In You Go: A Year or Two in the Life of a Scout Leader - Softcover

Dragged into scouting as a result of his son having no scout leader locally, John Hemming-Clark soon found that, far from being dead on its legs, scouting was in robust good health with over one hundred years of resource behind it.
 
Soon his scout section was full up and John found himself a first-hand witness to what the youngsters of today get up to, what they say and what they do, whether it be at troop meeting, camp, hike or other scouting activity.
 
At times hilarious and at others touching, John recounts episodes of not only scouts at play, but also leaders, trainers, helpers and the other scout sections as well as the girl guides that John's scouts came across from time to time, with insights from his past that brought him into scouting at a time when most are thinking of putting their feet up.
 
Like many scout leaders John works full time. He lives with his family in Kent.
 
In his first year as a scout leader he won his scout county's Arrowhead Award for New Volunteer of the Year in Chislehurst District, England.
 
Scouting continues to occupy much of his spare time.
