About half of the troop is made up of Chinese or Chinese-American scouts and their parents seem neither very outdoorsy nor very confident with the English language.

On the plus side, the supplies should be covered

To me it seemed like going from Webelos (sp) to Boy Scouts was when stuff started getting real weird.

 

[Drifter]

Flight was delayed 3.5 hours making my trip pointless and the ####### sellers picked another offer over ours. Not a great start to the day. May get drunk

Plus they are probably good at the Pinewood derby!

So tomorrow night I get the pleasure of going to Boy Scouts of America Outdoor Leadership Training. This will entail me spending roughly 24 hours camping with a bunch of grown men probable weirdos and receiving instruction on doing Boy Scout things, so that we may give instruction on same to the kids in our troop.

I am a reluctant participant in all this. While I think a lot of what the BSA emphasizes is great stuff, there is also a lot of it that I am not cool with (e.g. the religious underpinnings, anti-gay stance, etc.). But both of my step-sons are involved in the troop and there aren't enough parent volunteers. About half of the troop is made up of Chinese or Chinese-American scouts and their parents seem neither very outdoorsy nor very confident with the English language. The former Scout-master had to resign because of allegations of child molestation not related to the Boy Scouts. I actually suspect he is innocent, based on some oddities about the accusations, but clearly he can't be involved with the troop any more. So they need help and I volunteered.

Now I kind of wish I hadn't. I don't know much about camping, so I might actually learn something on this trip, but it is March in Washington and it is probably going to be rainy and wet out in the woods. And one of the other two guys from our troop that is going on this training (he is actually the new Scoutmaster) is the weirdest, Aspbergers-y MFer I have ever met. If it turns out down the line that he is a serial killer, I won't be the least bit surprised.

So this is going to be interesting. And probably tedious too.

SUPPLIES!

Things got weird in the Cub Scouts when they made us wear our uniform pants backwards with the fly unzipped.

It wasn't weird when they made you wear the uniform frontwards with the fly unzipped?

I must be stupid, but I don't really get this reference.

If you said "don't let them drive any carpools" or "casino night should kill as a fund-raiser" I would have understood. Or any of various references to math, railroads or laundry.

WTF? I don't want Target and Home Depot to have my credit card information. Why would I want to give it to people who are probably throwing it in a box that's going to be left by the curb next year? If I'm willing to donate my money to support the 12th Annual Pub Crawl and Chainsmoke to Choke Out Domestic Violence, shouldn't you make every effort to accept it in whatever form is most convenient for me? What is with these charities?
