I got mine last summer when I was 15. I collected a ton of used/new sports equipment and brought it to a juvy in my town. They were so stoked. The lady started crying when I brought all these bags of stuff to her juvy. Definitely a great experience.
I love scouting! We've done some gnarly things! 300 foot rapels, white water rafting, "accidentally putting a half full can of bug spray in the fire and almost burning our campsite down! It's fun! Id recommend finding a troop to join to anyone!
