Okay admit it, who was in the boy scouts?

[Dis]

actually I'll include other scouting type youth groups as well like cub scouts.

I was only in the boy scouts for about 6 months. Then I realized it was too much work to get merit badges and such. I didn't want to put up with all that bull****. I just wanted to go to cool places.

Feel free to post stories about your scouting experiences. And any experiences with gay scout leaders as well

I was in the Beavers, which was what they call boy scouts here when they're 5 or 6. Stayed in it for 5-6 months.

I was a whirly-bird.

Beavers, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Ventures.

Yarr. I'm not inept in the outdoors, honest!

[KrazyHorse]

Hmm. Just visited the Beavers website. Never realised they were such a bunch of God-botherers.

It was actually fun to be in Scouting in Calgary, we used to go on so many kickass camps in the Rockies.

I have especially fond memories of all the games we'd play when it was pitch black in the middle of the forests and fields.

shouldn't beavers be the girls version of scouts?

[Asher]

I thought Brownies should be upgraded to Cupcakes.

EDIT: and yes, I was thinking of making this joke myself...

I have no idea what the brownies did. I just kinda sorta remember the name as a kid. I guess they baked brownies and such. They were for girls obviously, but I don't think they did anything useful. Of course little girls rarely do anything useful .

Even the girl scouts rarely went scouting I think. I'm sure they never slept on the ground like us men- I mean boys did. They probably had cabins and such.

All I've done is buy Girl Scout cookies.

Boy Scouts always seemed like it required too much motivation and activity.

I was in the Boy Scouts for a good 6 years, and I'm a proud Eagle Scout, too.

Not I, LTEC

Damnit, ixnay, why do you always have to be so right? Can't you say you axe murdered someone or something!? You're raising the bar way too high.
