I am surrounded by fucking idiots!

I have been working on my Boy Scout Eagle Project for over a year now. I've weathered it through three separate hospitalizations, and over a semester's worth of school missed due to illness. Nevertheless, I have been doing everything that has been expected of me for this fucker, and more. For God's sake, everyone I know just "clears a path in the woods DUUURRR!" for their Eagle Project, which makes me wonder how only 10% of the Scouts in the US are awarded the Eagle. I'VE gone into the town cemetery which has literally thousands of graves, MAPPED the fucker, and found the locations of every single dead soldier from the Revolutionary War onward.

And even when I'm THIS close to finishing the fucker, the two committees in charge of the cemetery still find a way to foul it up. Y'see, these two bastards don't like eachother (one member from one committee didn't invite a member from the other committee to a tea party or some shit), and thus cannot communicate. Because of this, I have been kept in the dark about more that 30 soldiers that I did not even know existed..

...

I had the map COMPLETED and TESTED, and now they wanted me find 30 MORE OF THESE GUYS? In a decripid, old, poorly documented gravesite? Because THEY fucked up?

Fine, whatever. I did it, didn't like it, but I did it.

Now, several months later, my paperwork is in. The clock had stopped. I no longer had to worry about finishing it before my 18th birthday. So long as I got my Board of Review within 90 days after I turn in the application, I'm good.

WHOOPSIE!!!

Oh, it looks like the "volunteer" at the local council has missplaced my application. Oh don't worry, it's only been 4 WEEKS! Now I need to run around because...hmm...let's see...THEY fucked up...AGAIN!

Am I surrounded by idiots...or is this just politics as usual.

This is far more scathing than my normal post. I'm not usually like this. I will understand if someone wishes it removed. Oi...

Sounds like a combination of pissiness and general incompetence. Sorry to hear about it, dude.

I have been working on my Boy Scout Eagle Project for over a year now.

All this drama for a Boy Scout project?

Get some perspective. Soon.

*twitch*

...Say wha?

How would you feel if something you've been pouring your time and energy into through a year and at least a months worth of hospitalizations goes down the shitter because a bunch of fuckheads don't have two dollars worth of reason?

Lecture me NOT about "perspective" my good sir. And we'll both be a lot happier...

Wait, you're 17, you're going for your Eagle, and you only just realized that the people in positions of authority above you are dumb fucks?

Wow, you're either blind or really, really tolerant.

Wow, that sucks. I guess I was lucky with my project, mostly 'cause my dad was in charge of the park we did it in.
Nope, we didnt clear a path in the woods, we went and hacked, sprayed, or diced every single invasive plant species in the entire 20-something square miles of the park, that we could find anyway.
Arent you supposed to get the rest of your troop to help in some way? I thought half the project was organization of other people.

There's a reason I said "fuck this shit" just as I started my Eagle project. Three paperwork misplacements, an approval and a retraction of my project, and a delay of a month that would have been absolutely perfect for doing the work drove me to the edge. I dropped off of the face of the earth, as far as the Boy Scouts are concerned.

How would you feel if something you've been pouring your time and energy into through a year and at least a months worth of hospitalizations goes down the shitter because a bunch of fuckheads don't have two dollars worth of reason?

I would never invest that much time in something so inane and unimportant as the Boy Scouts. That's what NS General is for, and, well, I wouldn't get this pissy over it. Ever.

Don't be a drama queen and create threads about it if you don't want to hear that your little "problem" is so terribly insignificant and, well, pitiable, but not in the "ooh, poor starving war refugee" kind of way, but in the "self-absorbed Westerner with perspective issues" one.

I've been working on it since I was 16 (my birthday was in July, so that may explain the discrepancy). I've not had to work with the Council until very recently.

Well, now I know not to trust volunteer organizations.

And my tolerance has a limit. If you look above, you'll see I have gone beyond that.

Bag, I'd like to give you a bit of insight into the differences between the Boy Scouts of America and their European counterparts. I was involved with scouting for a long time, and I enjoyed a goodly amount of it. I had loads of experience with American Boy Scouts (obviously) and a healthy amount with Boy Scouts from Europe. The BSA takes itself and it's role far more seriously than the Scouting organizations of Europe do. They both have totally different characters.

An Eagle Scout award in the US is considered by many to be very, very presitigious, it shows a level of fortitude and character that is well above the average. It says a lot, not only on college applications, but job applications. Not only that, but, as a personal achievement the Eagle Scout award is a tremendous personal accomplishment. It is the pinnacle of years of effort, and to have such a handful few frustrating things getting in the way, so shortly before the deadline, well, that's really rough. It breaks a lot of people, including myself.

Don't be a drama queen and create threads about it if you don't want to hear that your little "problem" is so terribly insignificant and, well, pitiable, but not in the "ooh, poor starving war refugee" kind of way, but in the "self-absorbed Westerner with perspective issues" one.
It's a central part of his life. If it's important to him he has the right to talk about it here. Some of us might just have some ideas to help in out.

It's called the "General" forum for a reason.

Well, now I know not to trust volunteer organizations.

no reason to be a jerk to the guy if you dont approve of what he spent his time on. cant you at least feel his pain when it comes to working hard for an accomplishment and having it not go your way repeatedly?

yes maybe you think he is overly worked up about it and that may very well be true subjectively, but havent you ever been upset about something that was most likely trivial to others but wanted to vent and have a bit of support?

sorry this has all happened to you Bolol - I'd take you out for frosted chocolate milkshakes while I told you that it wasn't worth getting so worked up over but I cant so my advice is to take some deep beaths and realize that this shall pass and being upset really isn't going to do any good (most likely it will do bad as anger and stress make your immune system suffer) and you will continue to be upset if you mull it over and over in yrou head. I've fallen off many a horse as well and can understand that it is frustrating.

Just do what you need to do and then let it go.

hope that helps.

The significance of the problem is irrelevent. The poor guy has put a lot of time and effort into something and been screwed over by everyone elses incompetence and stupidity. Getting screwed over because someone doesnt like you or you fucked up is one thing, but being fucked by someone elses stupidity is the main problem in our society.

The government fucks you, its because bush is a retard.
You get mugged. chances are the mugger was a fuckwit.
got run over, got to work late cos a train didnt show up, got a girl pregnant cos she promised she was on the pill and forgot to take it, got MRSA, all these things are because someone else is stupid.

It has to fucking stop. If we dont start putting dumb people in concentration camps the whole world will fall apart.

If he had another brain, it would be lonely.

Her sewing machine is out of thread.

His belt doesn’t go through all the loops.

An intellect rivaled only by garden tools.

Body by Fisher, brains by Mattel.

This must be one of those modern day merit badge activities. Either that or it's a novel way to apply to become an Eagle Scout

Calm down. Seriously.

I know how stress can affect your 'condition'

You need to learn to laugh at this kinda shit ;)

I'm not exactly what you'd call Boy Scout material. I look authority in the eye and spit in their face. However, I have some friends that are getting ready to become Eagles (they are one rank away, whatever that is). From what I understand it, the preparation and the requirements are very, very demanding, and if it were to be flushed down the toilet (with lots of money you spent on it I'm sure) in a single day, THROUGH NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN, I might add, why I think I'd personally shoot anyone that uttered the name Scout Master.

In other words, I sympathize.
