Indianapolis Day 1

Took a walk out with Karen for Lunch at a local coffee shop and appreciated the warm weather – back to shorts and t-shirts! In the evening I went with Andrew and David to their Scout Meeting of Troop 120. Scout Troops here keep youth members to about 18 so their meetings are 'boy led' The leaders are really just there to supervise the meeting. One thing that was different was the way that the Scouts refer to adults, where we use first or nicknames the Scouts here always use Sir or Mr... I gave the Scouts here an overview of how we run Scouting in the UK and about my travels around the world then they went out to play some team building games. One of the leaders here gave me a load of local badges (or patches as they are known here) to add to my collection.
