Title: The Boy Scouts!
Post by: holtender on 24 December 2011, 20:01:25
Who was a  Boy Scout?

I joined the 57th South Birmingham Troop in 1968, we met in a wooden shed in the playground of a school , I learnt plenty of stuff that has been of use to me throughout my life.

Be Prepared

I was.. for about 6 weeks. ;)

Long enough to get my Mum roped into running the troop, which she did for another 20 odd years. ;D

Air cadets myself.  I was a cub for many years but on my first night at the scouts in Warrington I was threatened with a knife.  Never went again.

The prospect of flying a plane and shagging girls in RAF uniforms won  ;D

Hmm. Does sound more fun than chucking batteries on a camp fire then legging it.

I was in the Air cadets (for similar reasons to Guffer). My CO keeps asking me to come back as an instructor, shame I don't have the time.

I was never allowed to join those afterschool clubs.  I think my mum had a natural distrust of gentlemen who willingly give up their free time to play with small boys...

...all of a sudden, I think you may be able to understand why I am like I am ;D

Yes, from age 8 to about 16 I was involved with scouting.

Great times, dont regret any of it, many very happy memories and lots of good experiences.

I signed up in 1955 as a Wolf Cub.......achieved Sixer status.  ;) 1st Penn and Tylers Green Pack. Unfortunately, there was no Scout troop to follow on to.
When my lad joined in 1980, we got involved, which led to another 20 years charity work !!!!!!! ;)

I was a Venture scout briefly! Until I was led astray! ;)

Brownies etc were all too girly for me, never got chance to do The Duke of Edinburgh Award but did do The Basic Expedition Training Award with 13 lads which kind of made up for it! ;D ;D

We're considering starting our eldest in scouts next year.
