I created this fundraising sheet and took to social media as a way to avoid two things:
Number 1: door-to-door selling. Words cannot adequately express the exquisite disgust I feel for this particular practice, so I was obviously reluctant to turn my son into that which I hated most.
And Number 2: directly asking friends, family and coworkers for—what really amounts to—a donation. This way, I got to dish out all the guilt with none of the eye contact.
Also, it's not too late to support him yourself. Seriously. You really should. Look at his face. COME ON. Here's the link:
Support a Cub Scout (and America).
