I'm not
I'm scout
So I don’t have to deal with this dumb shit
I really didn't like cub scouts
oh god
periods
huh
but I didn't like cub scouts
so I didn't join boy scouts
and when I was introduced to it
I was old enough I wouldn't make significant progress before I aged out
because of the rank time requirements
so I went "fuck it"
I would prefer the Boy Scouts suddenly becoming Basic Combat Training Scouts.
Where if you fall out, you go home.
"I'm just gonna have fun, not go for all the rank stuff"
hence the awesome food and whatnot we made
honestly, I've probably done all the stuff required to get to at least tenderfoot/second class by now
just haven't bothered with the paperwork
I think I just got the book because we didn't have a Scouts where I lived, so my dad and I did a kind of... non-Boy Scout Scouting? I dunno.
it's more fun that way
they've got a ton of silly rules
At this point, the Dangerous Book For Boys is your only option for scouting.
hell, my BS council banned fixed-blade knives
technically
wtf
yeah
That's required survival.
If they're scouts, they should already be aware of knife safety.
yeah
well
young scouts
also
the main concern is sheaths
Even more wtf
for example, the leather ones could theoretically break
and then you'd get stabbed
or something?
looking into the documents now
So can the multi-tool or folding knives. Even more easily in a wild survival environment.
