FScouter Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Here's a "high adventure" story. There was a TV program on PBS recently about Big Foot, discussing the scientific validity of the various sightings over the years. Apropos, there is a write-up about a recent sighting involving Scouts in the April issue of a reputable national magazine. Quoting the story: When the creature known as Sasquatch or Bigfoot crashed into their campsite at Magnus Pedis State Park in Washington, the Scouts of Troop 685, Meh-teh, Ore., were prepared. The guys tackled the intruder and used bowline knots to tie it up until help arrived. Authorities agree the legendary beast has finally been captured, and the Scouts are being celebrated as heroes. The media frenzy surrounding the troop has the guys stressed out. Were planning our next trip for someplace less exciting, Eagle Scout Harry Henderson, 16, says. Maybe Roswell, N.M. " Does anyone have any further details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GernBlansten Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I doubt the story. Scouts would never use a bowline to tie up bigfoot. I think a timberhitch would be more appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA_Scouter Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Well, I don't want to brag, but we captured a Bigfoot on an outing a couple of years ago. Actually, I think he captured us, because we were frozen in fear, but that's beside the point. What most people don't know is that these are highly intelligent and evolved creatures. So much so, in fact, that he showed up at our next scout meeting and did a Skillbase on wilderness survival. We wanted to sign him up as a MB counselor, but, shoot, we can only find his footprints now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGreyEagle Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Hey, as I am about to go off and staff a COllege of Commissioner Science this weekend, I resemble that comment, and will keep a look out for the Big Foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWScouter Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 FScouter, turn the page for, "the rest of the story." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR540Beaver Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 If you cook them correctly, Sasquatchs are some mighty fine eating. Can feed a whole troop......maybe two. The only problem is finding a dutch oven large enough to fit them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwd-scouter Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Did you guys notice the adds on this page changed to stories about Big Foot and the Loch Ness Monster? Ever been to the Lodge Outlet Store? They have huge dutch ovens - may have to chop Big Foot up first before cooking, though. I've heard it's a little greasy but tastes like chicken.

FScouter Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 Don't be fooled about the references to "April Fools Day". After word of the capture leaked out, I suspect the government forced BSA to add that part in to allay suspicions. The video is pretty convincing, and the 18 second gap makes one wonder what was going on. Are all the Scouts REALLY accounted for? And what about Magnus Pedis state park? Why would the government allow BSA to publish the location of the capture. Me thinks it was really down in northern Calif near Humboldt State U. The place was crawling with dark colored Dodge Coronets about the time the news broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGreyEagle Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Personally I wonder if Harry Haenderson's Scoutmaster is John Lithgow You know while Sasquatch stew will feed 30 scouts, if you have 32 scheduled for dinner you can stretch the stew by adding a rabbit although some people object to finding a hare in their Sasquatch stew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
