IN YOU GO! A year or two in the life of a scout leader is about the first couple of years that John Hemming-Clark recently spent as a scout leader in Chislehurst, Kent, England at a time of life when some are maybe starting to think about putting their feet up.     His trials and tribulations as he seeks to learn the ropes with only the most essential training to help him, that and his life experiences, are written about in hilarious detail.     Troop meetings, hikes, camps, excursions, his relationship with beavers, cubs and explorers as well as girl guides, leaders, trainers and managers are all included.     Read about    how John became a leader after having been sacked as a scout committee chairman    his first troop meeting with just one scout, until three girls turned up    a camping training weekend when John's past finally caught up with him    the infamous hammock camp when a tsunami appeared out of nowhere    the summer camp when a girl guide welly stick was liberated for the day, only to find out that it wasn't actually what the scouts thought it was    a trip to Bewl Water reservoir when an alternative toilet was discovered    a hike when some scouts took up smoking    a winter camp where John was led very astray    the day Bear Grylls ran over his 'phone    the beavers' Nativity play when one boy stole the show    why one team came last on Monopoly on the Run    a family camp when a cub's parents disgraced themselves    the resuscitation evening when Little Annie came into her own, despite being a dummy    an Outdoor Challenge badge weekend when John went home with only one welly    when the scouts made "non-alcoholic" cocktails with a secret ingredient    the April Fool's Day activity badge that the scouts actually completed    the day the scouts hiked along a sewer    the day John nearly died whilst white water rafting with the devil    the camp where a girl guide won the "best scout" award    the day when a Swedish girl guide and John both had "heart attacks" after a Brown Owl's dinner was bombed    a shopping trip to a reservoir    and much, much more    35 chapters of some of the funniest things that have ever happened in scouting.    If ever you have wondered what really goes on at scouts once the children have been dropped off at what many consider to be an unofficial baby-sitting service, when sitting is the last thing that scouts do, then this book is for you.
