we would play a game called "hot butter and blue beans"hide an offical scout beltthe person that finds it beats the hell out of the other scouts until they reach a safe zone.person doing the beating has to say hot butter and blue beans upon discovering the belt before the beating takes place person that found the belt gets to hide it nextalso we would play paintball except with bb gunsand flour bomb campouts...take flour and put in into rolled up paper towels. Use these to play capture the flag.
They let girls in the Scouts now? I suppose they have to really nowadays don't they? Do the Brownies and Girl Guides still exist then?

YMCA = Young Men's Christian Association, yeah?It sounds like it's quite a different thing in Norway Medic. Over here I'm sure it's just an organisation to help people who've fallen on hard times - not a youth "group" as such, and certainly no uniforms or anything.

For the uniform it’s just a shirt with all the badges that you have earned and the classic scout scarf.

I think it's an American organisation originally is it?
Baden Powell started the Scouts - I meant the YMCA
