Scouting is for everyone!!!But let's start from the beginning...
Baden-Powell,the man who started this organisation,returned to England a national hero, after defending the town of Mafeking (Mafikeng as it is now spelled) for seven months from the besieging Boer troops, the first real British triumph in the Boer War. When he returned to England, he discovered that many boys and young men were avidly reading his book Aids to Scouting. This book was intended as a military training manual, teaching soldiers techniques such as observation, tracking, initiative... When he retired in 1907,when he was 50 years old,he was asked to help to a program for boys,that after a while became a book"Scouting for boys".He decided to make a camp in Brownsea,the first scout camp.The number of the children that took part in this camp was 24.After this BP was sure that many kids would like being scouts.So scouting spread everywhere in the world and it now exists in many countries.... Athanasios Lefkaditis brought scouting in Greece in 1910.He got the idea when he asked a little scout in England what is a scout...The boy answered that a scout is someone that wants to do a good will every day.He liked this answer a lot,and so he made the first scouts team in High school Makri in Athens!!!!
Do you like swimming in clear blue seas or playing on beaches with your friends or even better do you like sunbathing?Then the perfect place for you is Greece!As you may have heard Greece is known for its cosmopolitan islands.The most popular of them is Mykonos!There are also Kefallonia and Lefkada where a Hollywood movie was filmed!! Of course in Greece you can have any kind of holidays.So there are traditional villages for those that want to see Greece as it was before a century!Some of them are Metsovo,Kastoria and Florina!In some of these you can stay in hotels that were houses!!! You can also visit ancient places that still exist like Ancient Olympia,where Ancient Athenians participated in the Olympic games! AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED GREECE IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR ALL KINDS OF HOLIDAYS!!!!
SNOW..SNOW..SNOW..SNOW..SNOW..SNOW..SNOW.. Before an hour the sun was shining and now ...(as you see in the pictures)it's snowing for the second time this month...
I really like snow!It reminds me of the usual fairy tale where all the members of the family sit around the fireplace and outside it's snowing.Well,these don't happen nowadays often so it remains a thought...Another reason I like snow is because I enjoy making snowmen and through snowballs to my sister or my cousin(whoever plays with me)!Lastly and more important for all children(everyone will agree with me) is that in case that it is still snowing very much tomorrow morning we won't go to school..and we are free to watch TV,play with the snow and do whatever we like..Isn't it wonderful???
