>>2412064Was a cub scout, then a weeblo, then a boyscout. Made it to life before dropping out due to national bullshit. Kind of regret it, honestly I just needed to do my eagle project and I would have something to brag about for the rest of my life. But with the current state of scouting and the political climate, I wouldnt touch that shit with a 10 foot pole, nor would I let any family member participate in it blindly. Scouting is something that requires a high-trust community, and as a society we generally don't have that anymore.
Cub and boyscoutting was really fun, weeblo was kinda boring. We had to baby sit this crippled retarded kid during weablos and basically the whole troop existed so this retard could have friends. In hindsight, how much you can enjoy scouting is going to depend on troop location and troop makeup. When I was a cubscout, the troop was set in an army base, and all the kids were basically officer's children and we all had the same mindset. weeablos was civilian and was full of civvy political bullshit, lots of 'be nice, be respectful to people who dont deserve it, no you cant do that its dangerous'. By the time I was old enough for boyscouts my family had moved and the nearest troop was in a marine base full of middle to upper class government worker kids and soldier's kids. It was nice to be around people who were on the same wave length.
You definetly shouldnt just join any troop in any random place, make sure you vet that shit first. It can mean the difference between your son learning how to do real shit from a soldier, or being forced to baby sit a literal retard because the parents didnt have the courage to abort their mishappened offspring. Yeah I know scouts shouldnt be "mean" like that, it's not the cripple's fault. But you can't really go camping and do fun shit if everyone's attention is on the malformed midget with 1 hand who isn't even smart enough to dress himself. It's unfair to make other children deal with that shit.
