Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Graham,
        I have been looking for penpals in the uk.  If one of your scouts
would like to become penpals with me that would be great.
        Let me tell you about my self.  I have been in scouting for 8 years
now, and I found that it was fun, and help me to lean many things that I
could have missed out on in the future.  I have just obtained the rank of
Eagle Scout(Equivelant to Queen Scout), and I found that I have have had a
great experance in scouting, and I plan to go on to explore scouts.  I have
been very active in computers, I have myt own web page out if you  would like
to see it {http://www.studenttoplinks.com/hp/auser/scott.htm}.  I have also
been compeating aginst the other states for the best web page, its not yet
out their but it will be soon, it includes quick time videos, real time
audios, and projects that you can do for the class.  Its topic is light.  I
have included frames so it will be a good one.  My first one (the above
address) was my first one so I have to do more work on it and include all
those goodies.
I am going to a Senior High School, and I am 15 years of age.  Thats about
t.
Well get back to me, expect delays on e-mail because of me at meeting and
family vacation. {E-mail mpatters@scs.unr.edu}
        Thanks,
        Scott patterson

assistant: Hello All,
Let me introduce myself;
I'm Jan Tiri, almost 20 years old and I'm leader (that's what they call it in
Belgium) of the youngest.
We have different groups in our scouts;
- 'Kapoenen'    :  7- 8 years
- 'Welpen'      :  9-11 years
- 'Jonggivers'  : 12-14 years
- 'Givers'      : 15-17 years
- 'Voortrekkers':    18 year
- 'Leiders'     : 19-.. years
Every year we have a theme: this year it will be 'Tuur in de natuur' (search
in the nature')
So, that was a short presentation of how we work here in Belgium. I would
ike
to have some reactions, so I can compare the difference between the
ountries.
You can also visit our homepage (http://www.dma.be/p/bewoner/frassati) and
leave some mail there ! (sorry, but for the moment the homepage is in dutch
only !)
Friendly greetings from Belgium !

Definitely! Thanks for the help! Yes, I've gone camping. In Girl Scouts,
as a matter of fact. We went on a two-day twenty-mile hike, which ended
up being fifteen miles on the first day (because we got lost and had to
backtrack), and camped overnight, and my parents didn't think I'd make
it, but I did (and earned the badge for it, which was too cool!), and
what is a Scout File? I earned a few badges, but I don't remember what
they were... It's been a long while (I am thirty four, if that gives you
any idea of how long it's been since I've been a girl scout...). But I
do remember that scouting was about learning things and enjoying what
you learned, and being proud of your accomplishments, no matter what
they were... Is it still the same? (:

assistant: /\/\elissa,
I am into Boy Scouts, here in ]-[ouston Texas of Sam Houston Area Councile,
the 2nd largest Council in the USA. Each year in December we have a "Scout
Fair" at the Astro Hall. About 75,000 Scouts come from all over to put on
something for the Scouts to do that day. I put up this BBS for Scouts,
becouse I thought there was a need to do so. It is a Free service to all, and
I take it to the Scout Fair so all that come by my booth can see it in
action.
Are you into Scouts now?
Can you use some messages to tell us about your time with the Girl Scouts?
What the Scout Echo's need is some input about Girl Scouting. Do you know
someone that is in Girl Scouts?
I am 49 now and still into Scouts, I was not a Scout when I was a boy. But my
oldes son is a Eagle Scout, and my other son is working on his now. My girls
are into Boy Scouts and thay like it.
