Thank you Dave in West Virginia.
Sorry for y'all boys who don't like Boy Scouts. I was in for 6 years, including Explorers and I loved it. Loved going on campouts and shooting the rifles at summer camp.
Learned how to tie all the knots including the bowline, and I still use that knowledge on a daily basis.
Never saw or heard of any perverts.
And I was taught proper respect for the flag. "...should not be embroidered on handkerchiefs."
THIS ^^^^
...and the coolest thing we built was a rope bridge. I believe I could still knot up another.
