DURHAM, N.H. (AP) — Ten-year-old twins Tatum and Ian Weir aren't about to let matching, minor injuries deter them from their goal of becoming the first sister-brother pair of Eagle Scouts.

"I cut myself, too!" Tatum said, pausing only briefly during a recent Cub Scout meeting to touch her thumb to her brother's before continuing on with a woodworking project.

Ours is a strange, strange world.

I once knew this girl who wanted to join the Key Club, but she didn't have a key.
So, she joined the Country Club.  :whistle:

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Ridiculous.

Not that older boy scouts will mind. But cub scouts should be allowed to have something for themselves.

Boy Scouts was much more fun than Girl Scouts.  I was an honorary dishwasher at a campout with my brothers (and mom and dad). It was still more fun than Girl Scouts.  I hated those sellathons.

Why don't the Boy Scouts sell cookies?

I know this a dumb idea....but how about the girl scouts create programs that mirror the boy scouts?

Nah...too easy I guess.
