Some folk may sneer at the work of the Scout Association, but I am not one of them for their activities occupy and possibly inspire those youngsters minded to join the organisation and others like it.
Take the case of 10-year-old twins Jack and David Taylor from Lichfield. These boys have achieved the distinction of being the first in the country to gain all 33 of the Cub Scout badges and have won the Chief Scout's Silver Award for doing so.
Jack and David had to qualify in activities as diverse as astronomy, animal caring, cooking, global conservation, map reading and navigation, martial arts, skating and world faiths.
These youngsters are an inspiration not only to other boys and girls but to the rest of us as well. If they are examples of the sort of men who will develop in the future then the country will be much better off for them.
