Yup, I was a boy scout. I started out in cubs and then moved onto scouts. The reason I joined was my mother was trying to get me to do new things. It was her last push to try and get me to do something (I had already done numerous activites before but had dropped them due to them being boring)
I got quite a few badges and got to a pretty high rank. I also had to carry the flag a couple of times on Remembrance Sunday. I remember it being pretty damn heavy and had me wobbling all over the place.
Then when I grew to old, I popped over to Scouts and just lost interest, not getting a single badge and generally not enjoying myself. The whole aspect of sleeping in a tent on cold, hard ground didn't go well with me. Ended up dropping it.
Couple months later the Scout master was arrested for having CP on his computer and was convicted a pedophile. Good thing I left when I did eh
