It' not the VGS you need to worry about it's the ATC in general

My grandsons squadron is in danger of closure because of a lack of adult staff, a problem common throughout the corps and indeed nearly all other youth movements. As a correspondent for local newspaper I lost track of the times I reported on the closure of scout and guide troops for the same reason. Great to have some muted form of GVS activity but they may well find themselves whistling dixie the supply of cadet blood drains away. Cadet recruitment isn't an issue grandson has seen his unit double in size. Covid of course has strangled nearly all activity. He was lucky to have his first glider AEF a week before shutdown
