Hi, I’m Christian. When I was a little kid I was a cub scout. But then, I quit.

I’m not really sure why, and I’ve kinda regretted it for 20 years, because I do love adventure and gear and making stuff and uniforms and patches and badges and setting arbitrary goals for myself.

Now I’m 30 and I want some adventure and I’m not allowed to be a boy scout. So I’m gonna do it it on my own. I’m gonna do the entire curriculum of scouts from Cub to Eagle in one year.

This is Old Scout.
