I was very interested to see the article and photographs by Derek Twine, chief executive of the Scout Association (The Argus, January 24).
Our son Christopher received the Queen's Scout Award nearly 40 years ago.
From university, he moved to Canada and for the past 12 years he has worked in the US.
Eagle Scout award, the equivalent in America.
I am sorry it is so difficult to find volunteers to be Scout leaders.
It is especially sad considering the movement was started in this country by Baden-Powell and has spread around the world.
