I started when I was 9 years in my town, I learned the principal basis about what is a scout. Then I moved to another group in another town because my original group closed for administration problems. My groups was the number 135 in a little town calling Piedades, When I stared at these group all was different because my routine in the first group was competitive and it was all about that you have to win every time and the new group was more experienced, they include motivation, leadership, it was about that if you know how can you make something …show more content…
I made I lot of mistakes, I always have the most difficult group, people heating each other, or fighting, or well is easier if you have some partner with experience and he can help to someone who is new, but my team was just me and a lot of new people, so you can imagine who had the slowest group most of the time.
My leaders are my biggest inspiration, they are always helping and trying to develop some actions and behaviors in young people, some years passed and I learnt a lot of things, and I saw some other teams and they were always perfect, and all the partners are including in the boy scout topic some years before, but I think sometimes when the things are harder you learn more than when you
