I think it is time for a little humor. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I am not the one writing it. As I was looking about the world wide net I came across a site that had the “Top 10 Pick-Up Lines You Can Use While Wearing Your Scout Uniform”. They brought a smile to my face. A couple push the envelope, just a bit. Read them and see what you think of them.

By the way, these were found at http://members.tripod.com/~BFarns/index-lines.html

10. I was going on a hike and my compass led me straight to you.
9. The khaki in my shirt brings out the color in your eyes.
8. Baden Powell really was my uncle, honest.
7. It’s true; this arrow is a sign for virility.
6. Let’s go identify wild plants in the forest.
5. Can I practice giving you CPR?
4. Yes, in fact I do have the Rabbit Raising Merit Badge.
3. Come on, I’ll give you a tour of my tent.
2. I know how to tie 27 different knots. Can I tie you…I mean show you?
1. These pants really are made of polyester, go ahead, you can feel them if you want to.

I found this on one of the Scouting groups I belong to. It was too good to keep to myself so I wanted to share this with all of you. It is great to see other Scouters with a sense of humor. Thank you to Michael Conkey (who has a daughter who is dating an Eagle Scout) for posting this:


Dad’s Dating Rules for Scout Daughters


1. You may only date Boy Scouts that have achieved Eagle Scout rank.


2. You and your date must wear your scout uniforms at all times during the date.


3. If someone pulls into the driveway and honks, it better be UPS and not your date, as he will not be picking you up if he does so.


4. All activities on a date must count towards badge work, be acceptable under the Scout Law.


5. The only food on the date will be Girl Scout Cookies or Scout Popcorn and your date must agree to purchase a minimum of one case.


6. At least 2 members of your troop/crew or your leader must accompany you on a date as a chaperon.


7. There will be no Friendship squeezes, and the only thing you will do with your hands is give the scout hand sign and handclasp.


8. The only music you will listen to will be scout campfire songs.


9. The word “s’more” will not be spoken on the date.


10. You may only swap “Something with A Pin or a Patch”


11. On your honor you will only go to a nursing home, church or homeless shelter to perform service on your date.


12. As a Scoutmaster I can tie 100 kinds of knots, build a roaring fire that can consume anything, and dig a latrine at least 6 feet deep. I can hike 20 miles in a driving rain with a 75 pound backpack. I am very familiar with knives and guns. Please be home even earlier than you promise and don’t test my resolve to “Be Prepared” to protect my daughter.


The latest of the videos featuring Buttons, the radical Boy Scout, has been posted. He is still trying to learn the Cub Scout Promise from Michael, the radical Cub Scout. Unfortunately, Buttons is not the brightest Cub in the Pack. I am sure you will get a chuckle or two from this, the second video of this series.

Thank you to everyone who has watched the first of the Cub Scout Promise videos. It has
become one of the most popular videos I have made. Between the two sites it has been
watched over 1000 times during the last 2 1/2 weeks.
