While hanging out with my teen at the farmers market job yesterday, I walked over to the main walkway intersection- and someone had dropped what appeared to be a dirty diaper in a bag in the middle of thecwalkway. Ugh.
So I got a dog dump bag, and removed it to a nearby trash can. 2 min job, tops.
Now, here’s what really got me though- It had bern there for at least an hour, within 15’(5m) of the Boy Scout popcorn sales booth.
It used to be if a scout saw trash like that, you just picked it up and disposed of it (aka: clear the area).
Not these guys (or adult leadership) - “Wanna buy our popcorn?”
Uhm, no thank you kiddo, not until you act like a boy scout should. (aka baden powell ideals)
(also friends: Don’t make this a Scouting bashing thread, please- because I lived through that- because for me, that’s NOT what scouting was EVER meant to be like & I hate the BSUSA leadership of the ‘90’s for what actually happened to scouting.)
