That one is always good. I despise scouts, though. I want the kid to decide it is lame without me nudging him that way. He says he wants to be in it for the camping and fishing and stuff. He is yet to camp or fish with scouts, after 2 years of it, and he and I camp and fish all the damn time. What's the point of scouts?
Meh, I grew up in scouts and can say it gives the kids a belonging to a group and in theory gives kids rules for life. Thankfully, I had my last meeting of the year last night so I'm done until at least next year. There's plenty of stuff that sucks about going to meetings every week, but all in all I do it for the kid.
Happy birthday!
Scouting provided me several opportunities in life that I would have otherwise missed out on - not related to scouting. It got me into the college I wanted to attend, landed me multiple jobs I was unqualified for (on paper) and was always a game changer in interviews. Don't deter him from scouting if it is what he wants to do, maybe find a troop that is more active or find out why his current group does so little.
This. Especially being an eagle helps on resumes and applications for schools.
More cherry coke.
