Did you really learn anything valuable as a girl or boy scout?

Answer 1

i learned how to start a rip roaring campfire. My boyfriend has the singed arm hairs to prove it.

Answer 2

If you count betrayal from a best friend, then yes, I did learn something valuable =)
I also learned that I'm more of a person who wants to sit in the corner and go home, then a person who wants to be the center of attention.

Girl Scouts was a bad vibe, just glad it was the third grade and not the eighth!

Answer 3

actually yes i was taken to a place to learn about fine dining. I still can remember what fork or spoon to use first and how to signal to the waiter your done eating by using your utensils.

I also learned how NOT to be a girl scout. I sold people boxes of cookies and forgot to write down their addresses. When the cookies came in I didn't know who to give them to. So we were stuck with like 20 boxes at my house. The next year when I went cookie selling I ran into some people who said.. "last year we gave some girl scout money for cookies and we never got the cookies" WOOPS.

Answer 4

Yes. Many of the skills in the merit badges I studied in Scouts relate to many of the jobs I've held in the past and currently. Knowing how to tie knots has helped me many times. Planning skills I learned when going camping helps me be more organized and think of all the things I'll need for a specific task.

First merit badge I earned was Home Repairs. Use those skills daily.

Now, ask what people learned of use in little league sports...
