using my camera more often
It is school holidays here in Tasmania until nearly the middle of February. Often kids have both parents working during at least part of these long holidays. My next door neighbour can occupy his time by using the trampoline. But often, kids don’t know how to entertain themselves unless they are in front of a screen – TV or computer.
As a kid in your holidays, how did you entertain yourself both indoors and outdoors?
Were you or are you a member of the Scouting or Guiding movement begun by Lord Baden Powell early in the 1900’s? Well, today celebrates the 70th year of his death in Kenya in 1941.
I began as a Brownie, then Guide where I earned the highest award – Queen’s Guide. I also ran Brownies then Guides then Rangers. I represented Australia twice in overseas camps in Fiji and Hong Kong. As an amateur radio operator, I also helped run the annual Jamboree on the air held each October.
I most enjoyed those camps where I stayed up all night talking on the radio to other operators around the world.
What did or do you enjoy about being in an organization like the Scouts or Guides?
