Hello! Welcome to my blog where I will be talking about all
things Scout related, particularly my own scouting adventures. Contrary to
popular belief (well my friends beliefs anyway), Scouts do a lot more than wear
uniforms, march in parades and tie knots. Yes, we do that stuff too and as a
Scottish Scout, trust me when I say, the kilt socks are itchy. So itchy! But we
also do a lot more adventurous and exciting things to. I have been very lucky
throughout my 11 years in Scouts as I have been given several unique opportunities,
made life-long friends, travelled to many different countries, and accomplished
numerous goals which I will share with you throughout my blog.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Lauren and I am a 21
year old Marketing student from Scotland. When I am not working or doing (or at least pretending
to do) uni work I am massively involved in scouting as an Assistant Explorer
Scout Leader. Scouts has been a big part of my life since I joined when I was
10 years old. When I first joined, I wasn’t sure what to expect, I was just looking
for fun and adventure, which I most definitely attained. Not only did I participate
in dynamic activities such as kayaking, climbing and abseiling, I gained valuable
life skills which have helped me in my personal and professional life. When I
turned 18, I was not ready to give up on my Scouting adventures and wanted to
give something back. So, I hiked, climbed, sailed and camped my way to become a
leader and still love every minute of it.
Hopefully through reading my blog, you will gain an insight
into the adventures of a Scout who started off as a young girl, excited to go
camping and take part in activities who became a leader and a Queen Scout. For
those of you who are not in Scouts, the Queen Scout Award is the highest award
you can achieve in Scouting (Ye, it’s a pretty big deal!).
Be prepared!.... Reading my blog may make you very jealous and
encourage you to join the Scouting movement and start your very own adventure
if you haven’t already. Trust me, it’s fun.
