Having been an Eagle Scout, back when being an Eagle Scout still meant something honorable...

My pop, Freeper “Skyraider”, was Wood Badge.

This is ridiculous. I’d laugh if it wasn’t so sad...

Having been an Eagle Scout,

There is no time limit to being an Eagle Scout.

If you were once, you still are.

I went to Wood Badge some years ago. This was not your fathers Wood Badge, it was called “Wood Badge for the 20th Century”.

It was pathetic. Not one outdoor skill was even discussed. It was all team building exercises and PC projects to “improve the Boy Scouts”, and we were directed that our project titles had to include the word “diversity”.

I was frankly disgusted.

My boys and I left the Scouts shortly after. I saw the end coming even then, that was over 10 years ago.
