Scouts Vs Girl Guides?

Great advice MD! I hadn't overly considered those points so thank you.

Depends on the child too. My daughter is very hands on, outdoorsy and adventurous, she's gotten bored and quit so many things. But never seen her so into something before. The camps are a massive draw card for her too, they go to some really cool places. We live near a military base and one activity we just missed out on was light plane rides at the base! Only $50 each and a day out they would never forget. Its not that exxy every activity, some are very cheap, but they have so many cool options and chances to do things other kids wouldnt.

My DH is a head scout leader so naturally my kids do scouts (joeys and cubs) DD will be going up to scouts soon. The reason DH became a leader was because I am ultra paranoid lol and DD wanted to do cubs and I feel better knowing he knows all the leaders, can go to any camp and be there for the kids. They feel special too. And I'm sure it will be a part of their lives they will always cherish.

Where I did the whole scout/guide thing, the guides are now pretty lame. Numbers are dwindling, so they're struggling for leaders, so the activities just aren't as good.

I say Scouts, for that reason.

I was also a Showtime tragic.

I met my DH through Scouts :redface: We are such nerds... :D

Also, I was a Joey leader for a while, I took my Joeys camping once a year.

i was in it from 91 to 96 i think - i was doing year 12 in 97 so didn't go in the show that year - i did ticket sales with mum though and front of house/kiosk stuff as well

my brother was in it from it's 21st show so either 88 or 89 - can't recall for sure! i just know it was the 21st year cos one of his performances had three newbies in their first year, and three of the older peeps involved in their 21st show lol

A bit before my time :redface:
I think I saw your show in 2000?
Is it still going?
My sister sees almost every single scout show in Victoria- so she probably still sees it :)
Small world

We were a big scout family. Both parents scout leaders us kids went from Joeys to venturers and loved every minute
I long for my kids to join scouts.
