You make it sound as if noone is willing to do anything these days and that isnt right.There are at least 3 active scout groups in Barry Alone. I believe the Sea Cadets still exist as well.Was over the boat this morning and there were dozens of kids being taught in Oppies and toppers with a mixture of proffesional instructors and willing volunteers in safety boats etc. Really great to see so many of them doing something worthwile.
Sure the leaders and helpers have to jump through a few more hoops to keep within the rules these days. Just to be a parent helper with the scouts I had to attend a short course on child protection and have a police check. Not a bad thing IMHO.Theres no doubt that in the past these organizations have been used by some adults with evil intent.
Fortunately there are still some decent people willing to run scouts etc .
