WAHT IS THE BEST BOY SCOUTING BADGE

we have lost our way as a website

this poll reeks of desperation

my platform runs on a plan of a return to simpler, greenspun-era values

Mammal Study

^^^ should be Mammary Study amirite

HORSEMANSHIP FTW

I voted for Basketry, fuck the haters

aw shit I should have voted for Indian Lore :(

no this poll is about what i'm having multiple gchat conversations about, did you guys even look at the link, i mean trucker badge wow

i voted for indian lore, though.

insect study, mammal study, cit. in the world, rifle shooting and wilderness survival were the ones i remember being awesomest. orienteering and cit. in the community sucked it hard.

LIFESAVING IS FOR SUCKS

Oh God, Citizenship in the World is basically the entire reason why I decided I would never be an Eagle scout.

whoops, i meant nation! nation was cool, world was not so cool.

Community sucked too but at least you could do it in like an afternoon.

WHERE IS ANIMAL HUSBANDRY??

wakeboarding

the mote aka motorboating ha ha

American Cultures

I would be very interested in what the average den master would have to say about this subject!

Dentistry? Do these guys pull teeth and all? Great!

This is maybe the biggest pile of cock I have ever read.

no no the miming thing is totally awesome

3. Do THREE of the following:
a. Act a major part in a full-length play; or act a part in three one-act plays.
b. Direct a play. Cast, rehearse, and stage it. The play must be at least 10 minutes long.
c. Design the set for a play or a production of a circus. Make a model of it.
d. Design the costumes for five characters in one play set in a time before 1900.
e. Show skill in stage makeup. Make up yourself or a friend as an old man, a clown, an extraterrestrial, or a monster as directed.
f. Help with the building of scenery for one full-length play or two one-act plays.
g. Design the lighting for a play; or, under guidance, handle the lighting for a play.

(xp: yes the miming thing is awesome but the rest seems to have been written by someone who has no conception of how things actually work within the theatre)
OH OKAY I WILL GET RIGHT ON THIS

shotgun shooting just barely beat out nuclear science

it's really not that hard to design a circus, dan, come on.

I got to Obtain a sample of irradiated and non-irradiated foods in the nuclear science one and had to stop reading because I lost my shit.

wau

boy scouts wuz nutz

i do not recommend it for your children

ps correct answer is "Wilderness Survival" because you actually have to build a shelter for the night and then there is a tropical storm and the men are separated from the boys like whoa. i stayed mostly dry.

u shoulda seen the dude who sat cross legged in a clearing and had us build a ziggurat of towels covering his entire body. i thought that having us do it for him was kinda cheating but i knew it would be worth it in the morning and it was.

(srsly, wtf with the catalog nonsense????)

Back in Britain, WHERE SCOUTING ACTUALLY FUCKING CAME FROM, less than 10% of those badges exist.

At which point I hand the poll back to Merkins.

60% of these badges didn't exist in the US 20 years ago, either. People be making shit up for their kids, I guess.

20 years ago there were a lot of badges that no longer exist (animal husbandry? all sorts of agricultural badges?). it changes with the times.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

This still kicks the ass of Girl Scouts. Activity-wise, not politically.

Boy Scouts can fucking die (the organnization); they're just puppets of Mormon Church now.
