Why do the Boy Scouts seem so much more fun & exciting than Girl Scouts?

The Boy Scouts do stuff like carry Swiss Army knives, archery, survival skills, outdoor cooking, car derbies, fishing, whitewater rafting, building things, playing sports, etc.

Girl scouts sit around and gossip and sell cookies. Yawn.

I think this is one reason feminists petitioned to allow girls join the Boy Scouts. I never heard of men petitioning to have boys join the girls scouts. Who would want to?
The Mrs: No, thank God.
Yeah when the girl scouts do go camping, they go to have slumber parties and gossip. And they do stuff like pick flowers and paste them to construction paper. I’ve seen it.

The boy scouts actually set up their own camp and it was all part of the adventure. Guess who set up the camp for girl scouts? The boy scouts. I remember, because when I was a boy scout I had to set up the girl’s camp. I pitched their tents and brought them firewood. And did their fishing. The good part about it was, that I was adored by a few of the girls and got to have sex with some of them later on.
Miss Tristessa: I don’t know what Boy Scouts organization YOU’VE been to. But, the Boy Scouts I was in had none of that. Our leaders were very respectable and it was exemplified in our group as a whole. How dare you try to disparage a positive thing for kids. It keeps kids out of trouble and shapes them in to be productive adults.
Pat: I’m not religious and I joined the Boy Scouts. And gays can join.

Would it be weirdo for a 17 year old to become a Boy Scout?

I want to be a Marine, and a survivalist, and I figure the boy scouts would give a lot of useful tools for just that kind of thing.

Some help with camping skills?

I’m a college male who is a little on the old side to join something like the boy scouts, however I would still love to learn some of the unique trivia and lesser-known skills of camping (I’m talking about backpacking or survivalist style camping, not car or camp site camping). These skills could be anything from how to create a make-shift shelter, build a fire (and cook on it (maybe even without cookware)), learn how to tie knots and there uses, foraging and hunting food, or anything in between.

So, I’m asking for any recommendations on reading material, websites, or videos as well as any personal advice that you would like to share. (My goal is to eventually get to a “survivalist” style where I need to take only the bare essentials (yes, I know this will take many years to get to).)

Thanks for all your help.

I know boy scouts learn survival tactic’s like tying knot’s and starting fires with sticks… but what do girls learn for their future? I know it helps in them getting used to hanging with girls and developing that skill but if you know please fill me in.
