Semiotic Stochastic the Kidney Failer🇵🇸: More than once, a friend (who no one would ever call a redneck) has said that he never did Boy Scouts because he was “too much of a redneck.” Leaving aside whether he is/was a redneck (he wasn’t), does this even make sense? Do rednecks not do Boy Scouts?

My lawyers have informed me that it isn’t my place to say whether someone is or is not a redneck. I will revise my previous statement to say that he has spent his entire adult life in ways seemingly calculated to not appear to be a redneck.

Though now that I see that in writing, scrubbing one’s persona of anything redneck-adjacent might actually be a redneck thing to do.

Clearly I have much to learn about both scouting and rednecking.

Based on my scientific polling, the answer to “do rednecks do scouting?” is “maybe.”

What?

everything kids were supposed to learn in scouts is stuff a redneck would feel obligated to teach them himself, outsourced to The State. i was pissed when my daughter was taught "entrepreneurship" in girl scouts and not how to cut a bitch in close quarter fighting

people in my neck of the woods were mad about it for reasons that basically summed up to: Not Enough Gun, but could not get insurance for Gun Scouts, so they just pulled all their kids out

the funny thing is i think they did used to teach kids to shoot, but they dropped that along with teaching them how to start fires. maybe we should start antifa scouts, teach kids sabotage etc

damn woke insurance companies

what about my right not to wear a seatbelt!

My family and friends were all rednecks and we did Boy Scouts for sure Good way to go on some trips and pick up some skills you wouldn't get at home, like your buddy's dad who is an EMT shows the troop how to immobilize broken limbs

How do they pick who gets their limb broken?

It's a rock-based lottery

I worked at a scout camp when I was young and can confirm yeah plenty of rednecks although it does skew more middle class suburban white people

I'm a redneck and in my world the Scouts are like cops- we don't associate with them. Fancy ass cosplayers at best. Fucking neckerchiefs ffs.

Lol

Lmao 🎯

Fair, I imagine a lot of these people were more rednecks in self-image than reality

Like the idea that you learn how to make a fire at camp?? Lol- to rednecks that's a basic life skill. Scouts always seemed like bored rich kids to me.
