.
I probably cocked up the address.

I am one of those who was 'rescued' by the Scout Association, learned some skills, learned some stuff about myself (strengths and weaknesses), developed self-respect and realised I was not worthless.
