All the guys called the Olympic Village a high-class Boy Scout camp.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It was so much fun being in the Olympic Village and meeting all the athletes.
Growing up in the 1950s, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, boys were supposed to be athletic.
The sport in Scouting is to find the good in every boy and develop it.
I was never a Boy Scout, but oh, I wanted to be one when I was a kid about ten or eleven years old. But there wasn't anyplace where I could ever join the Boy Scouts.
Of course The Beach Boys will be camp.
No other youth group like the Scouts has trained so many future leaders while at the same time being a nature organization with its outdoor focus.
I always wanted to be a boy scout but was too poor. Couldn't do it.
In a bigger picture, all over the world is a boys' club.
Midwest kids got to summer camp. There is something very special about being away from your parents for the first time, sleeping under the stars, hiking and canoeing.
I never went to camp as a kid. I couldn't get into an Ivy League school. I wouldn't join a biker club.
