\n <\/i> About <\/h4>

From player to creator..<\/span><\/h2>\n <\/div>\n

As an only child, I've never stopped telling myself adventures, creating scenarios and playing games. Scouting taught me a lot of important values, but above all the value of understanding others. During my scouting career, my leaders always worked hard to create life-size games for us. It's now been my turn to entertain the younger ones for 5 years. I try to pass on what I've been taught to the younger scouts. I create activities that entertain them and my passion for creating games goes far beyond that.<\/p><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
