Anthony Barsic, 16, from Iowa, takes a break from his Pfadfinder activities
One of the things that has made my stay in Germany enjoyable is the fun I've had with »Pfadfinder,« the German scouting troupe. Pfadfinder isn't separated by gender, but is more like a combination of Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. They make everybody welcome. When I walked into my first meeting, I was instantly treated like I belonged there. The group is very active, organizing benefits, singing Christmas carols door-to-door and cleaning out birdhouses in the forest to prepare for the spring's new nest. In early fall, we organized a »Lager« weekend, where 20 of us stuffed sleeping bags, tents and food into huge backpacks and set out for a weekend of hiking. Making friends through Pfadfinder is something all exchange students should try.
