I'm trying to get a badge and I need some people to tell me about scouting in their countries- how does it look, what do you do and how is it different from Poland's scouting. Be prepared to be asked questions and you can ask me as well!

In Poland there are:
Zuchy: 6-9
Harcerze: 10-13
Harcerze starsi: 13-16
Wędrownicy: 16-21

If you're older you become "senior". If you're 16 you can also become Instruktor. It's usually for people who want to be leaders of their own scouts group in the future or just want to organise something for others. You have to complete special courses and several tasks that generally include organising something for younger scouts. There are three types of "Instruktor":
Przewodnik- 16+
Podharcmistrz- 18+
Harcmistrz- 21+
And you have to be the previous one to become another (If I want to become Podharcmistrz, I have to become Przewodnik first)

Would you mind If I talk to each of you on pv? I don't want to skip any person and their country and I'm afraid on this group it's more likely to happen jdncjd
