"Baddison" Wilson here: I was an Assistant Scoutmaster to the Corps in 2005-2008. I recall my first meeting back was on my 25th birthday. You guys made me a better person. I learned sleight-of-hand magic as a result of all the downtime, and the constant audience. I ran the BOSS scouts and coordinated that with Doug Fletcher who was incharge of the first year program.

I remember how much we owed to Bartow for getting you guys your own meeting. The Executive Council was hillarious. The scouts only had so much power, so it was all bluffing... but freshmen would actually listen to their demands. Bartow, Loomis, and I really tried to back you guys up, but every meeting things got ridiculous.

I remember how noone ever wanted to cook or buy campout food, so I would have to bully freshmen into doing it. In spite of this, I recall a never-ending criticism of our food, by scouts unwilling to help with it! I guess you guys payed $10, and expected 2 gourmet meals delivered on a tray to your tent like hotel roomservice. Didn't happen.

Man it was difficult to get you guys to pick up your trash! We could only force you to do it right before we served dinner and breakfast.
