The finding of delinquency against the appellant, a juvenile, is reversed and remanded for a new trial because the record fails to show an adequate offer of counsel at the adjudicatory hearing or an intelligent and understanding waiver as required by Florida Rule of Juvenile Procedure 8.290(d)(2). See R.V.P. v. State, 395 So.2d 291 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981).
