My son was enjoying Cubs at the 43rd when the two leaders gave a years notice - I offered to be a helper and found myself enrolled as Assistant Cub Leader. I learned a lot about Scouting and myself! I loved being involved and helping to come up with new and exciting programmes for each term - for five years. A new challenge came along to run the Beaver colony, which once again has been great fun, a joy to volunteer with another group of enthusiastic assistant leaders and introducing 6 year olds to the world of Scouting.

First Guide Group : I was a Girl Guide in Bude, Cornwall - I have fond memories of doing my first aid badge, helping at the local Nursing Home on Sundays for my Queen's Award and the monthly Scout/Guide discos.

Most Useful Skill - Putting my hand up!

Most Useless Skill - I have knitted the Queen.
