Confession time: were you a cub/scout/beaver/brownie etc?

[Les Biehn]

He proposed to me earlier, in a sort of way.

But you wanted to do it at Withdean so I bailed out.

 

[Man of Harveys]

So I'm totally out of the picture now am I? Am I?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Wonder if you'd get away with publishing this title now...

 

[Billy the Fish]

I got to collect THESE

Is that the spastic badge?

 

[Les Biehn]

Unfortunately I cant say a word because the man I am thinking of has threatened legal acction against me if I do.

Oh honey. It was all going so well until the avatar makeover.

 

[Man of Harveys]

I think BP concentrates more on the refining, trading and marketing of petroleum these days, not giving advice on cruising for underage boybum.

 

[Nibble]

I think when you come to Withdean there should be a half time Thunderdome fight between Les and MOH. Two men enter,one man leave! Ginadim, my dear, you will be the prize!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Is that the spastic badge?

In those, less enlightened, days, there probably was a Helping The Spastics badge, or a Caring For Retards one.

Unfortunately the badge you refer to denotes my Six, which as previously mentioned was the Gnomes.

And no, I've never seen a Gnome that looked like that either

I'd rather play him at football.

I really don't think I'm worth fighting over. Although, that would be decent entertainment to compensate for the extortionate ticket prices.

Ok

I was in none of these mini-me armed forces, and have only two points to add;

1. Edna. What is it with you and uniforms?

2. Gina. Where is this picture, you tease?

I don't think I've ever faught over or for a lady in my life.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Now I know why you joined the old Bill Edna.

Uniform Fetish!

I bet you have all those bits hanging off your belt like some of the sadder bizzies I see who think they are in the climping S.W.A.T team or something.

I was a Cub (10th Birkenhead)
And a scout, but can't say that I got much out of it, other than an ability to put up a tent in the pissing rain.

Apparently there's some kind of data protection issue regarding pictures of children, which some of the cadets are. I can't really crop myself out of the drill squad photo, you'd only get my feet.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Edna. What is it with you and uniforms?

Never thought of that

But I ditched the Guides fairly early on, so I don't think I'm dangerously obsessed. Can't speak for the Brownie uniform (which in my day was a sack-like brown dress with yellow tie and brown socks), but I'm quite happy with my current one, it has certain benefits

 

[Mendoza]

Well?

I was a brownie. And a damn fine one too

I got a STACK of badges to stick on my lovely brown uniform, which included all the essential ones for girls, principally House Orderly (cleaning/ironing), Sewing/Knitting and Cooking. Going to Brownies mainly seemed to involve dancing round a toadstool, the occasional church parade if it was Remembrance Sunday, and getting shouted at by Brown Owl for playing football in the Guide Hut.

So, did any of you go Scouting For Boys, as it were? What badges did you get (Camping, anyone?)?

And who's prepared to admit to having been a Beaver?

I think you know my answer

You're a closet Scouser!

As for the kit, definitely not. You do get the odd geek with half of Millets hanging off their belt, but frankly I prefer to be able to run (if I have to) without creating more drag than an Elton John birthday party.

Minimalism is the way forward...

Not a scouser EK, enforced relocation as a child.
