Wrestling in the woods, rubbing down my fellow scouts with calamine lotion, packing six into a tent... I loved scouting, and I'm sure glad it won't be tainted by homosexuals.

It's terrible that they would kick a kid out of the Scouts for being gay. They should tie him to a tree and beat the shit out of him.

I guess my 'Gag-Reflex Suppression' merit badge is pretty useless now.

As long as the Girl Scouts are straight, that's all that matters: No way I'm buying Do-si-dos from a lesbo.

All those kids who find themselves kicked out of conventional scouting are free to attend my first annual North American Man-Boy Scouting Association Camporee. Bring your trunks!
