My mum and dad were cub/beaver/scout/venture scout leaders over the ears in rodley. When my dad died a few months back there were 40 year old scouts there with their kids. I never realised what an effect he had on kids lives but it seemed like a pain at the time giving up nights and weekends. I think the demise in popularity of scouts over the years has had a detrimental effect on society! Totally with you on that one. (Cue lots of sarcy comments about old men in shorts sleeping in tents with little boys.... :-) ). -----Original Message----- From: Terry Emmott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: 09 October 2008 15:22 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; list leedslist <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LU] my Wed nights - for anyone who cares - 100% non LU > No - I am not Akela , I am his assistant - cub name Bagheera (the cool > black panther for those of you who have seen the Jungle Book film) - at > 3rd \ 1st Eccles Scout Group. > I used to do that too Dave when they boy Sean and his little brother were cubs.
