Tonight Welshpool Scouts had a video call with Scouts in Cape Town, South Africa.
They discussed the activities each country and group did, what badges they earned and compared neckers and uniform.
Our scouts learned that Scouts in South Africa are 11-18 years but the older ones 14+ are called senior scouts and work on higher proficiency badges
When talking about some of their plans over the next few weeks the South African Scouts talked about a 12 day hike. This did surprise some Scouts until they realised that in South Africa it is spring going into Summer.
