How many of all us depraved and lecherous  women and men were involved in Scouting when young? I'll start with admitting that I had a lot of fun and went through to Eagle Scout. In fact, I still have my scout manual from 1944.  A scout is  trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous,kind, obedient,cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. As a monger, I only have to strike out the thrifty and reverent parts.
I haven't payed much attention to scouting for the last 10 or so years but their stand on gays and lesbians turned me off.

for eating all the Brownies.

(And yes, that's an old one, but it seemed so apropos.  How often does a post about Scouting ever get posted on here?)

I doubt that it ever has. But, I imagine some of the older guys were in scouting.

END OF MESSAGE

ok so just when I thought all of the new topics on this board had been exhausted you came up with another!
BTW I didn't make it past cub scouts

Now, I'm earning my beaver badge.

And attended the 50th anniversary Jamboree in Colorado Springs in 1960. Except for some occasional songs around the campfire ( "bang, bang Lucy" somehow sticks in my mind), I didn't even know that girls existed and certainly had no idea what all the banging was about! I've since learned!

Committee Chair for those years too
Loved allof the sports camping hiking

... but a Scout leader for 15 years.  I enjoyed it, but after the BSA decision ala "if you're gay/lesbian, the moment you turn 18 you're no longer fit for Scouting" I decided to donate my time and money elsewhere.

You're correct coopper80, I'm scouting right now lol

I lost my respect for BSA at the same time.

At the age of 13, I learned to jack off at scout camp. I have not stopped in the 55 years since that summer. I won the contest for the longest shot!  Lots of good things that I learned as a Boy Scout. Read my first fuck story on a bus to camp

I made it to Bear Scout. And of course we used to say:

On my honor I will do my best,
To help the Girl Scouts get undressed.
