>>2007207Shit anon that sucks I had a much better experience so I guess its all on the troop.
>Rural troop >Meetings held at the church >Run by three ex infantry dudes >Really cool guys that knew a lot about outdoorsmanship>Have weekly PT training as well as merit badge Mondays where they or someone they brought in came to teach valuable skills then mark it off as a merit badge. >had a leadership structure among the scouts themselves with roles that actually mattered. For example if the quartermaster or the quartermasters assistant fucked up and didnt bring the troops shit we were all fucked. >every two weeks we go on some sort of /out/ trip in the UP or Huron national forest >every summer have a two week trip somewhere called high adventure and went to Paul Bunyan summer camp >one troop lead was an FFl and had a range in his backyard >thought us gun safety and marksmanship as well as let us shoot his full autos >Had troop hunting trips >Got eagle Only person that had a problem with the troop was some soccer mom whose retarded son couldn't keep up with the PT and trips and called the leaders Fascists all the time. Boy scouts was some of the best times I had in my life and I still look back on it fondly. My old troop got shut down in 2012 because one of the leaders died of a heart attack and the other died the same year in a car accident.
