My son's troop did a trip from upstate NY to Hershey, PA and a few other places down there. The leader was a woman who had her head up her ass. When we arrived at the church to depart, she had arranged for the priest to bless the troop and the trip. OK. Fine. One Buddhist kid didn't say "amen", and she ripped him a new a-hole. She then said we were to follow her on this 5 hour ride, convoy style, which only crazy people think is a good idea. She chose the worst possible route, a two-lane country road populated by an endless series of gravel trucks which nobody could seem to pass. After an hour of going up mountains at 20 mph, breathing diesel fumes, I managed to pass the whole convoy. We spotted the restaurant which was our first stopping point, and when she arrived, she attempted to rip ME a new a-hole. The trip did NOT go well from that point on. Two days later, we were at a scout camp which was 10 minutes from route 81, a real highway. It was pouring rain, and she planned to go back to the nasty country road. I told her I'd be taking the highway. She told me there was a buddy system, so I could not take a different route back unless there was another car with me. I gave her 15 minutes to find one. She didn't. The rest of the sheep took 8 hours to get home. Oh...and my son had been camping since he was like 2. He'd set up tents in rain & high winds lots of times with his parents. The leader was showing the kids how to set up their tents, and taking forever as the temp was dropping and darkness was near. My son took matters into his own hands and had his tent up, with the help of another kid, in about two minutes. He got yelled at for not listening. But, the last straw was when the BSA eliminated the merit badge for Unitarians, which my son was sorta kinda trying to get. |

When we arrived at the church to > depart, she had arranged for the priest to bless the troop and the trip. I had to wonder about our local pack right from the beginning. One of the first events was the Cub Car rally. In case you don't have them there, the kids buy the car kids, basically a few pieces of wood with some axles and plastic wheels and they put them together and paint and decorate them. Then they get together and have a race. They also judge the cars on appearance. The cub master's kid won. There is no question it was the nicest car. His father did a great job on it. If I had known that it was a project for the fathers I would have done my son's car for him. I thought it was hi project and made him do it himself. |

Hopefully, an isolated case and not represetative of the organization as a whole. After 3-4 yrs as a Cub Scout and 3 as a Boy Scout, I finally quit due to blatant nepotism within our troop. But, while I regret that incident, I can't default an organization that taught me many meaningful lessons in life, gave me a lifelong love of the outdoors, and provided my with many great memories. Unfortunately, like any organization, it can only be as good as the people running it at any given time. nb |

(We seem to be Little Brownie residents here in VA) I saw those, but they didn't look very good so I didn't get any. The Lemon Pastry Cremes had a flaky pastry cookie with lemon filling. I restricted myself to two boxes o' thin mints this year. I'm half-way through the first "line" of box 2.

I was there the whole time. But, there were a lot of kids from households with missing fathers. They were either alone at the meetings, or with their mothers, and the moms were not inclined to **** on the troop leader. If it hadn't been for me and one other dad, there never would've been a knot-tying night. The leader thought rope was dangerous. A-hole. |

GS cookes are a total rip-off! Anyone who buys them should be punished
to the fullest extent of the law! They demean the GS, who make very little from them, line the pockets of the manufacturer, and defraud the customer. This is a total hoax and should not be allowed to continue! Oh, BTW, my favorites are those delicious Tagalongs! Can't pass them up! ![]() |

For a few years in a row, she got the job of managing cookie sales. We stored cases of cookies in our garage until they were distributed to the Troop for sales. Of course we ended up buying cases of the stuff for family and friends. The sad thing is, the local Troop that does all the work only received less than 25-cents per box of cookies, out of the then $ 2.00 per box price. -Rusty |

Those are my favorites, too. Not only are your brownies banned from my home, those particular cookies are, too. I'm glad I don't work at my old job anymore, the boss' little girls sold cookies and were were pressured into buying them. Of course, I bought the low fat cookies... AND the coconut chocolate ones. I don't remember what they were called, probably because the box never lasted too long around the house. Hours, tops. Stacia |
