Thale has been involved in Scouting for 11 years, the past two as a group leader. They love being outdoors and doing endurance sports, especially running, cycling and hiking. They’ve played the cello since they were five, so music has always been a big part of their life - you’ll never catch them leaving singing at the campfire early!
