At the weekend we went to the 50th birthday party of one of our Group\u2019s helpers. I\u2019ve known him and most of his family since I was a kid and it doesn\u2019t seem that\u2019s he\u2019s 50!<\/p>\n
All the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts love him, what he doesn\u2019t know about walking, climbing, caving etc isn\u2019t worth knowing and give him an axe and a dead tree on a camp and he\u2019s as happy as Larry (bit of a standing joke that!). <\/p>\n
But that\u2019s the thing, in his and our minds he\u2019s much younger and doesn\u2019t act \u2018old\u2019 (I know 50 isn\u2019t old, but there\u2019s a point here!). He goes out and enjoys life and passes his knowledge and skills on! And that\u2019s got to be a reason to not be old!<\/p>\n
Happy Birthday Don.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
