No, how to kiss dudes, etc. is not a part of Boy Scouts.

How to…

  1. do a two-person arm carry (both styles).
  2. use a boot/shoe as an arm brace, since it is approximately the same length as your forearm.
  3. love 50 mile bike rides through Wisconsin
  4. understand the fact that you cannot ride a bike head-first into a ditch, and not crash
    • Mistakes are made.

  5. measure objects to a decent degree of accuracy, since a fingertip is approximately one inch.
  6. build many types of campfires, with three main ones:
    • Teepee Fire
