Making our way back

The Scout and his leader going through a residential area in Germany with their backpack's on although why they might is open to speculation as normally you'd walk through a more rural area.

Could it be they have been to a pursuit centre using a field but within the urban limits so being kinder to the environment they have decided not to use a car?

Perhaps could it be he purposely seeing this young scout to his families front door in which instance while unusual at his age here in the U.K. having him that close might seem appropriate?

While I'm of pro shorts school of Scouting, it is good to see someone of his age actually doing camping rather than just staying in resort.
