Cub Scout Den Leader help


SCP

Recommended Posts

My 6 year old joined the Tiger Cub deal this year because they sold him on it at school. I figured what the hell? The pinewood derby and camping is fun. Now they have all this popcorn sales bullsh*t and the scout leaders put more pressure on you than any sales job I have ever had. Now our den leader is flaking out and leadership is being forced on me, even though I travel all the time and miss half the crap. So, my question is do I buy the uniform with pants or with shorts?

I am an Eagle scout. Don't admit to it a lot, don't remember really anything except the experience itself. I do believe it teaches young men great things (that are intangible like drive) but in the older ages you will get made fun of bad and unless/until you actually become an Eagle, it won't help with the ladies either...so make sure your son can handle being a dork for his 'whole life' (according to him) if he enjoys it. The light at the end is being an Eagle...I banged many chicks at church just with my status.

To seriously answer the question, you don't want to go camping or do merit badges in shorts for many many reasons. Them being that short more than doubles that list of various reasons.

It pisses me off because I knew this leadership stuff would fall in my lap. I already do the coaching thing. I sat there at that first meeting with my mouth shut because I did not want to be a den leader. Now all the other dad's pussied out and I'm having to do it all.

I had shorts for the first few years, but they have these zip off hybrid things that are useful. Look ghey as sh*t, but they're incredible when camping and ishh.

As for popcorn sales, our troop just dropped that and started selling Frazier Fur wreaths around Christmas. Make so much more money off of that than we ever did with popcorn.

Also, never let your kid drop out. It might get boring, but that Eagle Scout status has honestly helped me out tremendously. I've heard of some people who think more highly of their Eagle than their college degree.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
