i will die mad that i didn’t get to be a boy scout

#like what benefits came from being a girl scout ? weird religious stuff? #not knowing basic life skills because even at 'camp' you can't learn shit for survival? #the boy scouts growing up went ZIPLINING and cooked hot dogs over campfires and shit #and what'd we get? i'll tell you what we got we got fucking pyramid scheme 101 #a very clear hierarchy largely built not upon the work the actual kids would do but the influence their parents have #standing outside ALL DAY sweating your ass off begging for old people to find you cute enough to buy cookies #like i didn't learn shit from that what!!!!!!!! #oh ig i also got an awkward interaction w my high school english teacher since his daughter was in my troop at one point uhhhhh #like damn i just wanna know how to tie knots is that really so hard !!! #i still think there should be a scout type thing for queer people who had awkward uncomfortable scouting experiences #like it'd be a really good way to get to know different things #like it could be likee basic skills learned in the scouting groups we weren't able to be in #but it could also be likeee some more specific stuff from political action to sex ed #oh oh oh and ALSO you get merit badges :0 #this particular thing i'd want to be an adult thing though to be clear #idk im slightly high and thinking a lot
