My 12 year old is Scouts. She is currently at Winter Camp for 4 nights. She is taking woodsmanship, Family Life, fire starting, and fishing during this camp.
I haven't seen anything close to what you are saying in our experience.
Her experience is very similar to my experience in the 80s/90s.
This was our experience as well. And as my kids have gotten older and their friends who were into sports start coming to the camp more, I've noticed they are the ones who are soft, can't function without the phone, and lack a lot of the skills that my kids learned from scouting. This is a generalization but I've seen it more than I would have thought.

What I've noticed about Scouts since my daughter joined as a Lion last year is that it seems to be an outlet for kids on the spectrum.
Not sure if it's always been that way.
My guess is kids who don't/can't play sports or have trouble in social interactions are drawn to it - or maybe their parents push them to it.
One of the reasons we signed up my kid was just to give her variety. She's already in sports and likes camping, etc. At this age it's very sweet that they don't notice the differences too much.
I'm sure that will change at some point. But I'll say this, the cubscouts themselves and parents in our pack have zero issues with my daughter being there and love her because she's so outgoing and social and heps bring it out of some of the shy/awkward kids.
My kids weren't interested in sports and they did scouts when they were younger. It was a great experience for them. In LA, there aren't many groups doing the activities that scouts do. We were doing a lot of these activities anyway, so it was good for them to be around other kids who were interested in that. One of my kids is high functioning autistic and wasn't going to be playing travel ball or hanging with jocks. It was great for him and helped get him out of his comfort zone when he was young.
If you feel it's a good fit for your kids, I wouldn't worry about what anyone else thinks. The experience will be what you want to make it.
I have Barry Seal's safe sitting in my garage. My father-in-law picked it up at and estate sale back in the 80's.
I can only imagine what has been in that thing.

Very good, and I would also check out Berlin Diary by Shirer.

This live album is fantastic
My son was telling me he was back on YT and was so excited. He used to wait for his new video every Saturday. I was happy he was watching something like OB and not other things that are out there on the web.
It's definitely sparked interest in the outdoors at an early age for my son who was never much of an athlete. This helped me to convince the wife to get a camp on the lake to help foster that interest and give dad a place to fish and drink beer.
I would have loved to be able access this kind of content as a kid.

weird, losers, bored, I just don't know anymore...
Geckos hate hot sauce.
I put a little in a bowl and put them around my camp and they stay out.

But how's their presence in Cotillion and Dance by Taris?
I'm guessing Collins chaperones the dances since he knows so much about it.
My kids are nerds so they don't even know what Cotillion is, nor would they care.

Most independent, local shops will match pricing. Try to support your local guys.
I'm not really a romantic, but the theme about love in war from FWTBT makes the book worth reading and still stands out to me, even after having it read it years ago.
Hemingway explores the same theme in A Farewell to Arms, but I think it's much better done in this story.

I guess they could have maybe waited until the drunk a-hole ran into the car and killed people.

I can't stand the current condition of BR and it's been headed that way for a while. But I live in the middle of the city and can be at the hunting camp in 40 mins to take my kids hunting. I can hop in the truck and be at False River in 45 mins to take the kids fishing. I can be in Grand Isle in 3 hours fishing for specs and redfish. I enjoy doing these things like many other people that live here.
Where else can I go that I can do these things? If it's out there, it's most likely to cost way more than it does here. Like anywhere, there are good things and bad things wherever you live. You have to ask yourself what is important to you. You can live pretty good in SLA making decent money.
With that said, I hope things can turn around but it doesn't look good. Sid might have bit off more than he can chew. In his defense, there aren't many people that would be capable of turning this thing around.

re: Most sidewalks are a waste of money
Posted by Loubacca on 8/22/25 at 10:19 am to weagle1999
I appreciate sidewalks so I don't have to walk in the street while walking my dog. This allows me to let him shite on your lawn and not get run over by distracted drivers.

The only reason he got away with it was the library renewal was coming up, and they needed the council’s approval to get it on the ballot.
So it sounds like it was a pretty good move on his part. He didn't create this mess, but he's tasked with trying to unfrick it.
I don't really like the fact that they took money from libraries who are good stewards of the public money, regardless if they receive too much. It seems like they should be raiding the "community" slush funds but we know they spend every dime they get.

Then you are getting fricked. You should shop your shite yearly but at a minimum every couple of years.
Maybe, maybe not. I shop mine every couple of years and SF is still the cheapest option in my city. I've been with them for 30 years.

I know Elsie's is a big fan of sage. I haven't had their RB&R but I can taste sage in a lot of their dishes.
I add pickled onions to my plate of red beans.
