godsfearme Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I just wondering if any one out there is a boy scout or the evqurlevant in your country. Half the people in my troop play the game. I will shoot down any one with my bitting wit, and sarcasm!What POSSIBLE reason would someone have to make a fake like that?Does he profit from faking a picture like that? Does it help him at all?Jesus Christ, stop being so suspicious. This is Tip.it for God's sake, not RuneHQ. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AshKaYu Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Uhhh . . . yes, there are boy scouts, if you are reffering to the good-community-helping group of 10-14 year old boys. I was forced into being one once > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blank Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I know if you become an Eagle Scout they award that person PFC(Private First Class) in the Marine Corps. Not sure on any other branch though.

____ Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Quit. Started in Cubs, through Scouts into Venturers. And what's with having 'boy' before it now :-\ I've always only known it as Scouts. Granted it was originally just for males (as Girl Guides remains females only) but not anymore :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianofrieak2 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I'm Eagle! :) I learned so much in my Eagle Scout project...it wasn't too difficult but I learned a lot through my experiences. @darkrick: It's called Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts in the USA. They don't group them all together unless you're in venturers. They let girls be in venturers. In my opinion, it's not a good idea but that's just me. I'm currently transitioning from a Wizard to a Mage and a Priest to an Archpriest. Lol both are nonexistant in the top 25. Hopefully I can change that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although their 'no fraternization' rule did end up being a bit of a joke within my crew eventually :lol: That's precisely why I don't think it's such a good idea. The main reason they did it is to keep the older boys involved. Girls are the key. But, then the guys have to "show off" to show how cool they are and they end up being distracted, in some cases mean, and just ends up in a bad place. Not being sexist here...just pragmatic. :wink: I'm currently transitioning from a Wizard to a Mage and a Priest to an Archpriest. Lol both are nonexistant in the top 25.

Not being sexist here...just pragmatic. :wink: Can't say I have ever seen that side of things before. Almost every single group I have visited / seen has had a good 4 or so females. All of them just like anyone else. In some cases, better than and more respected than some of the guys. Fear of "distraction", IMO, is a weak excuse. Inability to keep people focused is the fault of the patrol leader, and or leader. The female has nothing to do with it. I've seen plenty of things distract males before, and I can honestly say that females ranked fairly low on the list. Their boy-ish obsessions (cars, sports, etc) dominated over anything else. The only reason the no fraternization rule actually existed was to give the leaders and patrol leaders a baseline to stop them being, "unprofessional" really. Just like in the workplace. Which is perfectly reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necromagus Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 In Holland we don't have all those ranks I'm reading about, just age groups (5-7, 7-11, 11-16, 16-18, 18+). I started when I was 7, became a leader myself last year for the 7-11 age group.

I started when I was 7, became a leader myself last year for the 7-11 age group.In Australia we have: Joey Scouts (aged 6-7.5) Cub Scouts (aged 7.5 - 10.5) Scouts (aged 10.5 - 14.5) Venturer Scouts (aged 14.5 - 17) Rover Scouts (aged 18 - 26) I joined in cubs and have gone through scouts and venturers. I just recently joined Rovers. Yes there were girls in my scout troop and venturer unit, and there are in my rover crew too. I reckon it's a great idea :D I don't do much badgework n whatnot, but I love adventurous activities (hiking, caving, mountain biking, sailing, rock climbing, abseiling, etc.) and the social side of it :) I do a bit of community service from time to time.

I was there with a good frend of mine, but I quitted in a few months.

rocketman089 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I was in Cub scouts/Boy Scouts until the summer before my freshmen year. It was pretty fun, all the camping trips and Summer Camp and stuff, and I got to Star Second class or something. But once highschool came I just thought "wow, this is seriously really lame", so I quit :( Gamertag: King Arizona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I'm an Eagle Scout, and I can say the stuff I've learned on the way will have made me a much better leader, etc. But if there is a stereotypical boyscout type, I'm definately not it. I did some great things in scouts as little as I liked the concept at the time. I went to Philmont Scout Ranch and did a 60-ish mile backpacking trip, what a great experience. It's a great thing to have on a college application and resume as well, being an Eagle Scout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
