The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Scouting has been a part of American culture for a long time. Like a million years or so. Scouting helps boys develop into young men, and while the Boy Scouts get most of the glory, it all starts with Cub Scouts.
The Cub Scouts serve many purposes. Their primary mission is to ingrain young boys with a basic moral compass. They also aim to increase the sociability of these children and to develop their sense of curiosity and wonder. Children are brought together to socialize in a safe, supervized, moral environment where activities ranging from basketball to ice skating to boating are available to take part in.
The positive effects scouting has on boys and young men are readily apparent. Scouts do better in school, are less likely to get in trouble with the law, and have an 80% lower rate of homosexuality than non-scouts.

I was a cub scout, I remember becoming a 'second sixer' then being forced off my ivory tower when I kicked a football into some kids face. It was hideously boring.

I was a 'sixer' and I had a retarded kid in my six who I had to get to stand still everytime we lined up in our groups.

A bunch of my friends were scouts. From what I hear from them, most of their time was spent lighting things on fire, except for one of them. His time was spent watching them light things on fire and wringing his hands.
I was in the boy scouts and then the mormons took it over so i quit
This is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. The mormons don't own the Boy Scouts. Different local chapters are run by different organizations.

No they have a pretty big hand in it along with the Roman Catholic Church
Which part of "pretty big hand" means took over?
I live in the heart of where the "mormons" are, and I know of at least 4 local troops run by the baptist church, one run by the local methodist church.
And what does "lol Utah" have to do with anything?
My scout troop was awesome though. A bunch of delinquents, we were frequently asked not to come back to various camp sites on the east coast. We had one kid who couldn't stop stealing cars. He taught us all how to smoke weed.
Also, I stabbed someone with a knife at in a fight at a scout camp and wasn't kicked out.
I did cubscouts for years and did boy scouts for about a year and a half. I pretty much stayed a tenderfoot, because I couldn't be bothered to do the merit badge stuff. The guys in my troop were hella cool dudes. I just liked going out with cool dudes in the woods, peeing on each other's tents as they slept and running into a freezing cold lake naked. Then the dude in charge quit and was replaced by a tool who was all about merit badges and ZOMG EAGLE SCOUTS and thats when I quit.

this statstic is so sad
I think it should read that the scouts have an 80% higher rate of suppressed homosexuality

we did dick all, and it was really just supervised playtime with uniforms. Also a camping trip or two.
EDIT: But I realise that not all of the chapters are like that, so yes, support anyway.
I don't get good cable TV. I get "so shitty that if you cancel we won't even bother going out there to disconnect it" Broadcast Basic.
not that I give a fuck; nothing good on TV anyway.
I hated my fellow webelos so much
they reported me for calling a kid from another troop an "ugly mug", and were incurable racists
Dude that shit was pretty fucking sweet.
Not the one that wear diapers.
You know, I mean children that are furrys.
orly
Why did you feel the need to point this out?
From all indications, this doesn't seem to be a joke thread and if it isn't, this wasn't neccessary.
his dad forced him to do something he didnt want to do for 10 years
i was always glad i wasnt him
The fuck, Geek? Do you have a soft spot for Cub Scouts or something
The thing about Bogey at the end of the post obviously means it's a joke. Christ, man.
tang clan ain't nothin to fuck with
I would dig holes in front of the eagle scout's tents and they would always trip in them.
now i can barely touch my toes
and look what happened
Ahahaha, those fuckers
My girlfriend's father was an eagle scout, however. So I can never say this out loud

Never finished my Eagle project.

i did every level of cub scouts in those few months and progressed directly onto boy scouts
then i quit when they wanted me to actually do stuff
