It’s not a bad thing but it takes away from the experience. 16 minutes ago, derf said: I was in it mostly because I liked to go camping, even in the winter snow. I went to the Jamboree in '85, which was fun. Got to be there as a hurricane blew through. Also, I think that was the year the guy cut off 3 toes demonstrating axe safety. The next year we went to Philmont. Lightning hit near us one night and blew up a huge tree. Big chunks of wood scattered over maybe 50 feet radius. We picked them up and had an enormous courtesy pile for the next troop. I got out of scouting what I wanted. I never really got interested in going up in rank. But once I hit high school I lost interest. The scoutmaster's kid was on a quest to earn every single merit badge available. He was almost there by the time I left. Absolutely wild. Three toes?! That’s unfortunate but kinda funny. At the rate BSA keeps adding merit badges, it will only take longer for those to get them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsalagi Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Achieved Life Scout and OA prior to my emersion into High School football and that was the end of Scouting. Wish I had stayed in for the Eagle in hindsight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989commanche Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I stayed till the end and then some. Made life scout. Had way too many merit badges just not all the right ones for Eagle. I think I had 55 or so of them. Went all the way up the sash and around top back down the back side. Was in OA also. Then at 18 I was asst scoutmaster for quite a few years. fun times. I was a cub master also for about 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a cub master also for about 10 years. My biggest regret is not fillin up the sash. I had more partial merit badges than I should’ve had. But problem was was finding counselors for them and completing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greentoy Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I just became an Eagle Scout tonight!Congratulations! That is a great accomplishment! I never had the opportunity to do scouting growing up since we didn’t have a good troop near us at the time. I am currently the Troopmaster for a Trail Life USA troop here in west Texas. (TLUSA came out of BSA in 2014 when the board split) It has been an amazing experience to do with my son. We are getting ready for our annual 50 mile/5 day canoe trip through Big Bend National Park. It’s one of my favorite trips we do all year. What was your freedom project?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 I’m pretty sure that’s how I got hired for target on the spot. The gentleman interviewing me was in scouts and a scoutmaster for a time too. I do miss talking to that man. He shortly retired after my first 6 months in.
