#explorer scouts

having a normal one on the explorer group chat today

So let’s have a little Girl Scout and Girl Guiding love! If you have photos of girls doing scouting or guiding activities, doesn’t matter if they’re with boys or not, please submit them to us!

You may have heard that one of our own was killed in London this weekend, a 17 year old Newham Explorer Scout, Jodie Chesney.

Thanks @mymusicalcat for tagging me! I didn't really have time earlier, so I'm replying a bit late...

1. Are you named after someone?

Nope, I am not. My name isn't traditional, so it has no family history. I know other people with my name, but it's spelled differently.

2. When's the last time you cried?

I suppose Thursday, I was on the verge of crying. When I feel corned or like I am treated in a unfair way. I'm also that person who cries when someone else does, that certainly increases my cry count...

3. Do you want/have kids?

No clue. I think I'm bisexual, that makes the situation a bit more complicated. I like kids when they start talking and it makes sense, but having them around for a longer time sounds very tiring. While volunteering as scouts leader, I deal with 5-7 year olds, but they go home after 2 hours :P

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Yup!

5. What do people first notice about you?

Probably my enthusiasm, depending on where they meet me: I'm very enthusiastic in band and scouting, but a lot less in school.

6. What is your eye colour?

Green!

7. Scary movie or happy ending?

I'm already happy with a closed ending! It doesn't have to be a happy ending, but it needs to really make the story complete.

8. Any special talent?

I can have really creative ideas, but it's not really that special of a talent. Oh, I do play multiple instruments, that amazes people sometimes!

9. What is the last thing you dreamt of?

I always forget that, but I dreamt about my upcoming scouts weekend recently.

10. What are your hobbies?

Music and scouting! I love them both equally, but in a different way. Scouting is amazing because the people are so sweet, and camping is lovely too. I can spend way more time playing music, and I like performing too! Practicing is a struggle, but at least I can struggle at home, which is harder regarding scouting. Recently, I discovered stargazing, I don't have a clue what I'm doing, but I'm having a blast doing it :)

11. Do you have pets?

Yup, I have a cat!

12. What sports have you/ did you play?

I played korfball, dancing, judo and a thing where we did a lot of sports in a short time! I longboard occasionally, and I like hiking!

13. How tall are you?

Around 175 centimetres (for the Americans: tall for a girl)!

14. Favourite subject in school?

Probably biology or geography! I also like maths, if I understand it at least!

15. Dream job?

Something that makes people happy! I won't be going to college for music, but doing some gigs on the side looks amazing! I will be doing a liberal arts and sciences programme focused on food, just a job in my field would be great :)
