How many of you OBers were boy scouts/Eagle scouts? Any good stories?

Eagle Scout with bronze, gold, and silver palms.


And happy birthday BSA

I was a boy scout for a little while. Ended up quitting because it was too much for my parents between that and swimming and baseball and soccer, and I liked the sports more

Got a Boy scout and Cub Scout at home. Both want to make Eagle. Two cousins are Eagles.

Wife is den leader for the cub scout

Half of our football team was in our boyscout troop. We would load up after practice and go to troop meetings. Nobody picked on us b/c half of the offensive line and the starting QB were boyscouts

We went to our youngest boys honor roll program last week. Every boy in the den made honor roll. And has been for three years.

Its a good place for growing boys to be.

We were at Avondale for the 100th birthday. It was a big event.

I was at Independence Park for the 75th sleeping in 3" of water with thousands of other scouts. Shitty weekend…

I was a cub scout and then decided to devote my time to sports. I had a blast, but winning every derby got old really quick.

I got kicked out in a year and a half... Did earn a few merit badges but I wasn't much of a team player.

Yup. My dad built us some badass ones too. Lithium grease was the key
