Thanks for the welcome.

[Bagheera]

Hello,

I registered just a few days ago, after I found this European site by accident.

I’ve been frequenting the US forums like BladeForums, KnifeForums, USN, OSF, Jeff Randalls site etc for a long time and everywhere my name is Bagheera which is the Scouting name given to me when I started in a small Dutch Scouting group as one of the leaders about 8 years ago.
This was kind of by accident as both our kids wanted to join this Scouting group but there was a waiting list for joining as there was a shortage of leaders.
After many years I had to put the brake on Scouting, I could not be 2 days a week active at scouting and work for a living the remaining 5 days.
I was asked to join the Scouting board as a board member and have been doing that since + of course always be available to help out our Scouts.

From origin I’m a Biologist finishing Nymegen University in 1983 , but at that time there was not much work for a Biologist specialized in Ecology and wanting to marry find work and start a family I switched and after an very intense 1.5 year training in Computer sciences I started as Systems Analyst.
Well now almost 20 years later I’m a Senior Systems Engineer for an San Diego based software company.

I love being in nature, playing with fire, knives, axes and guns ;) .

I already have found valuable information on the Forum and hopefully can contribute myself some in the future.

Best Scouting wishes from Holland,

Bagheera

Welcome aboard Piet.
I can vouch for Bagheera's kindness and trustworthyness, as can a lot of people on these forums. There's some nice, almost impossible to find gear in the post heading my way :-D

.well to be honest, one woman, my wife and she wears the pants

Ahh so that's where you're pants went to. :yikes:

:rolmao:

[Bagheera]

Gator,

PB warned me already for you :lol: but to be honest my pants could dress 2 wives, my honey is only 5' 2" and 116 lbs but she handles a 45 like a pro and loves carrying a knife, not to big but it would really hurt wether you wore pants or a kilt :wink:

Best scouting wishes,

Bagheera
