You did better than I did. Was in the Cub Scouts about 2 years (1967-1969), and never advanced past the Wolves. I guess I didn't have enough merit points or something, so in the spring of 1969, I was like, enough of this. I was in #488, which met in this church:



Wasn't all bad. I got to march in the Brooklyn Day parade (probably in 1968, as that was my only full year in the Scouts). Also in 1968 (may have been the Saturday before Memorial Day) we went on a bus trip to Washington DC. My mother had to take me to the church to board the bus at O Dark Thirty. Apparently, the car was in the shop overnight, so we walked down to New York Av/Empire Blvd (stop was right in front of the Seven-One house) and took the B44 to the church. Got a 5000-series Flxible, where the rear door light wasn't working. By then I had ridden buses enough to know the sound that it made when activated, so I'll told my mom, I'll let you know when the door is ready, and I did. I guess she walked over to Nostrand and took the B44 back home (only a couple of blocks from where we lived). The trip was cool, we went by the Smithsonian and a couple of other places. Then we switched to a cool TDH-5303A Fishbowl, painted orange, great A/C (it was hot that day) and a cool sounding engine, to go to Arlington National Cemetery. We got back after dark, and I guess during the day, my mother went and got the car, because she picked me up in it.
