I've done a search on the web and Café, but can't find many Boy Scout jokes. I'm performing for a Blue and Gold banquet and am looking for any jokes to use throughout the show. If you have any suggestions for jokes or tricks, I would appreciate it! Thanks!

P.S. I've already seen the one "Boy Scout" post on the Café.

I do know one but I'm not sure if you can use it. It's more like an Adult Joke.

What do do if you are lost in the woods?:

The scoutmaster was teaching the scouts about survival in the desert.
'What are the three most important things you should bring with you in case you get lost in the desert?' he asked. Several hands went up, and many important things were suggested such as food, matches, etc.
Then one young scout raised his hand.
'Yes Johnny, what are the three most important things you would bring with you?' asked the Scoutmaster.
Johnny replied, 'A compass, a canteen of water, and a deck of cards.'
'Why's that Johnny?'
Johnny answered, 'The compass is to find the right direction and the water is to prevent dehydration...'
'And what about the deck of cards?' asked the scoutmaster.
'Well, Sir, as soon as you start playing Solitaire, someone is bound to come up behind you and say, 'Put that red nine on top of that black ten!'

This one is my favorite (Baden-Powell was the founder of the boy scouts)

When the Camp was first being explored, a group led by Baden-Powell rode into camp on horseback. Being unfamiliar with the area, they became lost before too long. Suddenly an Indian approached them on horseback. Immediately behind the indian was a small black bear also riding a horse. Confused, Baden-Powell asked them which way to go. Unsure himself, the indian sent the bear ahead to check the area out. Before long the small bear returned and drew a detailed map of the area. Baden-Powell was impressed saying, "I didn't think that little bear could do that."
The Indian replied, "Haven't you ever seen a Cub Scout?"

A Scout was telling his fellow Scouts how getting the first aid merit badge had prepared him for an emergency. "I saw a women hit by a truck," he stated. "She had a twisted ankle, broken bones, and a fractured skull."
"How terrible! What did you do?"
"Thanks to my first-aid training, I knew just how to handle it. I sat on the ground, and put my head between my knees to keep from fainting.

After the Pack Meeting, a Cub Scout walked up to the Cub Master and said to him "When I grow up, I want to be a Cub Master just like you, so could you please do a better job".

These aren't all ready to use for your event, I'm sure, but with some adjustments, I'm sure you will find what you need. If not, I will find some links for you. Let me know, and PM me if you have any questions about this.

Amazing!

Here's my tiny contribution.

Q: What did the mechanic say to the scout leader, after he repaired his car horn?

A: "Beep Repaired." (Be Prepared.)

- Donald

Most Libraries have subscriptions to BOYS' LIFE magazine, and some may even have copies of SCOUTING as well. Both have humor/story sections. The last pages of BL are called "Think and Grin" and contain Scout-safe jokes, riddles, and one-liners.

Try the humor section of http://www.scouter.com as well.

P.S.--I've also used jokes off of Laffy Taffy wrappers and Good Humor ice cream sticks as a part of shows/bits for Scout audiences. These are not Scout-specific, but are of the type of punny humor that goes over well with a Blue and Gold audience.

I've been working on a top 10 list for this, but haven't gotten all 10. Maybe some of these will help you, and maybe some others could contribute some ideas as well. Here's what I have so far:
The Top 10 reasons to be a scout
10. Women love a man in uniform
9. Racing cars is not only legal, but encouraged (Pine Wood Derby, that is)
8. You get to play w/fire (safely!)
7. If your parents ever throw you out, you know how to survive in the wild
6. you can waste an entire day fishing & earn a merit badge for it
5. If someone asks if you go to church regularly, you can honestly say 'yes' even if you don't go on Sundays
Let's see if we can complete the list!

I was a boy scout until I was 15, then I became a girl scout!

I have used this a few times it goes over pretty good.
