Dear God, I miss America. God bless the USA.
The tone to this video is serious and enthusiastic. The English is good. Depicts Scouting when packs, tents and a good portion of the gear was made out of canvas, not nylon or synthetics. A different era. Watching this video reminds me of my Scoutmaster from the eighties...I made Eagle Scout under his adult leadership of my Troop.
show me on the doll where the scoutmaster touched you
The further you go back in time the more awesome it seemed to be a Boy Scout.
yeah man, Boy Scouts was originally a military-adjacent thing
Sill is awesome. Male member, joined at 12 in 2017 and made Eagle last year. Greatest thing I chose to do in middle school and high school.
@@theastuteangleryes, originally, but it has expanded so much it doesn’t need to be. Scouting helps youth find paths for the rest of their lives across all career fields. I personally have started becoming a pilot because of the Aviation merit badge and the discovery flight Scouting provided me.
These lads must be living in an almost perfect point of time and place of all time!
Seriously. The late 1940s to the early 1960s were the absolute best and finest period in American history.
I was a Life Scout lacking only God and Country for Eagle. Attended the camporee in Vietnam 67-68
12:15 Those two wood-sided wagons. Beautiful.
Camp breakfast! Cook the Bacan first then use the grease to cook the eggs! The Best Times!
My Best part was the Raising of Our flag with the Scouts Saluting!
I WORKED AS A WEBELOS LEADER FOR ALMOST 15 YEARS with pack 733
Nice period piece showing the old Scout compass mounted to a jacob staff for setting out survey lines - anachronistic for wilderness hikes. Also shown is the then-new and much more practical Silva orienteering baseplate compass just coming into use.
now i just sets muh phone on a rock. aint gotta survey nuttin
"You guys know what to do. I'm off to uh Headquarters for a meeting." Classic 1st Lt. Norman Dike.
imagine ” PATROL AND TROOP CAMPING ” today, "hey, google, how to tie a knot"
Really cool video! It is terrible the events that have tarnished Scoutings reputation. I hope that the program can go back to what it was during its peak, without the terrible incidents that have come to define them.
you mean like allowing girls in?
That disease has been a part of Scouting all along.
Unfortunately predators love to hide on children adjacent groups and Religions. Equally as repulsive is the cover up. I sincerely hope that this can be overcome and steps will be taken to prevent such things from happening.
It was going on back then too.
It's gone forever, nothing can bring back what it once was.
I was a scout when America began loosing all decency in the sixties. Nearly all of my classmates were in the scouts. I enjoyed it while it lasted. Then kids began dropping off and the troops got noticeably smaller. All of a sudden being a scout and wearing a uniform was unfashionable. By that time we moved away and I had developed an interest in girls. So, that was the end of that.
The old saying was "you have to get them to Eagle before they smell perfume or gasoline." Somehow I managed to do all three in the decadent 90's but I barely made Eagle by 18.
Yes, I remember a similar transition, when Scouts suddenly became 'uncool'....a Webelos drop out here.
At its peak, the school cafeteria was filled to the brim with parents and scouts. The highlight of the Pack meeting was the end, we always sang Good Night Cub Scouts! Fond memories! At the end there two of us Webelos left, me and my friend, so we just dropped, sad.
Later 'was the SM for my 3 boys, two Eagles! Every kid should be in scouts!!
@PeriscopeFilm, I'm curious: How is it that this video was posted only "2 hours ago" _and_ has two comments that were posted "1 year ago" and one comment posted "4 months ago"?
Good question! We scan up to five films per day, five days a week. We only publish two per day, seven days a week on UA-cam. That means that there is a backlog of films waiting to be published, which are on UA-cam but hidden from public eyes. Occasionally someone finds one, either thought random Google search or another mechanism, and leaves a comment. So just because the film hasn't been published, doesn't mean people cannot comment on it.
@@PeriscopeFilm , I am sitting here wide-eyed at having learned what you've just told me. Thanks for the answer! I certainly will keep this in mind when I make the channel on which I intend to post public videos.
Gosh. If someone answered my phone-call the way she did, I'd think twice about ever calling again.
Do you guys know about which year this is?
is says 1948
1657
MCMXLVIII
Those boys in 1948 had more survival/life skills than most any man does now in 2024…
speak for yourself!!
Please. Given that the homeless kid ratio has skyrocketed, these 1948 kids would be babes in the woods today.
Talk about stiff and stern…these men at the kitchen table are serious.
1:53 🔫 💣 😊
So, what's wrong with this?
Iron Sharpens Iron.
Clearly, there were no merit badges for brushing up on acting skills.
I believe the acting could be described as the "wooden style".
In the 60's, our form of camping was an organized riot, never took food with us...just helped ourselves to other troops food when they were not around. Patrols were set ambushes with fireworks. I loved scouting..always an adventure
“ as above so below “ let’s solidify with a baphomet pose
To be PC, will we now just call it “Scouting” and mix boys and girls in the same camping trip? Maybe boys and girls can stay in the same tent? After all, we don’t have “boys” and “girls” any more.
Both better be prepared.
In the United States, it has been called "Scouting" for decades. The Girl Scouts allowed boys to join well over a decade ago, and girls have been allowed to join the Boy Scouts for years. It seems the kids don't have a problem with this. They don't feel so much sexist need to limit the opposite sex and to limit themselves: instead of focusing on the body parts that they use only a small part of each day, they focus on the parts of their bodies, including their brains, that they use all the time.
While the sexes have become less segregated in the last two decades, there have been other changes in American life: the average age at which people first have sex has risen; the rate of teen pregnancy has fallen; teen births have fallen; the rate of unplanned conception has fallen (most babies born in the United States are now the result of planned conception, not accidents and rape); the rates of rape and other sexual abuse have fallen; and abortion-rates have fallen.
These changes seem to be less the result of "political correctness" (which does exist and is stupid) and more the result of an increasing understanding of human feelings and of how to shape human behavior so that people can live better lives instead of being so subject to arbitrary outside limits, to accidents, and to their own loss of self control.
Pretty much all Americans use the words "boy" and "girl" in their everyday lives. Hardly anybody thinks boys and girls don't exist.
My opinion is that in the United States the Boy Scouts have offered a better program than what the Girl Scouts have offered, and that this has been true for decades. I'm glad that what I see as the better program is now open to girls, too. More than that, I'm glad that kids now can join whatever program appeals more to them without having to have you check in their pants to make sure it's O.K.

I am a current adult scout leader and there is tons of misinformation surrounding the admission of girls into scouting.
1. Scouting has NOT gone co-ed. You may have an all boy troop or an all girl troop. Boy and girl troops may be attending the same event but they camp and tent separately. No mixed boy girl in same tent.
2. The rank advancement requirements have not changed and remain the same for both boys and girls.
3. The mission of Scouting remains the same, to train youth to be good citizens and leaders. The difference now is that the program is open too ALL youth, not just boys
What is it about chubby 12-year old boys that makes grown men move from city to city, state to state to avoid the scrutiny
oh please tell me this country was never this lame?????
Almost everyone alive both now and then - white or black, poor or rich, man or woman - would say that life was better back then. That's a fact - if you don't believe me, randomly 100 people over 60 years old.
Back then people were friendly, communities were strong, education was good, there was no graffiti, there were no barking dogs, we had law and order, and things were cheap. Nowadays, completely the opposite is true.
You would have never survived.
Try learning all these skills without Google or UA-cam and then make comments about lameness..
@@BradThePitts Dogs didn't bark back then???
@@jaymeade9898 Well said.
ahhhhh the good ol Gay Scouts. more buggery there than in a catholic church.
