I went through cub scouts and then about 1 week of boyscouts.. I stopped because the troop master we had never took us outdoors...

I was in scouting for a lot of years.  I made it most of the way through boy scouts before I started hanging with the "cool kids" and I decided scouts wasnt "Cool".  I regret the decision I made but what are you going to do.  My dad is still involved in the same troop I was in and Him and I do winter survival training ever Feburary.

I had 10 years of scouting.I made it to Life scout. Had some family/personal problems and didn't finish. Was a den leader for 3 years and now I am the Cubmaster of a Pack of 60 fine young men. I am also involved in my older sons' Boy Scout troop. The scouts are under attack from the politically correct. Our Council has just lost our funding from the United Way.

I made Life Scout but never finished either. One of the few disapointments in my life. Football and bowhunting won the battle for my time.....

Made it to life
 
 I spent 6 yrs. as pack leader/scout master of the same pack I was in while my son went through it. Unfortunately when I moved to another pack to follow along with my son the pack disbanded.
I reckon so

I made it to Eagle in 1966. Brotherhood Order of the Arrow. My brother made Eagle also. We were the first set of twins selected to go to the World Jamboree.

I was elected Chief of the Wahinkto Lodge in Order of the Arrow in 1967, then we moved overseas and never got back into it. Best thing a boy can do is be a scout. Best thing a man can do is be a scout leader. If it were not for my job keeping me away I would be one now.

I was fortunate enough to have a father who knew how to push the right buttons. A few months before my 18th birthday he left me a note on the kitchen table. It pretty much read that one chooses his own path and life and those who don't try won't succeed in many aspects of life. I still have that note in my dresser drawer 14 years later. Chokes me up every time I think about it. I know he's not reading this but thanks for the kick in the pants dad. Skippy
