Seven years of meetings, campouts, fundraisers, service projects, etc., etc.
A lot of fun, a lot of work, a lot of browbeating to get the shit done.

RACK Mikey Jr.

The Board of Review was tonight, and this will be coming in the mail in about a week:

Rack him. I made it to Star and went from merit badges to school sports. A lot of misguided people mock the Scouting program, but there are few like it for helping young boys grow into men. Be prepared !

Isn't there a publicized list of Eagle Scouts who went on to become convicted felons?

Smack, he's gonna be an Anteater, like his sister.

Jsc, he built 5 raised beds at a local community garden. Actually the concept of the Eagle project is that the Eagle candidate leads the project through planning, fundraising and supervising the work. It was a lot of work.

Probably is.

There are also lists of CEOs, famous military officers and astronauts. I think that every person who has stepped on the moon was an Eagle Scout.

Secondary to the list of the ones who's Scoutmaster fucked them up the ass multiple times.

And the next list is the ones who prevailed in jury awards in the millions for getting cornholed by the Scoutmaster.

Thanks. Like I said, it was a lot of work but he made sure to do it right. There were 3 or 4 previous projects up there with 5 beds in each but most were shitty jobs. Some were built to a smaller width, because they used the requested width as the outside measure instead of the inside measure. The terraces weren't completely flat so some of the other projects just built up the ground under the low spots with sand, which later had washed out leaving open spaces, or they weren't level at all. We started out at the low corner for each bed and dug a trench around the entire perimeter to make it level, and then smoothed out the bottom of the trench with sand. Ended up having to move a lot of dirt...and it was in September when the ground was like concrete.

I'll be sure to tell him that Derron from T1B RACKed him. :lol:
He'll prolly go "wha..." :?

Anteaters are the four mammal species of the suborder Vermilingua commonly known for eating ants and termites. Together with the sloths, they compose the order Pilosa. The name "anteater" is also colloquially applied to the unrelated aardvark, numbat, echidna, and pangolin.

Species include the Giant Anteater Myrmecophaga tridactyla, about 1.8 m (6 ft) long including the tail; the Silky Anteater Cyclopes didactylus, about 35 cm (14 in.) long; the Southern Tamandua or Collared Anteater Tamandua tetradactyla, about 1.2 m (4 ft) long; and the Northern Tamandua Tamandua mexicana of similar dimensions.

I got as far as Webelos too. My kid was never a Cub Scout. I guess he just took up where I left off.

That's what I hear.

Your next door neighbor, right?

BTW, my daughter's been there for 3 years and still looks like one of us.

Exact same thing here, about 100 years later.

A basketball player from my day at ND wound up transferring there. He was frustrated over his lack of playing time at ND.

Dude lived in the same dorm as me, and in the space of about a year developed a pretty considerable reputation for 3 A.M. booty calls, which usually left his roommate, also a basketball player (who went on to become a first-round NBA draft pick, although he never played in the NBA, opting for Europe instead) frequently looking for a place to crash in the middle of the night. To top it all off, the roommate was 6'10", and had had to get a specially-made bed -- the beds that came in the dorm weren't big enough for him. So he spent most of his freshman year sleeping with his legs dangling over a bed. After that, his erstwhile roommate got his own room.
