Any former Boy Scouts or Cub Scouts here?

I only lasted three weeks in the Scouts, back in the 60s. I was deemed unsuitable after showing the scoutmaster the proper way to tie knots after he made a real hash of some he was demonstrating.

My father was a Royal Navy man and we'd tied knots for as long as I could remember.

That's quite funny. I was a boy scout. We didn't really do merit badges or anything. But I learned a lot of practical thinking and doing things for myself.

It was a lot of fun and still comes in handy every now and then.

It's nice knowing how to chop wood, tie knots, make a fire, cook dinner etc.

I got thrown-out. Fighting with my brother.
They weren't prepared for me:roflmao

Currently am working for the boy scouts out at Philmont Scout Ranch whilst looking for a real job. Eagle Scout as well.
