>>2556960it sucked ass but I think that was just my troop.
> joined boyscouts with a good amount of outdoors experience> used to own an old 1940s boyscout handbook that had a lot of cool shit ranging from how to use camouflage properly to how to make fresh water fish traps> was expecting cool shit like going innawoods, hanging out with the boys, shooting guns and learning more about nature and such> mfw all we learnt the whole time I was there was how to not get diddled by the scout master and how to memorize stupid pledges> mfw the only innawoods thing we did was a walk on the local bike pathI quit after a good couple of months, we didnt even get to go to summer camp. desu just dont join if you still have a chance, and dont put your kids in either, just buy the 1940s handbook and go by yourself or with friends.
