Funny he mentions Boy Scouts. My son is crossing over from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts next month. I recently took him on a weekend trip with a local Boy Scout troop he is thinking about joining.
Anyway, Saturday after supper, the Scoutmaster divided the boys up into four patrols and assigned them each to come up with a song and a skit to perform for the group. It was a lot of fun.
I remember thinking at the time - this is an essential survival skill that’s being taught. If you’re preparing, don’t forget friends and entertainment.

Have fun with Souts. I started as an assistant SM when my oldest son joined and just finished my 10th year as Scoutmaster as my youngest (of 4) son got his Eagle last year. It has been fun and a great excuse to get out in the great outdoors.
And yes, BSA still teaches marksmanship with rifle, shoutgun and archery. The rangemasters are all taught and certified by the NRA.
