The pack takes it salute

Here we are all turned out looking fairly traditional in our cotton dress shirt with the arms neatly rolled up and shorts all making our Scout Salute.

Sometimes we hear from various folk in policy institutes that such things as compliance with a strict uniform, showing signs of  acceptance of authority and even being prepared to stand out are things today's young people don't do, feeling less than cool.

All I can say seeing the number that are, the number of youngsters on the books waiting to join is actually they do because they sense the value of belonging to an organization and family unit such as Scouting that is prepared to train the up to look after themselves and be useful, hard working members of the community.
