Boy Scouts - 3

Yuck, boy scouts. I don't think an organization based on "raising" youth should have such close religious affiliation and close minded ideals. Also, the anti-gay policy isn't something I support. Boy Scout opportunities were never something I wanted to be a part of.

Close religious affiliation and close minded ideals? I honestly don't know what you"re talking about, there is a wide variety of religions in scouting, I have seen mormans, Christians, Jews, Catholics, and atheists. As for close minded ideals, that isn't close to what scouting believes in. It is an organization to teaches you life skills? How is that close minded. As for the anti-gay policy, that was recently taken down and gays are fully allowed in scouts as long as they don't preform any "sexual acts" on another scout, which I believe is completely reasonable.

I was in it when I was in first grade I believe.

Was a long time ago, quit because it wasn't really for me. Think I made it to star scout then quit.

tbh I was only in it because we would play basketball afterwards xD

I'm fine with meetings. I like merit badge courses at camp, but not outside of summer camp. New Scouts are sorta annoying since you have to teach them what to do since they were not around when we had the troop guides.

I just hate them on hikes, meetings I can ignore them.

I wish I could go back and join boy scouts, I'd be the bad boy and act like an asshole for no reason.

Most of the time on hikes me and like one or two friends just slow down for a bit so that we can just be behind the group and not have to bother with anyone else. Or is your troop the kind that makes everyone stay together xD

we try to, but we are a backpacking troop so we tend to have bigger hikes and it's difficult to keep everyone together.

Are you in boy scouts KattMan?

Yeah the uniform sucks. When I moved into the US my parents made me go into it. I got my eagle because apparently.it looks good on a resume. But ever since I got my eagle I've never had a thing to do with scouting. Haha I'm not going to give my honest opinion about scouts or getting your eagle because being negative is so.. not positive. So have fun and work hard! Cheers!
