Apparently, there are also now strict rules for scouts on the size/capacity of water balloons (which must be of the biodegradable variety, btw) , and eye protection must be worn at all times when target squirting.

What a steaming pantload. I can see having a rule about squirting random people who aren’t part of your squirt gun fight. That’s rude behavior (and you shouldn’t need a rule to know that, actually). But telling kids you can’t have a squirt gun fight with your friends? Come *on*. That was one of the best parts of summer growing up.

I suppose catching fireflies (”lightning bugs” we used to call them) is out of the question now, too...

Where have you been? Letting your kids be outdoors unsupervised is child neglect now.
