Nice! I've created a couple of Lego Boy Scouts. I usually add the handkerchief piece around their necks to complete the ensemble. I created them a couple years ago along with a gay scout leader figure for a little bit of social satire.

That is just awesome. I don't know what else to say. It's just so...so comical and funny but so well-done too.
Can I please be allowed to copy that picnic table design? I love it!

I got back from a boy scout canoeing trip a day ago. We went 25 miles... my arms are so sore...
Of course, you left out the more notable things we do on scout trips other than conoe: sit around playing magic the gathering( a card game, if you didn't know) and washing by hand all of the extremely dirty pots, pans, cooking utensils, and mess kits.
Anyway, I loved your story and models

Hi all,
Thanks for the feedback. A few quick things:
The table - well, I'd like to claim credit, but that's straight out of set 3535:
[url]http://guide.lugnet.com/set/3535[/url]
The elk is also not my design. I took that from Reed Anderson:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=66749
The eagle was my own design, but also inspired by Reed.
Neckerchiefs! Shoot, I knew I was missing something. Oh well, I don't have any of those in red anyway (do they even make those?).
The tents: I was proud of that design. I tried to do something in my Tolkien story:
[url]http://www.ozbricks.com/bricktales/lotr ... 09-08.html[/url], but thsoe were more lean-to than tent. This design uses these pieces:
2 x http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=4625
2 x http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=4213
2 x http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=4081b
2 x http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=2555
3 x http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=578 (one of which is just sitting on the top held by gravity)
The flag: It's been 15 years since I was at Scout camp, so I wasn't sure whether the red stripe is on top and the white on bottom or the other way. I was happy to see that I guessed right (or that my mind hasn't completely given way).
[url]http://flagspot.net/flags/us_bsa.html#flags[/url]
I didn't have any way to put a green 1x1 in the middle, but oh well.
Did anyone notice that it's Timmy who picks up the poisen ivy to show his friends?

As far as I know, no. I use white. You could use the torso from one of the Adventurers figures that has the neckerchief printed on, but then your scouts have a pistol tucked in their belts. Also, the open shirt and not quite straight neckerchief looks somewhat less than boyish/masculine.Bruce N H wrote: Reed.

Thank you. I was unaware of this (and too lazy to check myself). If I ever revamp my own scouts, I'll keep these in mind.xxbattosaixx wrote:They do come in red:
