Nothing wrong with cubs and scouts etc - well worth letting them go IMO.

Although I reckon I'd love it.

With that effort I'm surprised they asked you back.

Good for you
I was a Guide and used to help with the Brownies, but I wasn't made of the right stuff. Mind you, if you ever need an impromptu shelter or a fire I can probably help

If you want to relive your youth I'm sure a few here will help out. Since you're grown up we probably need to make it 1000m.

I was never a member of the cubs(or the brownies for that) do they still exist?

I was thinking of maybe enrolling the kids? What age can they start and does it still exist or has that threat of dodgy paedos, insurance and health & safety killed this off?

Anyone have kids that do or have done these?

All 3 of mine are in Cubs/Scouts/Explorers

They all love it and even better when there is a district camp and they are all away at the same time. Peace and Quiet for Mrs Thunderer and I. On the whole it's been very good for them.

There's a complex of old-people flats near me built a couple of years ago, and they've put a scout "hut" on the end. I guess that's some kind of community-price the developers had to pay to get the go-ahead. So they definitely still exist.

Do they have Girl Scouts here now? I thought that was a US thing.

There was a guy at my last contract who was really into Scouts in his spare time.

Girl Guides are the equivalent / sister group to Girl Scouts. Its a different name for historical reasons.

They will learn more from that than years of boredom working towards a diversity badge.
