It's a few years now since I was a bou Scout but I missed it so much I became an adult volunteer.
I love it as I can still be like a kid and do all the adventurous activities with them whilst helping and coaching the young people.

I was pretty mad at all the bad rep some scout leaders gave to the whole movement. A few bad actors ruin the fun for everyone. Then the politics involved in the whole boys and girl scouts etc...
But man, I miss it. I've wanted to go camping for years and I did it a few months ago with my gf and niece and it was a shitshow, it rained, they complained, they wanted a bed etc etc xD
Fun days
That's life all over, its often a few bad actors who ruin a good thing for everyone else.
The Scout movement definitely took a knocking but here in the UK, a lot of work has been done to modernise and put safeguarding controls in.
For me, I have a passion to help others develop and reach there full potential. Scouting as an adult leader gives me the chance to challenge and inspire some young people and then see the incredible journeys of growth that they go on.
I can do all of that whilst doing some pretty cool adventurous activities that I wouldn't do otherwise.
