I got a lot of badges when I was a scout. Didn’t have to use my penis for any of them.
… wait, what? Next are you gonna tell me that the “cocksucking” badge I got from that one scoutmaster is fake?
Maybe.
Come over to this hotel room. Show me what you learned, and I’ll assess your skills. Then I can tell you if it was fake.
They said they didn’t have to use THEIR penis… (I’m so sorry)
Sure, when you were a kid, yeah. They got a badge now for safe cylinder extraction.
Not even the knot tying badge? I was duped!
/s
Obviously you didn’t take the fast track program.
Doesn’t the SecDef have more important things to do right now? Like fight a war no one but his boss wanted?
Hey! Whoa! That’s not true…
…everyone implicated in the Epstein files wanted this war.
Doesn’t the SecDef have more important things to do right now?
More important than thinking about children’s genitals?
He’s in the GOP. So no.
Chatgpt is doing the job now so he can focus on culture wars
On the one hand, yes, but on the other, he doesn’t exactly have the skillset to run any department let alone the DoD(W)
Ah, the SecDef doesn’t actually fight a war. He just supports starting one. And then like all richwhitemen in the USA have done, let a whole bunch of impressionable young people do the fighting and dying for him.
Ask how I know!
As an Eagle Scout, good. They realize that they teach generations of young people how to be good people and stand up when the time calls them to stand up? Do they think we’ll stay quiet if they give into fascists?
I was just considering getting my son into the scouts and this encourages me.
I think your local offerings can be a big factor. I grew up in scouts, loved my experience for the most part.
But talking with other people about their experiences can be a mixed bag. Each troop has its own priorities, the national Scouting organization gives troops a lot of flexibility on how they want to run their operation.
My troop, for example, was huge on outdoor activities. We had monthly camping trips, sometimes more than one a month. We did participate in organized “scouting events” as well with other troops, but that was sort of secondary.
Other troops are big on “scouting achievements” like merit badges, “scouting societies” like Order of the Arrow, medals and honors kinda thing, I felt like that would be a bit of a drag. But to each their own.
vet the troop carefully, but yeah, it’s a good organization.
And listen to your kid if they say it’s not what it looks like. My troop looked totally fine if you asked the Scoutmaster. It turns out it was just his kid and his kid’s best friends who were all assholes. I got beaten up at least once, and eventually got kicked out because I pulled my knife on the Scoutmaster’s kid, because he had pulled his knife first, and literally backed me up against a cliff with it. Dude was a psycho and eventually joined the Army during the big 2009 push (what a shock).
Mom insisted I go every week, it’s not that bad, etc, and then literally had the stones to tell me “you should’ve said something” when I got thrown out.
yeah, i was in a troop with an awesome scoutmaster. who died. the next scoutmaster was okay but he moved. the one after that was an Uncle Touchy that i managed to avoid. my parents refused believe me when i told them there was something going on but they like burying their heads in the sand (they cultists).
That’s it…the Scouts have just declared war on MAGA! Time to bomb the shit out of them! /s
They will all be together at one place at the Jamboree.
OurTroop is open to all!
Eagle Scout here. These asshat politicians need to keep their hands off scouting. It’s an awesome organization that gets kids off the screens and teaches them a bunch of cool, outdoorsy skills. Everybody should be encouraged to participate. Our society needs some fresh air.
Eagle scout here as well. I second this. When I was in scouting it was still boy scouts and I was always a bit bothered by the exclusions. So happy to see that the organization is now inclusive and standing by their beliefs.
Now just to get religion out of scouting…
