    Eagle Scout reporting in. Can still recite the entire Boy Scout pledge and oath because it's branded into my head like a virus. Boy Scouts was great to hang with friends in the woods, but the whole leaders raping kids thing and plavating the giant Mormon contingent was uuuhhhh not great.

      Our troop was very very traditional so I feel you, we practiced the flag ceremony all the time which was annoying and we had to wear the full uniform socks pants belts fingernails clean hair combed membership card on hand everything. The nice thing was because they were so strict they trusted us so they kinda just let us fuck off into the woods. Anyway we need a commie scouts

        Boy Scouts is a great experience that I wish every kid could have. Make it nongendered, have leaders that don't rape people, and instill communist values is the serious dream. Camping is fantastic and gives kids a sense of much needed independence.
