Still More Thoughts

• Scoutings main function is to prevent kids from turning to a life of crime
• Scouting should be taught in the home i.e. cookers should be replaced by alter fires etc..
• All scouts should watch MagGyver
• All parts of the pen knife should be used at some stage and not just the blade for cutting barks of trees
• The only difference between hiking in the rain and hiking in the sunshine is that you have a legitimate excuse to feel miserable!
• Remember even if you can't sing you can still help build the campfire
• You should always keep a fire extinguisher close by in case you catch a scout smoking
• If you put a couple of sharp knives in your first aid kit no-one ever injures themselves!
• If you treat the axe as an extension of your arm be carefull who you shake hands with
• It is not wise to talk about conservation around a large campfire
• In scouting competitions fire lighters should only be used if you are convinced that you will not be caught
• De-caffinated coffee has NO place on a camp/hike -may result in mutiny among the leaders
• Remember hair dryers have no place in the backpack
• Remember if YOU don't do the shopping prepare to eat marshmallows for the week-end
• The best thing about being a scout is the fact that if you are ever kicked out of home you could camp out
• I have yet to see a fire lit by rubbing two sticks together -It's a conspiracy
• Leaking tents can be avoided by hostelling!
• Remember to do your good turn everyday - It is easier than getting out of bed
• Scout leaders are not politicians -they don't get paid
• If Scouts Canada was Nike Scouts Canada our uniform would be better
• Saving the planet or ending world poverty is far too much resposibity for the PL
• Remember to wear a neckerchief while purchasing anything
• The scouting trail is not the bible -Gideons don't leave it in hotel room
• If all lines of defences fail then the scouts will defend the country - if that ever happens book the next flight out of here
• Safety is paramount always -but still, thank god for permission to camp forms
• Don't teach scouts bad language as it would be inevitably out of date, so let them teach you!
• If campsites are always cleaner when you leave them you wonder how they ever get dirty
• Teach scouts to respect the public land by making them throw rubish into private land
• Teach the scouts to LEARN the law, promise and prayer -well! their hardly going to live by it now are they?
• Scouting should only be used in defence and not in the attack of non-scouters
• Scouts all think alike -'hope my friends don't see me in this uniform'
