\"clip_image002\"<\/span>After sending a load of emails of to various people in my Group and the District I thought how much easier it is to communicate today. I can email any documents to my Leaders that they may need in a fraction of a second. I can also send information to multiple people in one go. Isn\u2019t it great?<\/p>\n

Also typing letters is so much easier, as I type it into Word, check the spelling(!) and send it to my printer. I can remember Dad typing letters to Cub parents when I was a kid and he’d use his typewriter and loads of carbon paper. Luckily he was good at typing, spelling and had a good idea of what he was going to type beforehand \u2013 unlike me!<\/p>\n

The great thing is I can email my old Scout Leader when he is working at the South Pole on his telescope, all my other friends around the world, all my Group\u2019s Leaders and Carol when I\u2019m on my PC upstairs and she\u2019s watching the TV downstairs!<\/p>\n

However, I have to remember I can\u2019t just rely on email. Some of our Leaders don\u2019t have it and some don\u2019t check it as often as others (unlike me as I\u2019m on my PC at work all the time and the PC at home is rarely off). We would love to be able to send letters home to parents by email and then they don\u2019t get lost or forgotten about.<\/p>\n

So we still have to actually talk to each other, be it in person or by phone and sometimes that\u2019s the best way to communicate. The written word sometimes cannot convey the meaning of a sentence the way saying it can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
