these groups should be encouraged more and supported by the government because it was always fun to go to once a week, to meet your mates and occasionally meet new friends, or see the sister of one of your mates who you really fancied and would he give her a message...
and the pride to polish your badges or work towards your next level and it just promoted fun & enthusiasm in kids who now just sit at home and play stupid games which take hours and hours and hours... they always have to beat the high score...
