#boy scout book

[parisoonic]

I was reading a sci-fi book featuring Russain cosmonauts and the book mentioned the phrase 'Ни пуха ни пера'. I was tickled by the similarity to 'break a leg' BUT it has a call and response ('Go to hell' or 'to the devil with you') - who doesn't love call and response??

Heavy, you'll get a more playful response when Medic isn't hyper-focusing on the days battle plan.

#tf2 #tf2 fanart #tf2 medic #tf2 heavy #tf2 scout #tf2 spy #tf2 demoman #the book was moonseed by stephen baxter it was pretty good but i mainly enjoyed it as scotland got blown up #medic is so rude...i'm so sorry russain speakers if this is off and wrong. i started this a month ago and it seemed like a good idea then #and now i just wanna post and be done. stephen baxter don't lead me astray #but imagine heavy teaches everyone and they all chant 'go to hell' before fights #and the other team hears this through the shutters of their base......'boys they're doing that thing again'

Insignias scout: coleccionando recuerdos

¡Hola gente!, Quiero contarles que soy fanático de coleccionar cosas scouts, en especial insignias scout. Mi colección es mucho más que parches de tela, plástico y metal, es como un cofre lleno de momentos que marcaron mi vida. Algunas de estas insignias me las regaló mi abuela y otras cuantas me las regaló una tía a quien quiero mucho.

Otras, en cambio, representan mi camino en el mundo scout. Cada una simboliza un paso adelante en mi aprendizaje, crecimiento y las habilidades que fui sumando en el camino. Pero, entre todas, hay una especial: la insignia de responsabilidad que me gané en la tropa scout Cromañón. Esta insignia no solo es un reconocimiento, sino también un compromiso con los valores scouts: responsabilidad, liderazgo y ayudar a los demás.

En mi colección hay insignias de otros grupos, algunos son de otros países, y las más antiguas son de plástico, otras son coloridas y algunas con bordados, Hay insignias viejas y otras más nuevas, todas representan un orgullo para mi. Los dibujos son muy variados y creativos y todos en su conjunto representan un paso por el tiempo. 

Es como un recordatorio constante de lo importante que es ser scout y servir a los demás. Cada vez que miro a mi colección, me teletransporto a un viaje lleno de emociones, donde el esfuerzo, la dedicación y el compañerismo se mezclan con los recuerdos. 

Como ya dije estas insignias son más que pedacitos de tela, plástico y metal; son como testigos en este apasionante mundo del coleccionismo. Son el reflejo de mi viaje como scout que aún sigo recorriendo.

Y sé que no soy el único en esto. Hay millones de scouts en todo el mundo que también coleccionan estas cosas. Aliento a mis hermanos que construyan una caja de recuerdos y puedan tener su colección de insignias. ¡Es un hobby que nos une a muchos scouts! 

 Hasta la próxima. ¡Siempre listo!

Asunción, diciembre 2023

Nota: si alguien quiere colaborar con mi colección y regalarme alguna insignia, será bienvenida !!!

Children's books with queer characters must be banned. According to the same people who ran chapters of the Boy Scouts out of their churches, an organization that was founded by a known pedophile, that lobbied against mandatory staff background checks for 30 years.

But for 95 years it banned openly gay men from serving. So I guess we see what everyone is genuinely worried about.

ok honestly strakk should literally just betray them

like. he was coerced into joining a battle everyone expected to die in, and when they were given one last chance to back out, strakk specifically was forbidden from doing so - TWICE - when he clearly wanted it.

and still, the other characters turn around like damn guys strakk is kinda shifty i hope he doesn't betray us :/

if you know someone is a backstabber, force them to fight for you and then get stabbed in the back.... well idk what to tell you????

strakk would be perfectly valid if he betrayed them all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#idealistic scout boy gresh says it's okay to trick someone into joining a suicide mission if they are mean #also strakk is literally not as bad as the book wants me to believe. #strakk #bionicle

[quotesfrommyreading]

Baden-Powell knew that more and more boys were joining the Scouts, but he wanted to find out just how popular the movement was. He organised a rally at the Crystal Palace for 4 September 1909, to see how many would attend. Not only did 11,000 Scouts turn up, but much to Baden-Powell's surprise, standing in the front row was a group of girls wearing Scout hats and holding staves.

“What the dickens are you doing here?” he asked.

“Oh, we are the Girl Scouts,” they said. Sybil Carradine, from Peckham in South London, and her friends had seen the boys going off to have fun with the Scouts and decided to copy them. When they heard about the Crystal Palace rally they put on their uniforms and marched straight through the turnstiles.

“The devil you are!” Baden-Powell declared.

“Please, please,” they replied, “we want something for the girls.” To their utter amazement, he said, “You'd better take part in the march-past at the end.” At that moment Sybil and her friends knew they had won; and it was the girls whom the photography of the event in the Daily Mirror depicted standing at the front of the crowd.

Gus and King deserve to sit in the woods and tell each other spooky stories and light things on fire and build forts and use illusion magic to create gross imagery to spook each other with. Glyph heated s’mores, hitting each other with sticks, manhunt, games with convoluted backstories, kids stuff.

#the owl house #king clawthorne #gus porter #they are children!! #the youngest people in their social groups! #mattholomule is on thin ice in my book but he can hang #Hunter assigns himself Child Caretaker because he loves to have a job #and Eda foolishly said something along the lines of ‘good now there’s a more responsible boy to watch them’ #but ten minutes later he’s getting baited into doing challenges for penstagram #and telling them creepy pasta he heard during scout training #and showing them cool survival tips #like how many insects are edible #a surprising number! #here he’ll demonstrate #god Willow probably kills at hide and go seek and manhunt and all those feral middle school games #the trees are her coconspirators #Luz and Gus are close runners up #for ruthlessness and innovation (Luz) and trickery (Gus) #but none of them have the forest like willow does #amity sweet girl gets tagged out instantly she is a city child #but she brings the snacks so it’s fine #gus and king are so…. #they are little boys

((Awyeah bby golden!)) Belos was currently searching for his nephew, not because the boy was in trouble but because he had a surprise for him, he had been behaving very well and good behaviour should be rewarded after all

Child Verse Asks | Always Accepting!

The six-year-old boy was currently curled up in a cozy spot in the castle library, minding his own business mostly, with at least three stacks of books around him. And.. these weren’t really children’s book, but considering the intelligence of the child in question, that wasn’t entirely surprising. Really, it was the subject material that was likely to be a problem.

For Hunter had found stacks and stacks of books, regarding Grimwalkers. Not necessarily about how to make them, but quite an expansive collection of legends about them. A fourth stack of books rested at his left, all books he’d already finished, and those were ones regarding diplomacy and politics, as well as military strategy and the history of the Boiling Isles. But the one in his hands now.. only a couple dozen pages or so in, was a large tome regarding Grimwalkers and their history. And he was fully engrossed in it.

He was so small in the large armchair in the corner, remarkably small for his age, but the fact was that he was highly intelligent, and of course.. that intelligence led to curiosity, and curiosity, especially regarding the wrong subjects, was very much a problem around this castle. When his uncle entered the library, Hunter hardly even noticed. Perhaps a brief twitch of his ear to acknowledge the sound of someone arriving, but his eyes never left the pages of the book.

#;; the golden boy (hunter) #;; the littlest scout (child verse) #uh oh #he’s definitely finding books he shouldn’t have #I imagine the castle has a massive library #and a pretty decent collection of books about Grimwalkers #but I imagine that after something like this #Belos hid all of those books away to keep Hunter from asking questions

Reasons why Animorphs #23: The Pretender is gay propaganda:

It’s narrated by Tobias.

The line “We are… we can’t hold hands, Tobias. We can’t dance. We can’t go to a movie together…” exists in the 90s.

The title is clearly a call-back to “The Great Pretender” by Freddie Mercury.

Tobias says “gay” and means gay.

#animorphs #tobias #please excuse my live tweeting in the tags but #right as I was typing this post I got to the part of the book about Elfangor and I started screaming #guys I thought this was just gonna be another wacky kids adventure #but then Tobias started talking about local a Boy Scout troop kicking out the gay neighborhood kid and while I was distracted by that blow #Applegate had the audacity to drop the Elfangor news #I promise I’m a reasonable adult with reasonable adult interests

Hey @horrid-little-pedant I can make you a Boy Scouts/international Scouting movement imperialism/colonialism/not-so-crypto-fascism syllabus if you’d like but for a first tantalizing taste here is:

Fig 1) Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts and the Scouting movement, on the swastika symbol, from his 1917 sequel to the classic manual Scouting For Boys, entitled Young Knights of The Empire. Its companion book, for Girl Guides/Girl Scouts, authored by his sister Agnes, was called How Girls Can Help Build Up the Empire. The Baden-Powell family, prominent British military aristocrats, were instrumental in the British colonial expansion re: South Africa. Baden-Powell’s inspiration for the Boy Scouts was the Mafeking Cadet Corps, a group of child soldiers formed by Lord Edward Cecil shortly before the Siege of Mafeking that secured Robert’s place in annals of imperial military history. His niece Betty later became--I am choking and wheezing and coughing up a hairball getting this phrase out--Scoutmaster for the. Girl Guides of North Rhodesia. Do not even get me STARTED on, uh. The Peace Light of Bethlehem (tl;dr it’s a program inaugurated in Austria circa 1986 nominally to help ~handicapped children, but of course. In 2005. The International Commissioner of Austria symbolically passed the Peace Light to a delegation of Scouts and Guides from the Palestinian National Authority, comma, just after the Oslo Accords. And then in 2007 a delegation of Guides and Scouts from Austria, Germany, France, Jordan, Israel, and the PNA--by the way, all but Jordan and Israel are part of the Catholic international Scouting branch that generally, depending on region, ‘pledges allegiance’ to “[country], God, Church, and Christian Europe”--they symbolically lit the ~*~Peace Light together. In. Bethlehem. Scouting is the most fucked-up Bad Internationalism movement in the world.)

Fig 2) The Rodlo symbol was designed by a woman who was part of the Polish minority population in Germany, she went to a Sokol (also Scouting!!!) gymnasium, she got a scholarship to study with Wladyslaw Skyoczylas and other modernist naive folk-revival painters at the school of fine arts in Warsaw, she survived the war, she got into this bizarre movement of neo-pagan anti-clerical pan-Slavist ‘nationalism’ that confirms every single thing I said in my undergrad thesis, she wants to take these symbols back from Hitler and stress the uniqueness of the Polish-German border regions that are neither like, fashy Catholic nationalist Poland nor fashy-flavor Germany, unfortunately that’s not how history or visual semantics work. She says it’s ‘rod’ plus ‘godlo’ (pretend it’s a liquid l) but it’s rodnoverie, we know what you’re about, Joasia--or rather, if you have to give a paragraph-long disclaimer every time you present your lovingly-rendered symbol, you gotta just let it go once it reaches critical mass and recognize that that your defensive disclaimers come across as “my t-shirt is raising a lot of questions that are answered by the shirt.” Anyway. This Harcerstwo troupe named after...the Harcerstwo movement that became a WWII paramilitary and subsequently Catholic anticommunist movement adopted it as their symbol. They’re from a small town in the Katowice region and they are. Well. If you don’t want everyone to think you’re fascists then maybe don’t be a paramilitary organization with a Hitler Youth lite flag (if you put the Rodlo on the Polish flag...it’s...it scans as the swastika on the...they know! They’re not oblivious, they do 500 WWII memorial actions per year!). And don’t have your scouts swear fealty in military fatigues while doing the seig heil to the Slavic Hitlerjugend flag in the woods. Ya dig. Their website is like “why are our enrollments declining :(” 

idk man maybe your town’s teens want to smoke weed under the bridge and not be put through boot camp after school

Un colombiano en Yaguarón 

¡Hola gente! En esta ocasión les vengo a contar la experiencia épica que vivimos, junto a mis compañeros scouts durante el campamento del 14 y 15 de octubre de 2023, con mi Comunidad de Caminantes AMANDAJE del grupo Scout N° 10 Niño Jesús de Praga. Resulta que decidimos  realizar un campamento en la cima del cerro Yaguarón, distante a unos 50 km de la capital Asunción. 

Fue una aventura increíble desde el inicio porque muy temprano nos dirigimos hasta Yaguaron, y a las 10:00 aproximadamente iniciamos una caminata por la ciudad dónde pudimos conocer el “Paseo de los Mitos” que nos permitió observar murales alegóricos a los 7 monstruos de la mitología guaraní: Teju Jagua, Mbói Tu'i, Moñai, Jasy Jateré, Kurupí, Ao Ao y finalmente Luisón. Visitamos también varios lugares como la casa del Dr Francia, la iglesia de San Buenaventura y finalmente el imponente cerro Yaguarón.

Luego de un breve descanso al pié del cerro, mochila al hombro iniciamos la escalada. Ya en la cima, armamos nuestras carpas y comenzamos a compartir anécdotas entre nosotros. 

A la tarde mientras disfrutamos del atardecer tuvimos la oportunidad de conocer a un mochilero colombiano que estaba recorriendo América. Este chico tenía historias fascinantes para compartir, y su espíritu aventurero nos inspiró a todos porque en cierta medida los mochileros son muy parecidos a los scouts, también les gusta viajar mucho y conocer lugares.

Nuestro nuevo amigo de unos veinte y tantos años de edad se destacaba por su bondad y profundo amor por la naturaleza. Lo más sorprendente de él era su habilidad para tocar la flauta de manera excepcional, no una flauta moderna, sino una tradicional y fue justo en ese momento que tuvimos la oportunidad de disfrutar de su arte. 

En el cerro Yaguaron tuvimos muchas experiencias extraordinarias y la más sorprendente fue sin duda conocer a esta persona que agregó una dosis extra de emoción a nuestro campamento. Este intrépido viajero nos contó sus historias de travesías por Venezuela y Brasil, y cómo su pasión por las experiencias al aire libre lo llevó a recorrer Paraguay, aterrizando justo en nuestro campamento.

Mientras veíamos el atardecer nos contaba sobre sus travesías y cómo encontrar formas creativas de financiar su viaje. Desde hacer artesanías hasta lavar platos a cambio de comida, este chico nos enseñó que la verdadera magia está en vivir cada experiencia al máximo.

Gracias a su carácter, establecimos una buena relación, especialmente con uno de mis jefes: Heber, quien es conocido por su enérgica personalidad. Después de una conversación prolongada y amena, el joven continuó su camino.

Así que, la próxima vez que se aventuren en una travesía, recuerden la cima del cerro Yaguarón, las historias del mochilero colombiano y la magia que se encuentra al explorar la naturaleza. ¡La vida está llena de sorpresas y aventuras emocionantes! Y este genial encuentro que tuvimos, se convierte en una de las mejores anécdotas que, junto con mis compañeros, la vamos a recordar siempre.

 Hasta la próxima. ¡Siempre listo!

rather moldy copy of the 1913 australasian boy's annual that i picked up in an op shop down south last summer. the plate in the front says it was presented to one James Pye for 'first class attendance' at christmas of 1913.

#attendance to what i don't know #possibly scouts due to the fleur de lis motif but could also just be a school... though chairman seems more scouting #also the chairman has the same last name .. maybe a brother #cool piece of history for $10 anyways #boy's annual #annual #australian history #new zealand history #australasian history #australian books #1910s #10s #vintage books #antique books #old books
