Scouts do the right things right.

I was heartened to see this story from the Scout UK site about some Scouts on an activity in Snowdonia, where I spent many Scouting outdoors moments.

Scouts assist in emergency Snowdon rescue
Scouts aged 13 and 14 have been commended by Mountain Rescue teams for their handling of an emergency situation during an expedition in Snowdonia.


Once again, being able to rely on the skills we teach in Scouting has saved lives and resources. It underlines, for me at least, the importance of the work that's getting done in Scouting and reminds me of why I run these weekly sessions for our youth.
