David works in financial services, but he says, âoutside of my 9 to 5 I spend as much time outdoors on the water doing whatever that I possibly canâ. He is also the County Training Manager at South London Scouts and I wanted to talk to him about how he felt the last 18 months had impacted the young people he works with. âOn a positive note, I think the last 18 months have been great in that thereâs been worldwide connections which would have never happened, weâve met people, made new friends got people interested in different things that would never have happened. But on the flip side to that thereâs a massive gap in the socialization of young people. Thereâs a lot of anxiety thatâs come in that definitely wasnât there before.â
David recognises, âCovid is a big restriction at the moment and obviously whilst we need to be mindful⊠I think we should be pushing to get young people outdoors doing different activitiesâ. That said he says, âI generally find that every activity that we [South London Scouts] run will be pretty much sold out instantaneously because theyâre so keen at the moment to get back doing things which is so greatâ. In fact, there is something for everyone at the Scouts for both girls and boys from 4 years old upwards to adult volunteers. David explains, âWeâve got Squirrels starting off super young, weâve now got Cubs coming in, we then got Cub Scouts and really thereâs a place in scouting from every age really up to adultsâ. What is he looking forward to in the future, âJust getting back into the proper outdoors. We have a general saying in scouting that thereâs no such thing as bad weather just inappropriate clothingâ. The interview was recorded on Monday 18th October at 12pm BST.
