Is Harp bored of this topic?

Harpie posted...
i'm happy for you or sorry that happened

It really is hard to figure out which is the appropriate response. Lol

That dude was unprofessional as hell Harpie. Honestly I'd file a complaint with that company for the hell of it. Fuck that dude.

I was in boy scouts 30 years ago and could have sworn there were a couple girls in our troop. We had to make covered wagons at the den mother's house and some girl made the best one. Maybe it was her daughter or something.

I enjoyed my time as a scout. Made it to a weblo but quit at middle/high school like most do. Looking back, I was I stayed in

Both of you were in cub scouts, not boy scouts. Same org, different division of it so the rules are slightly different.
Yeah in cub scouts, it's common for the little brothers and sisters of scouts to be running around and participating in the meetings. Easier for parents that way.

Do you like Magneto's new look?

His outfit is the only thing I dislike about the new show.

Do they still sell that shitty popcorn that everyone pretends is great or have they gotten a real product like girl scout cookies?

Yeah popcorn and peanuts. My troop learned 20 years ago that selling that stuff was pointless. We just cooked 100 gallons of brunswick stew 2-3 times in the winter like the fire departments do and made a killing. Most of us went to summer camp free every year because of it.

There were girls in my cub scout group here in the mid 90s, and I know my friends Venturers group was co-ed in the late 90s early 2000s.

this seems to be the US lagging behind the rest of the world

No in the US, Cub Scouts is also co-ed and Venture scouts is as well. Cub scouts has been like that since 2018 and Venture scouts have allowed girls for decades.

I had my meetings in both an elementary school gym and a volunteer fire dept. I'm an eagle scout and was a summer camp counselor for 5 years.

The BSA has backpedaled to allow "god" to mean "any sort of higher power". The official statement is "Its policy is that the home and organization or group with which the member is connected shall give definite attention to religious life.

https://www.scouting.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/RT-HT-Reverent.pdf

So, yes, it's wholly possible for a church-based troop to be religious AF (especially the LDS's) but secular scouting is also totally a thing, with adult leadership who attends church less than twice a year.

Eagle Scout here as well. Yeah our Cub Scout troop met at our vol fire dept too. Boy Scout meetings were always at church. I agree most troops aren't overly religious but still, the overall organization is religion based. Wasn't aware of that backpeddling though.

I was in boyscouts for one year only in 2nd grade so 1998 or 1999. My dad took me out at some point and was adamant I wasn't going back, but I never knew why.

Since he us gone, I still don't know why but I have always wondered. Did he save me from some predators or my original idea was since it was held at a church on normal meeting nights maybe it was too religious for his liking

Hmmm

Splitting hairs but you were a cub scout, not a boy scout. Different division of the same organization.

Boy Scouts is a religious organization. Most troops are sponsored by and meet at a church. There's references to God in the oath and laws you recite at the beginning of each meeting plus a prayer as well.

RetuenOfDevsman posted...

So, did anything actually change, other than the name?

No. They allowed girls to join Boy Scouts several years ago. Dropping Boy from the org name just makes sense at this point.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Except Boy Scouts and Girls scouts don't do the same things. Girls scouts don't tend to do all of the outdoor activities that Boy Scouts. Growing up I had a number of female friends that were mad because they wanted to do all the fun stuff the Boy Scouts were doing but weren't allowed to join.

Compsognathus posted...

I'd be curious as to how many of the people rage commenting were/are actively involved in Boy Scouts, because as someone who was super involved for years this change warrants a resounding "okay" out of me. High school me would have fucking loved it. Today, I do recognize that there is value in having spaces to foster healthy male bonding, so I can understand the disappointment in losing Boy Scouts as that sort of venue, especially for boys who don't gravitate for sports. But frankly Boy Scouts wasn't exactly good at in the first place (and the changes to make it good would be considered far more woke than letting girls in) and the alternative to letting everyone join is just shutting down entirely, so that safe male space would be going away regardless. At least this way they can still have an organization kids can join focused on conservation, outdoorsmanship and civic duty.

I was in scouts back then and still am now because of my teenage BIL.

Just to clarify, even though the BSA allows girls, they don't allow mixed troops. The troops are still separated between boys and girls.

philsov posted...

Which the organization started requiring in the early 90s, because they were completely aware of the sexual misconduct and wanted to prevent it going forward. This practice was often referred to as "two deep leadership".

Yup. The requirement is at least two adult leaders(meaning someone who's passed taken the Youth Protection training course, not some random parent) at every event. Also you can't be alone with a scout anywhere for any reason. Either two adults and one scout or two scouts and one adult situation.

Bump to spread TC's message of shame.

Looks like they followed through with this.

Took a public speaking class in college.

Toastmasters.

I recommend looking into finding a local club, they're a great bunch of people.

Another CEman I know is part of that. He said it improved his public speaking skills ten fold.

Why couldn't TC stay and attempt to spread positivity on the board instead of berating everyone?

Gotta moisten the sandwich somehow.

deanshow posted...

I ran one of those topics when Harpie got clipped for it. Some of the shit I've read were way worse than anything here.

Oh yeah I've ran a confession topic once and read some pretty bad stuff. Just saying, I wouldn't call half the users asking to see two CEgals topless wholesome but at this point I'm just splitting hairs. lol

deanshow posted...

Wow this topic is surprisingly tame and wholesome.

Is it? Have the confessions are asking about Harpie or Crim's tits. We used to have actual confessions.

Kajagogo posted...

The 'gummy balls' are gross.

You can ask for no boba.

It's tea with milk(sometimes flavored) and some gummy balls mixed in it. I don't get the hate either.

Post 2

Didn't think I'd see one of these again.

Harpie posted...

Tbh I haven't been to many museums; most of them cost money I don't really have. I'd probably be into science and history museums the most, but I'd definitely would need to go with someone else. Part of the fun would be being able to talk with someone else about what we're seeing

That really depends on the city. Washington DC for instance, most of the museums are free. The big art museum in my city is free and all the local university's art students just hang out there all day cause it's quiet and a lot of hidden spots to chill and read. Our science museum costs money though.

One of the last times I saw my mom, she came to me with a swollen black eye and a dislocated shoulder. Her hair had been crudely hacked off with scissors by her bf, and she was skinny as a rail. My grandma and I took her to the ER for her shoulder, and she begged and begged me to not tell paramedics her bf did that to her. I kept my mouth shut and she was dead within the year. The idea that maybe she could still be alive had I said something still keeps me awake at night sometimes.

I'm gonna be honest. If you said something, she would have just denied it and refused to press charges. Nothing would have changed. Don't beat yourself up over the choices your mom made. Fentanyl is such a fucked up drug. It's been all over my hometown the last decade. My childhood best friend got hooked on it and lost his life with it. I'll check out the local paper's website and see mugshots of people I grew up with mixed up in the drug.

Tag for later.

Oh no.....

Normal item: Chicken sandwich
Promotional item: Chicken sandwich with "special" sauce on it and silly name. Sauce tends to be mayo mixed with something else that can easily be made at home.

WHO started this meme in my Confessionary??? You better speak the fuck up cause I need a word with you

There was a user here once named Gilberto. He admitted to doing....things....to his dog. I'm sure that's where these confessions originate from.

What were some of your most popular faqs that your removed?

The definitive DQ game on GBC is Dragon Warrior Monsters.

They have Demon Slayer. Kids be crazy about that show.

You should bite the bullet on LAD considering it's $12.

Normally take showers. Though on rare occasion I'll take an Epsom salt bath if my back is hurting from exercising or just sleeping wrong. Really helps with the tense muscles.

Mabus was alright, when he wasn't making me sad about his drinking habits.

Good thing he stopped drinking a couple years ago.

Vicious_Dios posted...

Probably the only person I liked from those drinking topics.

Your words cut through me like a thousand tiny barbs sir.

Yeah he was already kinda sick of CE. Once the board got locked down, he just said the hell with it and killed off his main and couple alts. We moved our Drinking General topics to Discord a couple years back anyway so no real loss for him.

This is me. Got a nice $85 full sized ducky one 2 for my home office and love it. Don't feel the need to spend $600 to build one from scratch or $30 on a space bar. I like checking out the MK subreddit though to see the wild keyboard designs people come up with.
