What the hell sort of schools did you lot go to? The only compulsory thing in my school was "going-to-class" and "getting-an-education".
Agreed! We did scouts, as the "cadet types" were all a bit odd and took it all far too seriously, though they were some sort of higher class of human. In scouts we did a lot of volunteering, a lot of camping, a lot of drinking, some rifle shooting, some climbing, plenty of beastings and assault courses, no flying, but plenty of outdoor fun. So much fun we went on to ventures, where it was pretty much more of the same but with even less supervision. I also got carried away and did gold D of E, then expedition leadership to teach D of E
