I was in the boy scouts for about the total sum of one day, I went to the meeting and some old guy was telling me what to do and didn't have very much patience, so I left.
The place was about six or seven miles from my house, which at that time wasn't to bad of a walk since I did it all of the time. The only problem was I didn't tell anybody, and when my mom went to pick me up and I wasn't there she freaked out. The police picked me up a couple of hours later while I was still making my way home, I had stopped by a friends house on the way back to my house for a couple of hours.
After I got home and told my mom the whole story, she didn't punish me. But the best part in my opinion was I didn't have to go back.
Another time I became involved with the avaition explorers, my friend and I had a business of washing and waxing airplanes at the local airport, which was good money, and we made alot of contacts with people that owned airplanes, so we both went flying quite often.
One of our deals was with the local flight school to keep their aircraft clean, when the explorers found out about our side job with the flight school that was sponsering the avaition explorers the rank and file members wanted in on our flight school business. My friend was president and I was a vice-president of the explorers.
We decided sure, and set a day in which we were to wash and wax two light singles, one medium single, and two medium twins. None of those sorry people even showed up, but the wanted to know how much flight time the "unit" had earned, the answer was zero. After that we both quite showing up for meetings, but kept our business going for a couple of more years.
As for the explorers, they voted us both out of office, but the sponser dropped them, and the unit disbanded shortly after that.
Well, sorry for the rambling, it has been awhile since I had thought about those times.
