Boy Scouts used to be a thing.
You went camping....Pinewood Derbies, you learned all kinds of skills in Scouts like how to make fire, heat water, pitch a tent, and find water and food. Scary stories around a campfire were awesome.

It's where the concept of finding a really good stick when hiking came from.

Now it's kinda a scary activity to send your kids. Pedophiles and lesbians infiltrated it constantly. Kids were not taught self reliance and overcoming obstacles in favor of how to be sexualized and compliant with adult demands. Being a winner by simply participating and being a part of a group was forgotten in favor of only winning mattered and everyone else was a loser....which meant that most people (including you) are losers.

Hegseth and the DoW are looking to change this radically.....

 
When I was a kid I was too cool to be a Boy Scout. However, there was a troop that met a little ways from my house on afternoons after school. There was a particular kid that attended that was a favorite for me and a buddy to pick on. He had to walk by my house to get to the weekly meetings, and then back by my house to go home. It was probably a 20-25 minute walk for him each way. He, of course, was wearing his Scouts uniform. When he would leave Scouts to walk home, me and a buddy would meet him and bully him on his entire walk home, relentlessly. It was brutal! The poor kid probably still has nightmares about it today. Eventually, his mom started driving him to and from Scouts.

There is no point to this. It is just that every time I think of Scouts, I think about this kid and mercilessly bullying him. Of course I regret doing it today. It was absolutely horrible, and I raised my son to not be a bully. But back then, in the 1970s, times were different. You either got bullied or you fought back. If you fought back and got your butt kicked, then you kept getting bullied. I think it is probably best that times have changed. Life is too short to lose any of it to fear and dread.
 
I got this twitter post from a current BOY SCOUT TROOP.
Let's not have this happen anymore. Let's get back to original programming.

What happened to the uniforms?? Is it just "wear whatever you want" now?

BTW, I don't have a problem with letting girls do this. The Girl Scouts is a shitty organization, and if girls want to learn actual skills vs. selling cookies so the organization can donate to Planned Parenthood, Boy Scouts is their only option.

I can see you being a toady. ;)

 
My son's Cub Scout leader was hammered at every den meeting. Really pissed me off.

When one kid was giving his speech about the American flag to earn a merit badge, the den leader was holding the flag and he was so drunk he kept pitching forward and the flag kept touching the ground.

As a vet, I informed him it is required to burn the flag when that happens.

His wife was co-leader and her cheeks were flaming red with embarrassment during the entire ceremony.

The dude later had his ponytail ripped from his skull at work when he got too close to some machinery.

Why didn't you rip him a new one? Or at least report him?

Weak men like you are the reason other weak men like that one can get away with shit like that.

You should have punched him in the face, turned to kids and said, "This is what happens when you do not respect the flag!"

Boy Scouts are also one of the few groups that are officially authorized to respectfully burn an American flag when it is time to retire it when it has succumbed to the elements, age or wear.

Evil flourishes when good men do nothing.

I'm not saying that you had time or opportunity to do this role. But likely someone did but chose not to.
