Sup?
Sup?
Eagle user here. What a fucking disgrace the organization has become.
Here as well. I got to see the Gen z switch. Being SPL made me understand fascism.
1994, Bill clinton signed my shit.
Dox me faggots
Oldfag here. 1977, Jimmy Carter signed mine.
And yes, I'm ashamed to see the destruction of a once great organization.
Another Eagle here. I'll probably back Trail Life USA once they come into my area. The BSA troops are either elitist bullshit for snobby rich kids or almost dead because they never do anything. The particular troop I was in disbanded so can't back it.
kek me you OA story???
2008 Eagle here. Today’s BSA is cycled.
I only made it to star :(
Only did Brotherhood desu.
february 2004
what was your eagle project
I was OA too.
Now it's Order of the Asshole with all the faggots and traps.
I made these habitats for municipal stocked fish ponds. One style was corrugated pipe with cement on the end, the other was weighted pallet stacks. Kinda boring, but better than cutting trails.
I made Eagle thinking I'd be proud to tell people about it for the rest of my life. I'm glad I finished when I did. The organization is becoming a populist mess. Losing all its values because it's more of a corporation than a philosophy now. Kids are bringing their smartphones to campouts and don't care about honing skills because they can just use their phone to look it up or be a map for them.
Near the end of my involvement with my troop I saw a kid get his tenderfoot requirement for building a fire by lighting a pre-made kit from Amazon in a pit. So fucking disgraceful.
Yall are a bunch of weirdos
We need an American Fascist Fraternity
Scouts for men to teach each other the traditions lost to time
Black Sun Explorer Scouts
2017 Eagle Here; I'm disgraced off what it has become. My troop has blocked all traps and pussy.
Sup stevie
lol OA was such a joke where I was. went to shit went we stopped being able to initiate
Too much Anglo to my saxon to join.
Andrew Jackson Council reporting in.
I'm an oldfag. That shit was like Bohemian Grove for a weekend but you weren't allowed to speak. Always though OA was grooming for something else, desu.
oh rly? Choctaw Area Council checking in. i didn't realize how based your council's name was til now
I don't disagree. It was built up to be some kind of special, secret society. But alas, we were all 13. So how great could it have been.
I said it yesterday. Boy scouts hasn't been good for decades
It's a bunch of pansy ass kids chasing basket weaving faggotry merit badges instead of doing survivor man type shit
>t. 30 year old eagle
I never bothered joining OA because my friend joined and said besides boring ass meetings they never actually did anything.
that's rough...
I got mine in '05 so I don't know if we still have the state flag, which itself is pretty based, on the patch any more.
apparently in my council they couldn't exclude anyone from OA, so instead of being an honor society it was a participation trophy
troop 486 eagle scout here
how are my other Sup Forumsoyscouts?
OG flag...
how is Trail Life USA? good alternative?
Yeah by my time it was a giant group hug. My entire patrol got "tapped out."
Only made it to star and deeply regret not attaining Eagle. I really hope the organization changes for the better by the time my son is of scouting age.
Never let him go, user
t. Council formerly known as Robert E. Lee
If you don't mind that it's turbo Christian I think it's decent. If nothing else the troops in my state seem to do a hell of a lot more outdoor stuff and community service than most BSA troops in the area.
unironically
2016 eagle here, got it in December after Trump won. Never got anything signed from the president but I wrote a letter to Trump asking him to sign one for me.
Wait. Is it now called "Heart of Virginia?"
yeah, I don't mind the turbo Christianity. that actually sounds pretty great altogether. I want to get involved with helping out a troop, but I can't in good conscience help the BSA, especially in my state
*blocks your advancement*
BSA is now allowing girls cause girl scouts was a shit tier organization that catered to idiots. I got my eagle right before they ruined it, thank god.
Whats your state?
Can you imagine girls going on campouts? How many mommies are going to be made in the "Boy" Scouts?
Going to Field Day on Saturday to earn your radio badge?
Fucking this. This I why I left scouts and never made eagle. By the time I was in high school the only kids left were the uberspergs, borderline retarded 12-year-olds, and a select handful of decent guys.
We need a Make BSA Great Again campaign.
It's worth checking their website if you get bored. They haven't reached my particular town yet but they're in pretty much every town surrounding me so I think it'll only be time since a local church in the area started an American Heritage Girls and usually churches will do Trail Life USA and American Heritage Girls.
from MS, now live in yankeeland. there are hardly any BSA troops around and they're very cucked. and no Trail Life USA troops at all
I'm now an assistant scoutmaster, and they have to put us through a shit ton of sexual harrasment prevention training. Its getting really corporate. Powell would be rolling in his grave.
Who here /eaglesnest/
really? Are the girls already in your troop? I thought it was planned for the far future.
They're coming in next year. Depends on the district though. Mormons are pulling out and districts are being redrawn. It's a shitshow in the southwest for scouting.
Anyone else put Eagle Scout on their resume? I used to but decided to take it off, figure it isn't all that great looking anymore.
Fuck. Are there women leaders who are being brought in? Otherwise you're going to have to deal with tampons 'n such.
This organization is fucking dead now, a real shame.
1994 here. Sam Houston Area Council. OA '93 at Camp Strake. Did Philmont in '94.
I do object to how political it has become, but only because to me that was never the point of it at all, and it's just a distraction. My son is 5 now and I'm considering the Tiger Cubs for him. I'd encourage him to go Eagle if I could be closely involved with the Troop, because to me it really is whatever you make of it. There were lame-o kids when I was in it, too.
Women leaders are allowed for a while now. In my experience, they're a mixed bag, mostly on the negative. Boys need male role models, not soccer moms.
i built a bridge...
1994 again. There were female scoutmasters back then, too -- some of the best I personally dealt with, in fact.
do the women ever bring food or refreshments? if they'd bring cookies and punch to every meeting they might be tolerable.
Nice. Did you do north or south Philmont? Also, scouting is still good, but make sure you find the right troop. don't get stuck in an eagle mill or a soyboy camp.
I still do because it telegraphs that you came from a solid, conservative home.
This how I feel. There was some kids screwing around when I was in it (and it was me sometimes until I grew up more) but it was a valuable experience and I did learn a lot of skills. Being an Eagle meant something to other people too. It helped me get scholarships and jobs. I'm glad I got my Eagle before the institution got gutted. Boy Scouts is one reason I have a deep personal animosity towards the left.
/304/ here, anyone from around the Midwest here?
2003
Who here order of the arrow?
BSA's golden days are over. Not putting my kids in it.
I'll teach them what they need to know Re survival skills
Got my eagle in 2009, my troop was an Eagle machine, had 5 or 6 guys get Eagle every year. Its so discouraging to see what the organization has become. Any other Flint River Council anons here?
Fuck, yeah. Spent many a nights a camp strake. You seen it lately? Lol
7-day trek. Baldy Mountain during the summer of 1994. In my case basically my dad and I took it seriously while a lot of the other kids acted like idiots and made trouble. This is more or less what I'd do with my own son. I suspect it's always been somewhat this way.
Don't wanna talk about it. :)
/109/ here. Are you 304 out of Saginaw?
me, Kansas here
They made the boys in my troop change a line of their cheer "all the other troops, they look like girls" in summer camp. Me and the other scoutmasters complained, but you could see the soy dripping off of the director
Old fag reporting in. Bill Clinton signed my Eagle. Vigil arrowman. Quartermaster. BSA is dead. It won't even be the BSA in another tear, just the Scouts USA.
I'm so missed my son won't be able to be a real Scout.
FUCK NATIONAL COUNCIL!
post your badge.../2o18/
I did baldy in 2008. Scouting is worth it for philmont alone. Did you see any buffalo when you were there?
No, Ohio sadly
Also did anyone go to Camp Thunder here? Place was interesting to say the least.
2003 eagle and also disgusted how the organization has been changing
I was from a small but very active troop, we did super strenuous philmont trips in 2000 and 2002. Went through it with guys I went through 12 years of school with and we are still friends today. Also OA brotherhood but was never active after I finished.
Have 4 cousins that got eagle as well
d beard by chance? SK?
Is "soggy biscuit" an actual real thing you do?
post your strap...
If you can't even escape the PC plague innawoods with a bunch of rambunctious teenage boys there is nowhere else to go
I do, but it hasn't had anywhere near the impact that everyone memed about while still in scouts
‘97 eagle, North Florida Council. OA Brotherhood, has some great times at pow wows. Saw what happened at summer camps once they allowed female staffers through Venture. Never allowing a daughter (god forbid I have one) to be involved.
2006 here. Built duck houses for the Missouri conservation department and installed them in the wetlands. Shit was cash. Super easy too. Ducks are cool.
2009, Obama was president but mine was signed by Bush. Obama refused to be the honorary BSA president at the start of his term. Fucking disgrace.
Made Eagle in 2012, and the BSA has gone downhill since then. Fuck that organization.
I was an officer in my chapter. Your friend was right. I ran for chief on a platform that would make the meetings useful, and not just something that could have been emailed, but year after year, they just kept in retarded faggots who didn't do anything. Like said, Scouts made me understand facism lol.
Made Eagle in 2002. Southeast Louisiana Council.
My Troop didn't survive Katrina, though.
My friend hated the meetings so much he'd just flat out bail on them. I remember one time he bailed and we just went to the range to shoot guns for a hour or two. Good times though it doesn't feel as long ago as it is.
SPL 1994-1996, Eagle 1996, two palms. Sea Scout Eagle 1997. OA Lodge Chief, Founder's Award, Vigil member 1998; my given name is one of the four principals. Philmont 1995, 80+ miles in ten days. Camp staff 1993-1998. Annual 4-day backpacking treks, semi-annual 7-14 day high adventure. I can start a fire with flint, perform The Cremation of Sam McGee before a thousand people, give a rousing speech in support of my country, sing in a choir, shoot a rifle, sail a keel boat, rescue a swimmer in distress, belay and rappel, find direction day and night without a compass or iPhone, program a computer and play the piano.
Aye lad, not putting my son in it. at least I can regale him with stories from philmont in my childhood though
