I actually ended up being an honorary Brownie after I was kicked out of the Cub Scouts for being a bad influence on the other boys (I openly questioned the organization’s lack of religious inclusivity). Since my mom was a Brownie leader, I just started hanging out with them.

I greatly preferred the Brownies. Their activities involved a lot more creativity, learning, and collaboration. Our suburban Cub Scout troop was almost completely focused on macho competitive crap like the pinewood derby races. Perhaps I would have enjoyed the experience more if there had been some camping.

By the way, where can I sign my daughter up for Geek Scouts? :)
