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.

honestly

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.

You definitely don't want to use a multitool knife in a survival environment because it loosens the screws keeping those tools from swiveling too easily.

That's how you stab yourself in the hand with a screwdriver.

Seriously.

Anyone up for VC?

no

the strongarm has a glass-reinforced polymer sheath

Hell, at this point, I'm even okay with gay scout leaders if they went back to all-boys.

Chicken butt

Oh, that too.

As long as they're bears and not otters. :3

Dude, someone should get ex-Marine DIs in that girl's scout chapter.

Really fuck her up.

That made me gag.

This is not the new army I was promised.

wat

one of the adult leaders in my BS troop

she was in the army (I think)

might have been another branch

I can't remember if it was English or American, though.
