Bloomturd a Eagle Scout??????!!!!!!!!!!!

[SgtHal75]

Just saw this across the intrawebs, “ Bloomberg’s experience as an Eagle Scout will put him in front of Dems”. Thank god I never became an Eagle Scout if that’s what there putting out! Lol! Can any Eagle Scouts chime in and offer where they went wrong with that tyrannical POS?...

[bottle-cap]

He might not have been a POS 50 years ago.

Bloomturd... the worst thing ever to come out of Medford, and that includes the crooked cops and local politicians

 

[omega42]

This goes hand in hand with the TV ads that are working at building a cult of personality around him.

 

[rep308]

Darth Vader was a nice guy at 18 as well....

 

[Lucas McCain]

I seriously doubt it. He is not Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean or Reverent.

 

[mac1911]

"Scouts" does not automatically mean "good"
i know 3 eagle scouts my age. They all went through the hoops but out side of scouts they where not the best of folks.

much like any oath its just words if they choose not to apply it.

 

[Lucas McCain]

True, the senior patrol leader of our troop (eagle) did time for murder.

 

[EMTDAD]

Yeah, look at this idiot. Not my son's troop but he knows him

Yeah, look at this idiot.

i suppose eagle scouts are people too, capable of doing not too nice people "stuff."

out of curiosity, i googled prominent eagle scouts. man, there's a bunch of people that showed up, some i expected, some i didn't and a whole lot of "oh wow" guys. didn't see bloomberg. he may be there but i scanned over the listings quickly.

for what it's worth, i was a cub scout...for 5 weeks...when i was a wee lad. the 7 year old chicks loved the yellow neckerchief for some reason, only time i was a chick magnet. the cub life wasn't for me, i moved on.

[Uzi2]

Bloomberg probably bought his way into that too.

 

[Arto]

Michael Moore too... his Eagle project involved filming

 

[one-eyed Jack]

Wonder if he has a merit badge for marksmanship? Jack.

 

[mac1911]

i think 30 plus years ago Eagle Scout was a "high" honor and looked good on your portfolio ?

 

[Tinkermatic]

 

[Broc]

When is the last time you checked if someone was an Eagle Scout when you were deciding of you could trust that person?

Thats right, never. So, why give a f*ck if a politician was one?

Nobody but the people trying to promote him care.

 

[Rehoboth Dave]

I got my Eagle back in 1977. That and three bucks will buy me a cup of coffee. It's mainly a merit badge grind once you get to Star or Life. The only thing it says is that once I was willing to put in the work to achieve a goal, nothing more.

 

[EMTDAD]

in the grand scheme of things, it's really just a big deal to the scouts and their families. Maybe on a new grad's resume it adds some value. After 25 yrs in the workforce, if it were still on your resume, maybe you haven't had enough other accomplishments in your career.

as for it's value.. I think it teaches the scout how to budget, plan, and complete a significant project. At least in our troop, we make the kids earn it. In this day and age, for a teen to actually earn something, rather than be handed it, is an accomplishment in itself.

 

[bottle-cap]

Class of 1987 and proud of it. It took a lot of hard work to achieve. Nothing was simply handed to me.

 

[Rob Boudrie]

It states that you did time on an org with a military command structure. Uniforms, troops, Patrols, rank hierarchy and insignia, etc.

 

[EMTDAD]

I think it also starts you out one pay grade higher as an enlisted serviceman.

 

[PatMcD]

It proves you can apply yourself and see things through.

 

[lowbuckbob]

Isn't there a minimum height requirement?

 

[Rehoboth Dave]

Maybe now but not in 1977. I waited the whole 6 months for my skeeter wings.

 

[SpaceCritter]

Be nice - he's a half inch taller than I am.

 

[Lucas McCain]

Among other things, it taught me to be self sufficient and how to survive in the woods.
