It's a shame; there were some leaders in the troop who were truly dedicated but when you've got something good, it seems there's always got to be some peckerhead to try and spoil it. Heh, I guess that prepared me for adult life in a manner of speaking. I only lasted a couple of years, but that was primarily due to personal politics amongst the so-called adults.

The Scoutmaster (?; the adult in charge) called the cops when I was driving underage and spun tires in front of the troop when they was leaving.

She was furious that I had not used "Ma'am" in speaking to her. I didn't linger in Cub Scouts. I ran into trouble in Cub Scouts early when I said “huh?” to the Den Mother.

I was thrown out of Cub Scouts after three weeks. Apparently it was something I said. Can’t say it did me any good. I was thrown out of Cub Scouts after three weeks.
