A Scout is someone who lives life to the max, enjoying the outdoors, trying new things and meeting new people from all over the world.

Everything! Glacier walking, Rock climbing, kayaking, zorbing - almost anything you can think of.

Being a Scout has taught me how to live. I have gained lots of self confidence, social and life skills that have set me in a good stead for the future.

Joining the Scouts would be the best decision someone will ever make.

Next up we have some Poetry from a Durban Writer Timothy Sparks

The Sea of Tranquility

The still pencil-drawn lake of the sea,
Follows a line around Venus
In the hours, one moons' solitary
Angle in perfect alignment its genus

The beauty that waxes her eyes
A flame naked, but resolved:
The single, matchless candle of time lies
Caressed, swept up and dissolved.
