join the sea cadets
Instead of joining the scouts where you learn a few knots go camping and maybe a bit of kayaking why don't you join the sea cadets. The scouts are quite frankly lame compared to any of the cadet groups.
I was a scout and when ever we went on trips the adults did most of the stuff for us a babied us and even the older ones.
But at cadets the only thing that the adults do is some of the cooking.
The only reason why we don't have as many cadets is that we spend our money on enhancing the time of the cadets and not on advertising.
So who agrees that the scouts are lame?
