Sometimes there's an idea about that children and young people are really rather self absorbed and generally want to apply any physical or mental effort to doing something beyond just entertaining them but in my experience this is often wide of the mark.
A good many do get involved in things from learning a new sport, skills such as first aid, conservation or fund raising.
Recently Harry aged 8 appeared on Blue Peter who starting doing things such as his 100 mile bike challenge in Beavers and never really stopped doing things.
He recently completed a cycling challenge from Land's End, Cornwall to John O' Groats, Scotland raising some 21,000 pounds for St Tiddywinkles, the national charity for Hedgehogs.
His fundraising activities meant he was awarded his Gold Blue Peter badge with Chief Scout Bear Grylls and presenter Shini.
He has plans to continue in his fundraising activities, supported by his parents.
