i made it to the rank of life. was just starting to work on a eagle project when i discovered girls...... if i had it to do over again, i would have finished and then gotten on with the romance.....

we used to go to canada (medicine hat, alberta) and stay with the families of canadian scouts for a weekend in the spring. in return, the canadians came down in early summer and stayed with us. had a lot of fun and learned to read a bit of french while i was up there!

went on missouri river float trips twice, back when it really was sorta like going with lewis and clark. hopefully things will stay that way with the bicentennial coming up.

camped in the bear paw mountains, and in the mocassin mountains at the k-m scout camp. also had a few expeditions on the milk river, cow creek....more than i can remember....DAMN i had fun.

NH_hunter, if you aren't already in the scouts, you should join. 3 years, you could gain some rank, learn some REALLY good stuff, and have a great time. might make you a better man in later years too.....

anyone else? where did you camp? any great trips?

Taz;

I'm a former Cub & Boy Scout.  Good organization & I'm glad that they are still around.  I also HEARTILY approve of their stand against the incursion of 'political correctness' into a non-government sponsored youth group.

 guys : i made it to first class. then i got thrown out for eating brownies.  i worked with the scouts with my kids. its just not the same here. alot of the parents use it as a baby sitting service. dump a kid off and let someone else worry about him for a few hours. there were a few kids who liked it and wanted to learn. but there were the 1s who showed up and sat in the corner and said up yours and leave me alone. but these were the kids that needed it the most. but they didnt care
