Extra curricular activities (school)
Discussion
Inspired by the "school play" thread!
My Mum recently decided to sit down and work out which of her 4 children has participated in the most "out of school" activities.
Me, the eldest child, has come out on top!
- Rainbows
- Brownies
- Guides
- "House" music (in secondary school we had lots of events between the house groups, to promote healthy competition).
- House hockey for a few weeks (middle school that time, they were one person short)
- Swimming lessons
- Art classes
- 2 weeks in a campsite in Stratford Upon Avon at an English Literature camp.
- Pantomime
- Cricket (Primary school)
- Language Evening twice
- Anime society secretary, twice (university).
This is compared to my brother, who did football for a few weeks, my first sister who did violin for 2 terms and my youngest sister who has done swimming and ballet.
So, were you a Cub? Football player? Army cadet? Musician?

I don't think my gold medal from the national championships says that, or the captaincy of the boat club, or when I represented my country 
That's all very well but if you were put down in a the middle of a forest with only a woggle, a 5p piece (to phone home), a handkerchief and beret and left to fend for yourself how would you fare?Us Scouts are trained for that sort of thing. It's ingrained. It's part of our very souls. We lap it up. It's second nature. The Brotherhood. That's what we're known as...
You know that film BAT21? Gene Hackman surviving behind enemy lines? It was my Scout-Troop-Pack-Six that were the on-set survival experts to ensure authenticity was strictly adhered to.
Course, before all that, when I was about 7, I was in the Beavers and when out on manoeuvres we were termed the Beaver Patrol. A truly magnificent sight.
