Thanks.
We've met a lot of nice people on our Trek, basically from all over the world.
When you live among tons of half-timbered houses and old castles, you tend to forget that it might be an unusual sight for other people.
What I love about being in the Great Outdoors is that it reminds you of what life is all about.
Our jobs are usually fast-paced and stressful and once in a while it's good to spend some days away from phone, office, internet, etc. and make do with the bare essentials.
In the evening you lean back, look up into the stars and be grateful for what you are and what you have.
For me it is great to see that these kids can apply all those skills they won during those Troop Night lessons and on Outdoor Activity Days. Throw somebody a match, a tampon, a knife and a bundle of wet wood and tell him to light a fire so he won't freeze and could cook his food and most adults won't know what to do.
The kids start chippin' away, making a fuzz stick and in no time it will look like all they are missing is the witch to burn on their bonfire.
Bloody amazing.
