Just For Fun, Boy Scouts

[Greasy B]

The local talk radio this morning is making a big deal about some "official decision" being made today regarding allowing gay people in the boy scouts.

The question I have is..... who decides who is "gay" ?

"Are you gay? "

Um, No.

"Ok, you're cleared".

Or how does that work? LOL

It doesn't work, that why this whole debate is absurd.

All scout troops are not created equal. i have been fortunate to be associated with two excellent troops and they were great experiencies for my sons. Scouting is not and never has been about creating the next Bear Gryllis or turning your kids into great hunters and fishermen. Wilderness survival, fishing, and hunting are all parts of a bigger picture. Scouting is an attempt to help create good citizens that have a special love and respect for the outdoors. During the last seven years our troop has gone to Philmont three times, the Boundary Waters twice and we leave later this summer for a week on a Canadian Lake. During that week every scout will learn how to operate a boat or canoe, use fishing equipment, select proper lures, tie on their own tackle, catch multiple species of fish, clean the fish, and cook the fish. Several scouts are already experienced fishermen and they will have the opportunity to LEAD, TEACH, and set an EXAMPLE to the scouts that did not have that dad or uncle that taught them about the outdoors.
