I had a Scoutmaster, when I was a Tenderfoot Scout, who smoked a pipe around the campfire (when such behavior was acceptable.) I asked him once how he was able to keep it lit, as he tamped and re-lighted... the mechanics of pipe smoking were completely beyond my ken at that age.
He said, offhandedly, "I tend it like a campfire."
This advice has served me well.

My Scoutmaster didn't teach me how to smoke a pipe, but he did teach me everything else that's important in life.

Ha ha, me too. Though it was Cub Scouts, and I quit rather than getting flunked. Some of you may not be surprised that it was because I didn't like the discipline, the conformity, and the patriotism. Even as an 8-year-old I was a rebellious little punk.  |

Even as an 8-year-old I was a rebellious little punk. Yeah, technically I quit, too. I do hate discipline, but I also had asthma, which somehow doctors missed, calling it chronic bronchitis, which they had no real treatment for. So, like the other kid with asthma, with proper meds, I might have been able to walk a mile without my chest pounding |

I made it as far as Webelos and retired before I had to purchase a new uniform!
