For three years, I was a troop leader of the age group 11-15, two years of which I was the team leader for the team of troop leaders. Every Saturday, I'd guide an enthusiastic group of ±25 scouts.

Of course we wanted to provide the scouts with a fun afternoon every Saturday, but we also wanted to help them develop valuable skills like cooperation and social skills. Naturally, I've also organised a variety of camps.
