Not OA or Eagle but some dam fine memories of scouting. Taught me a lot of useful outdoor skills and values that I use to this day and infused a love of the outdoors that has never waned. Our council had "Northwoods" camp just outside of Watersmeet, MI and I have very fond memories of my times there, building a bridge over the creek, paddling the Cisco chain and my initiation, to name a few. Oh, and the bears...
Also a very active troop with lots of campouts at the scoutmaster's farm, guns to shoot there, a rifle team and a pair of Bridgestone 90's to motor about on at his farm.
I find it a shame that scouting has dropped off so sharply. Don't think it was all due to pedophiles and lawsuits but that certainly did not help.
