Bad Boy Benny ... by Huck Treadwell

[RememberSchiff]

...Benny’s shirt had “Bad Boy” on the back. I’m not sure if his mother told the Den Mother that was his name or if Benny’s reputation preceded him and the Den Mother put it on the back of his shirt to make him easier to identify.

Much to my surprise, Benny turned out to be pretty good at Cub Scouting skills. He made a leather belt, started a fire and caught a fish. But … he used the belt like a bull whip, set the Scoutmaster’s shoe on fire and put the fish in the Den Mother’s purse....

A funny short read about Cub Scouting back in the day when black eyes were more prized than well anything.
