I spent $10 on a small bag of popcorn today. I could have bought 18 boxes of Cracker Jack for the same price, but the cub scouts were selling it and being a former Eagle scout I was alright with making a "donation".

What was good to see and hear is that before I made the purchase I asked the two scouts if they knew the scouts motto and oath, and they knew and recited both of them.

Never mind.

Curse you for making me do stuff!

It rubs the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again...

are the boy scouts/cub scouts still excluding gays and getting government money?

yeah....they aren't ever going to willingly get a cent from me...

Ah yes, the scouts. I remember those days. Troop 999.

Specifically, I remember the popcorn being a real tough sell for most people, especially at those prices. So tough to compete with the girl scouts selling those awesome cookies for a much better price.

On the other hand, I also remember the Pine Car Derby, and that was just plain fun. Even if there were a lot of kids who clearly didn't make their own cars.

I wasn't aware of this, especially with all of the old cracks about "fiddly" scoutmasters.

I doubt any cub scout even knows about sexual preferences. SPOILER ALERT:

The kids believe that kool-aid is Bobcat Blood for crying out loud. The scouts just stress discipline, and accept kids of all walks of life. Besides obvious exceptions, I think the scouts are great for kids.

I have my two pine car derby cars in my office I'll take pics and post, as I cleared house as far as medals went.

(I may or may have not placed a weight inside the front of my car)

I am more concerned about the exclusion of gay leaders and gay Boy Scouts (I've not heard of a gay Cub Scout). I seriously have zero respect for the scouts, and don't really understand how people who support equality can support them. I am pissed off that my tax money goes to them as is...

Ha, nice! I'd like to see them.

I think my dad still has mine somewhere. I'll have to look for it.
