Stop in for a cup of coffee

Yeah, the BSA was schizophrenic as far as I was concerned. I got in a bunch of hot water for skipping lunch and dinner during Summer camp even though I did it because I was hiking and fishing the streams and lake and cooking my catch for my meals.

They wanted us to be able to be self sufficient and capable of surviving in the woods...but not at the expense of missing the group meals of Army surplus food they served in the mess hall??

They were also pissed that I earned my survival merit badge and never ate the single raw egg they gave me for the 3 days I spent alone in the woods. Why would I? I was having fire cooked sunfish and wild berries for dinner. I didn’t have time to mess with a single raw egg.

I didn’t last more than 2 Summers of that BS.
