Last week I saw these seven scouts in full uniforms at the train station. I talked with them a little bit. They told me they were traveling alone (no adults) to Gotemba. I didn't understand what exactly they were doing. I told them I had been a scout in the US when I was young. In Japan it is common to see children walking to school or traveling by train on their own. I like living where it is so safe.
The Japanese are very fond of group activities, uniforms and rules. Scouting fosters many fine qualities and comradeship. Yes, isn't it nice to live in a country where one can feel safe!
Good looking kids, sounds like a fun adventure for them.
