When I was a Boy Scout our Scout Master drove a VW Bug. After our MIA/Boy Scout meeting I popped the hubcap of the Scout Masters driver side rear wheel put 3 rocks in it and put the hub cap back on the wheel. The hub cap was metal back then instead of plastic.
Scout Masters did not volunteer for the job they were told they had to do it so most of the time Boy Scouts was a sham. He was a real A hole to us boys.
So he got into his car and took off down the road with this weird noise coming from his tires. He was soon out of sight and we went back to playing some game. About 10 minutes later we hear this noise and he is driving his car really slow. Even slower than you think and the rocks in the tire are going tink tink tink every few seconds. The scout master gets out of his car and says he has blown a rod in his new car and has to buy a new engine. He is so upset. I start feeling sorry for the A hole and tell him his engine is ok and take the rocks out of his hub cap.
Even gets angry that I/we played a trick on him and his engine is not ruined. He was angry that his car was ok. I got to take my tenderfoot test 13 times. The paperwork always got lost.
I wish I had left the rocks in the tire and let him pay a tow truck to tow it.
Mormon Boy Scouts was such a joke compared to regular scout troops. I used to ask my parents if I could join a real troop. It supporting the church program was more important to my parents.
Did you have any fun experiences in Boy Scouts.
