    What was the name of the scout leader that used to make you play bury the pickle? It's okay pup. We at HH are here for you :smile:

    ooh shit, don't want to offend anyone, but if I did fuck off, be a man and take it. I'm Lutheran, hammer me all you want. Bring it on I love it

    I wasn't on this board very often until June of 2013. Puppy was more careful and tactful back then. Interesting.

    Forget worrying about gays in Scouts. It's the oblivious parents of shitty little bastards in the troop you should worry about. For most kids and their helicopter parents, it's all about having Scouting on the academic resume for community service chops. Most don't know enough to survive a night in the woods without experienced adults around, even though they're all badged-up like South American Dictators. Lots of fraud, bullying and social promotion. Few can tie a functioning knot, boil water at altitude or build a campfire without white gas. Too many poorly behaved, sneaky little fucks you do not want around your kid. Zero regrets leaving it behind.

    Disagree....Overall. There are some sneaky lil bastards in scouts but it is not the majority. Part of this problem could be the pussification of the Scouts. The whole reason for the scouts is to build MEN. Both physically, mentally and morally. When one part gets marginalized it affects the whole process. That being said I am sorry that you and yours had a bad experience with the scouts. That is not what it was meant to be.

    @Ice_Holmvik: It's changed a lot. Consider the demo of the parents it operates within today. All the best REI equipment, but nobody's got the initiative to read the instructions or set up the tent in the basement before heading out into the wind and rain. And give up their phones? Fuck No! They'll die without them.

    Posers. Or what we used to call "Gapers" on the ski slopes back in the day. Best, unscratched equipment and clothes, but couldn't ski the moguls to save their life.

    And, in a "boy led troop" environment, it only takes one or two bad apples to spoil the barrel. And that went on way too long. No need to apologize, Ice. We had some good times, but not enough to make it worth the sacrifice anymore.

    And you can't discipline anyone's kid today, or their lousy parents will throw a shit-fit. Fuck it. I quit along with my son and haven't regretted it once.

    Great points TB. It looks like the Scouts were lost somewhere in the late 90's or early 2000's. Maybe about the time that men were praised for being metrosexuals. My own experiences with the Scouts was having a troop leader that paid my dues when my family could not afford them and making us camp in water-inviting pup tents during heavy down pours. It was a great learning experience for me. I would like to believe that spirit still lives on in modern day Boy Scouts.

    Truthfully, @Ice_Holmvik: If it weren't for the crusty old farts who really knew their stuff, we'd have bailed earlier. The old troop leaders great at the meetings, but they all quit going on hikes after their kids graduated out. So, we were stuck with neutered dads and their sniveling, spoiled kids one trip too often, and that was it.

    Of course Spooge is a big supporter of the Boy Scouts.
