No more "Boy Scouts"......

[JB0704]

I think we covered sewing being useful a few pages back. Most all agreed.

Im still waiting to hear the Boy Scout folks address 1eye’s post back there. That prevert weren’t inviting him back to teach him how to sew.

Not to burst your bubble but the Boy Scouts have never worn vests. You must have been a Girl Scout leader.

I think his point stands regardless. Vest, shirt, jackets, sashes... It's still odd in that context.

Seems like there's been a long history of failing to address that.

A sash would get in my way. I’m constantly tearing through brush and what-not. Best would make me sweat. Plus, I’m rough on clothes to begin with

I’m more of a headband guy

That’s exactly right. Makes the “I can’t believe this many people aren’t on board with Boy Scouts…” posts kinda weird dont it?

If I ever see my nephew in a sash I’m takin him out shootin for a few hours, then we GON bust firewood a while, then we GON work in the garden, then we GON ride dirt roads and have a loooooooooooong talk.

I feel pretty sure my daughter could whip a bunch of these sash wearing boys.

You’re wrong, I normally let the tailor at the cleaners sew Velcro to the uniform and the patches to Velcro. Taking them on and off loosened the stitching. The point being I was glad I was taught how to repair them without a sewing machine when deployed. It’s a useful skill to teach young men.View attachment 1304782

Who dat???

Which has nothing to do this conversation. God save us from any organization that teaches courtesy, service and politeness.

Is this the pocket you kept your sewing kit in during deployment?

Velcro for the win!

It has as much to do with the conversation as some of the other things I’ve seen posted here.

And it seems some of the folks gettin all keyed up over this have forgotten some courtesy and politeness part of the equation.

I’m all for teaching kids valuable skills. I’m not for turning them loose with a bunch or weirdos and preverts though. I’m funny that way.

I think erybody has good things to say about courtesy, service, and politeness. Those are all good things.

I'm just not personally into patches on vests or sashes, and am generally opposed to neckerchiefs. YMMV.

I can guarantee you that my daughter would put em in a headlock. She’s only 8, but she is the meanest thing I’ve ever seen

My daughters, 15, 10, and 9, pick and load rocks. I prolly ought give them a rock pickin' patch.

I get that, it’s our choice what our kids participate in. If it make you uncomfortable I get keeping your kids out it. I’m not going to run around demeaning a child who worked hard to learn some outdoor skills and perform some public service. The my kid can be beat you kid mentally is just ignorant.

Ignorant it may be but I’ll be happy to compare educations with most people here.

It helps to have a sense of humor and not take every dang thing literally.

AMEN! From over here in the AMEN Corner

I have a great sense of humor, those that know me know how much I love to laugh. Sorry, I don’t find humor in demeaning children.
