We just had this:
On my honour, I promise that I will do my best To do my duty to God and my country, To help other people and To obey the Scout/Guide Law |
Shit. I omitted "to help other people at all times".
No fair yours was abridged. That would have been way easier to remember. |
Ya, that's the Indian version. I went all the way to President's Scout which is the highest there.
|
I honestly didn't get all that far. I technically made it to First Class, but I never got my patch. Or my merit badges. We never had the ceremony.
Our troop kinda disbanded after it was learned our scoutmaster "scandalously" (read: we didn't give a shit, but the adults at the rec center we were at did) had been using our troop funds as a personal payday loan... he would pay it back whenever he did this, but it was the fact that he was doing it to begin with got him fired and banned from the building. So then, the new replacement leadership that stepped in suddenly told us we "weren't ready" for any sort of campouts or events that we were already enrolled in and that were already paid for- as in, the embezlement was a non-issue, but the new guy just didn't want to be bothered taking us. Hell, a couple of the campouts were FREE, pre-planed on OUR part, and we already had built the damn site OUT BACK where we held our own campouts. All the new SM had to do was supervise, and he didn't even want to do that. So, we just kinda gave a collective "fuck you", and attendance dropped substantially over the next few weeks. The troop folded about a month after that. Doubt I would have made it anywhere near Eagle Scout, though. That was just too much "schoolwork" outside of school than I was ready to commit to. |
After two years in Boy Scouts, I was still a Tenderfoot. I just wasn't into it.
|
I lasted for like 4 months, when I completed like 6 badges and they ended up giving them to this other kid because his name was also David and I got the one worthless badge he had earned that's when I knew I didn't want to do it anymore, especially when I told them and none of the scout leaders gave me more than meh for an answer.
|
On the plus side, I still have my neckerchief. I use it occasionally to tie back my dreads.
"Be prepared" indeed. |
I was looking through one of my dresser drawers at my parents and my Cub Scout manual was still in there along with a bunch of other papers/books I had when growing up, it was like my own personal time capsule.
|
Brawl, David as a scout should have gotten all the badges in the world just for that name.
|
I know, right?
|
|
Alan had an interesting reaction. This may be a character reveal after all.
|
Ya, but may also be Sinestro using his ring to make a Bigfoot if all they got is 100 yards. I also like how little Batman is a stickler for rules- how things change!
|
|
I feel bad for lil' J'onn there. He really wanted to help out.
|
I immediately thought of the sad walk from Arrested Development.
|
Hmmmm....
The light from flashlight is probably YELLOW Could that come into play later? Hmmmmm........ |
Good point.
|
To be a GL you must be fearless. Perhaps a situation will come where they won't be able to use the light. Enter flashlight.
|
|
Sinestro is SUCK a dick.
|
Drama incoming. And he has way more opportunity to sabotage things then we speculated.
|
He's going to get the shit scared out of him and have the yellow ring of fear created.
|
Ohhh
|
While all this is going on, Batman is supposed to be on a real date.
|
|
THE ADVENTURE IS ON
|
|
Bruce Wayne doesn't dial.
|
Bwahahaha
|
that is perfect
|
|
Long division is legit.
|
I'd bet all the money in the world that he has Alfred pick her up without him.
|
To be fair, he did try to make it into an actual date instead of just riding horses.

Traditional of course.

When I first saw that pic in my tumblr feed, it didn't load the comparison right away, so I thought Yale got a sanctioned blessing from DC and got giddy... still pretty cool, though.
