Nanuq Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 You might be a Scoutmaster ir... * Most of your wardrobe is olive drab or khaki. * You have holes in the pockets of your jeans from carrying a pocket knife. * You begin to think half frozen French fries don't taste all that bad. * You keep a bucket of water by your side while cooking dinner. * You spontaneously break into strange songs in public. * You can stare at a spider web for an hour, and not notice the time passing. * You carry your own toilet paper wherever you go * You always read by a flashlight. * Your radio is always tuned to the weather station. * You hoard tent stakes. * You wear 2 pairs of socks to bed. * You keep a lantern hanging outside your bathroom door. * You sleep under a trash bag. * You cannot walk by a piece of trash without picking it up. * You carry a duffle bag size first-aid kit in your car. * You always have hat hair. * You continue to wear it until it stands on it's own. * You're always counting how many matches you have left. * You know all the words to "Little Bunny Foo-Foo", but can't remember where you left your briefcase. * You see paint samples in a store and immediately want to name things in nature with the same colors. * Your pots and pans are all black. * You roast a mini-marshmallows on a paper clip over a candle; then put it on a golden graham with one square of chocolate, just to get the flavor. * You always cook enough food for twelve. * Pie iron pizzas is the best meal you've had all week. * You always have a cup hooked to your belt. * All your clothes have little pieces of egg stuck on them. * You own little bits of every color felt. * You open letters with a pocket knife. * You have something on your shoe...and you're sure it's only mud. * You eat ants on a log and like it. * You wear bread bags on your feet. * You know 365 one pot meals. * Your "microwave" is a box wrapped in foil. * When opening large gifts, you wonder if you have a piece of foil large enough to cover it. * You buy your shampoo in little tiny bottles. * You order pizzas 14 at a time. * You have to urge to help little old ladies...whether they want it or not. * Everything in your cupboard says "instant, just add water". * Your neighbors hide when they see you going door to door with "that order form" again. * You have to go to the restroom and you start looking for a buddy. * You really do use those emergency sewing kits.

its_urabus Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 As a dad of a new tiger scout (a life scout myself) I love your list. We just turned in our popcorn form, and our Halloween pack meeting was a pumpkin decorating fiesta. The pipe cleaners felt and glue were everywhere. Food drive for the local food pantry is this month. I hope my son sticks with it. It year one of many. Maybe someday I'll post pics of his eagle cerimony on here like you N. Oh and I'm going to the scout store for my olive pants. Great deal on awesome pants! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Yeah baby! And the new pants are much more in line with what we teach the boys; they're actually usable in winter now. This is a great year for your son to get started, too... being the Centennial! If you keep yourself enthused, it will be contaigous. Go for it!

P4GTR Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Ken I totally LOL'd. You stole Nanuq's thunder! I didn't like cub scouts when I was a kid. I was an antisocial child. But I loved the knives.. Still do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demsey Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I was an antisocial child. But I loved the knives.. Still do! Note to self; The Tampa Bay GTG is out. Great post Bob. Maybe I could have been a Scout leader. That list? Just sounds like the 'Demsey' 's on vacation. Besides, I have the official "Boy Scout Mascot" as a signature.
