ok totally unrelated question.

How many Scouts (Boy Scouts not International Harvester) are here??

Just curious.. after all we all seem to be such a happy group (you know now that I say that and think back..) I don't know that we have ever had a serious flame job on the board?? even with some pretty fundamental disagreements.

I think MC is a boyscout :-|

I was a scout! as far as I know I'm still the only courts martial in the history of the scouts.


(something about a fire I'm still not allowed to talk about it)

Never made it that far. My dad was never around and it was hard to do some of the father son things.
So I quit.

I was a Boy Scout. Made Life, working toward Eagle when I got too old. Wasn't interested in Explorers. Got my first AMC about that time (73 Hornet hatchback), and started gear heading it (SC/360 clone).

You guys picking on me :smile: I grew up dirt poor. My folks didnt have any money for cub scouts so I never went. We were very poor.

I never was a Scout, never interested, only child dad worked second shift spent all my free time in our little behind the house shop. I had a set of torches, two lathes (father was a tool and die maker) little Dayton buzz box welder, a small bench grinder, and a Sears compressor. Did spend a lot of time making black powder paper bombs and cannons, along with working on my first project a CJ2A at the tender age of 11

I was a cub scout
never went any further.
My mom got me into the scouts after her and my dad split up
I thought they were kind of strange so I stopped going.

:shock: Seems kinda wierd, I got into scouting as a little kid for exactly those reasons.. No-Dad, worthless Mom and zero money.. a local church had a scout program and they took me in..wierd how similar situations work themselves out..

:sa: It's all good.. I was just curious

Personally I think it is easier if you don't have a dad. Then they don't expect you to have someone to do things with. But when you have a dad that didn't have the time to spend with you it was worse. They made me feel like I was unwanted.
