Scout since when?
 I've been a scout since I was 5.  
I was a beaver in the VISG 88 and
I am a part of the group since then.
What are your strengths?
Being social, empathic and creative.
I also love organizing and planning.
Why you are doing that?
I am a scout because I grew up with the organization and
couldn't imagine a life without scouting.
I especially enjoy the campfires,
general camping experiences and the adventurous fun with the group.

Scout since when?

I've been a scout since I was 7 (in 1996). 

I started as cub in my home town group Hollabrunn till I finished with the Ranger/Rover level. After that I started leading cubs and brownies in my home group as well during my study in St. Pölten.

With roughly a 10 year break due to work

I returned as a leader in 2019 at the VISG 88.

What are your strengths?
Being an all-rounder. There are no problems and bad weather - it's just a nice facet for anyone's "work-life".

Why you are doing that?
My family does have a long bond to scouting and it started a passion in myself as well. I like being in the nature (although it is the Vienna city "jungle") but doing stuff outdoors.

It is the feeling you get when you see that kids grow into scouting and they discover the adventurousness  what they can reach when they work in a peer group together
