Dear Editor,
Scouts camped recently near our house. Everything was clean, children were clearly happy, enjoying themselves, learning about themselves. Leaders clearly gave up a week (of holidays). Everything was perfect. Well done.
Perhaps scouts are part of the answer to children/young people addicted to iPads, to the lack of exercise (obesity) and, in some cases, to poor social skills and education attainment.
Congratulations also to those, mostly expats, who worked so hard and willingly to support firefighters at Vale da Telha.
