Going to scout camp this week in VA. Any other scouts on here?

Would that be the National Jamboree?

I'm an Eagle Scout from way back in the early 80's. Learned allot about the outdoors, camping, first aid and everything that goes into scouting. I always enjoyed going to camp and doing the different things they always had for us. I think allot of who I am today comes from what I learned in the Boy Scouts.

I was a Boy Scout in the early 50s.

And yep, it's a good experience.

Yes and no. I was "pionyr" - the communistic youth - and later leader

.

Well we were red towards the regime and boy scouts inside. Our specialization was white water canoeing. Every summer we would camp for 4 weeks in the middle of nowhere and during the year we would go camp in hills/mountains twice a month.
The only official business was to demonstrate once a year - May 1st - our support for the communist by marching in the Labor Day demonstration

Kind of hard to explain this to people who never experienced it

, but opressed nations find their way to avoid the official political line and create safe asylums to survive in.

Here are some more recent pictures:

Eagle Scout from '77. Just "retired" from CubMaster for my youngest son's pack, now committee member for his Pack and oldest son's Troop. I'll spend Tuesday at Boy Scout camp having spent a full week on the high adventure canoe trip with them last month.

I've used my Scouting skills in a variety of ways from Alpine Mountaineering to everyday life. It's definitely a good program, teaches kids things they just don't learn anywhere else.

Eagle, 1972. Made it to Philmont, and the Region 7 and Region 10 canoe bases. I think the greatest thing about scouting (other than the camping, canoeing, outdoors, hiking, etc.) was that in order to get a merit badge you had to be evaluated by an adult, one-on-one. Most of the time is was somebody that you didn't know. It taught you how to talk and represent yourself in an adult manner.

I bought some girl scout cookies one time... Does that give me any credit?

I've bought enough of those, or maybe I should say my wife has bought enough of those, that we ought own part of the factory.

And my wife used to be a Brownie leader.

Like Bird, I was a Boy Scout back in the late 50's. Made it to Life Scout.
