    :icon_redfok well i forgot about this tomarow i have to go camping with a boy scouts troup my dad signed me up for a long time ago.
    I really don't hate camping but i hate camping with the troup because of 2 things
    1: i HATE when every one calls me: man,dude,bro,ect
    2: we all have to share tents and i feel really akward sleeping in a tent with a guy
    The only person I don't feel akward with there isn't a scout and she thinks im wierd
    The reason i don't feel akward with her there is because she is a girl (well duh)
    well any advice will sufice

    This really sucks - you shouldn't have to be in a Place you're not comfortable. I take it you feel like you. "have" to do this?

    I love scouting & camp

    Well the BSA are officially against gays, but how are they on trans? o.0

    I was in the scouts for awhile and never had to share a tent. I did bring my own, so that's probably why, but it's not a forgone conclusion.

    yeah, ask if you can bring your own cool one "man" tent!!! :grin: you can set it up yourself and maybe earn some kind of badge too?

    I am sorry you hate camping, any reasons? I LOVE LOVE camping!!!
    I had to do it with girls, I was a scout too.
    They really suck, mean some of them.
    But I find my fun in it anyways.
