paintballer Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 No offense, but once when doing security at an airshow with Civil Air Patrol (We were a full military uniform, helmet flak jacket and all) these Boy scouts in there short shorts tried marching in formation to show off. I have never laughed so hard in my life. Again no offense, but man, they looked hilarious.
Chris Benvenuto Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 ^ those shorts are no longer used, thank god and now Boy Scouts is something you have to respect again. I seriously need to have a talk with the comissioner or official responsible for allowing that exact peice of clothing into a boy's organization. Â I do admit, I did wear them ONCE. NEVER AGAIN. Â I think after 2004-2005 they banned the things or stop allowing them being in use after 5-10 years.
odene497 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I can remember starting Cub Scouts when I was in around 3rd grade. I worked my way all through that, got into Boy Scouts, and I either made it to First Class or the one after it... Â I quit before heading into high school. It'd be nice to say I made it to Eagle, but I just grew out of wanting to be in it. Â The places we went camping were super awesome though.
astroworldfan1 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Is anybody here going to the 2010 National Jamboree? Â There's a possibility that I'm going. I'm not too sure yet. Â -Tatum I'm on the right, and she's on the left.
Kennyweird Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 EDIT: I went to Seabase last Summer, and I do plan on going with my troop when they go to Philmont. Â Philmont is absolutely EPIC!! You absolutely have to go - it's the best thing, IMO, scouting has to offer. My Philmont money shot.
emily>piers Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I got booted out Girl Guides for being a rebel, my best friend and I just used to muck about. Â I also wore my DMs with the uniform and apparently that wasn't the look they were going for. It was the early 90s, I wore my high tops with everything
nay Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I made it to Senior Girl Scout (I think that is the highest rank)....it wasn't that impressive...all you have to do is be in the right age bracket...and poof...your the highest ranked girl scout. Â Yeah, same here - no qualifications other than being a certain age. I don't think I made it quite as far as Senior Girl Scout. It might have been Junior, but I really can't remember. I was actually just thinking about this because the Girl Scout cookies I ordered arrived this week.
Goliath513 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I made it to First Class, but I dropped out several years later. I then took up Taekwondo and got my Black Belt. At least I have one major accomplishment from an activity.
Yankee cannonball Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I was in cub scouts but only lasted a month. Of the four times I went, all we learned was how to fold an american flag. I've actually thought about joining again. Do you have to start in cub scouts or could I join now?
Yankee cannonball Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 ^No I don't need to start from cub scouts or no I can't join?
coasterdude5 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I made it to Boy Scouts... it wasn't a good experience.
cycamps Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I'm not actually a Boy Scout, but I do belong to Venturing, and I really enjoy it. My crew is pretty active.
astroworldfan1 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 ^No I don't need to start from cub scouts or no I can't join? Â You don't start as a Cub Scout again. Â -Tatum
masterofthematrix91 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 EDIT: I went to Seabase last Summer, and I do plan on going with my troop when they go to Philmont. Â Philmont is absolutely EPIC!! You absolutely have to go - it's the best thing, IMO, scouting has to offer. Â I WANT TO GO BAAACK TO PHILMONT!!!! i love it! did you go over Baldy or The Tooth of Time?? Â I am currently working on my eagle badge and am a Life Scout. Â I'll post my pic from philmont a little later.
Kennyweird Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 did you go over Baldy or The Tooth of Time?? Â I went over The Tooth of Time, not Baldy, although I did camp on top of Mt. Philips in some of the worst weather imaginable. (Hail, freezing rain, 20 degree temperatures, etc.) The horrible weather atop Mt. Phillips. Me atop the Tooth of Time.
pagemaster_b Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I made it to First Class, before I started having problems. Long story. In short, high school and moving to a different troop killed any chances for me reaching Eagle. No regrets, though.
the ghost Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I never did Boy Scouts because I did the church version : Awanas! But I did do TaeKwonDo as a kid and got to black belt, then quit.  You went from awanas to mooning a camera doing a dance that ended up on the internet? Your leader must be so proud  AWANAS is probably the stupidest acronym ever  Approved Workers Are Not Ashamed
Chris Benvenuto Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 ^^^ Well, when I was at Philmont, I camped at Baldy Town and dang around 2am the next we woke up in the middle of a hail/lightning storm. Believe me, it was not fun because one it was loud as hell and two like you the cold weather we experienced wasn't too fun at all either.
Kennyweird Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 I am now an Eagle Scout so sayeth Greater Pittsburgh Council.
megamatt Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Currently a 1st Class. Aiming for Eagle. Troop 22 Yankee Clipper Council.
