Boy Scout Beard Ads
Nov 7th, 2011 by Coach Adam in Beard News
The Boy Scouts just started a pretty amazing ad campaign recently. Check these out!
They certainly grab your attention. And I can’t help but admire the beards (and whomever they actually grew on). They may be a bit unsettling. But maybe in an intriguing way? They’re fantastic? They’re frightening? My circuit boards are getting fried here.
What do you think? Too weird or too awesome?

it’s clearly photoshopped. Funny and shows that real men knows how to chop wood. Good advert for boy scouts
Just don’t be gay or an atheist.
They’re gonna be mad when they find out they have to wait a whole decade
Spectacular. So much so they inspired the following poem:
BE PREPARED
IS THE MOTTO OF A SCOUT
BE PREPARED
THAT IS WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT
SCOUTS ARE TRUSTWORTHY
LOYAL AND BRAVE
BUT DID YOU KNOW
SCOUTS TODAY
NO LONGER NEED TO SHAVE?
BE PREPARED
THE SCOUTS ARE GETTING FURRY
BE REPARED
IT’S THE HOTTEST TREND SINCE CURRY
AS A SCOUT TODAY
EVERY TOM, DICK AND LARRY
CAN EARN A MERIT BADGE
BY JUST GETTING HAIRY
BEARDS AREN’T JUST
FOR THE AMISH ANYMORE
SCOUTS ARE ENCOURAGED
TO GROW BEARDS TO THE FLOOR
MASCULINE LADS,
ALL STALWART AND VIRILE
SO WHAT IF THEY
LOOK A LITTLE FERAL
BE PREPARED
TO GO FROM BOYS TO MEN
BE PREPARED
TO NEVER SHAVE AGAIN
SCOUTS TODAY
DON’T LOOK LIKE A CHILD
THEY GROW FACIAL HAIR
AND ARE “ONE WITH THE WILD”
THEY START AS BOYS
ALL SCRAPPY AND SCRUFFY
THEY END UP AS MEN
ALL FUZZY AND FLUFFY
BE PREPARED
BE PREPARED
BE PREPARED
Someone has great photoshop skills evidently.
Like you said, they grab your attention, which is the overall point of any advertising campaign. I would think that a kid would see them and would be influenced to join the scouts.
Aside from that, I find them quite funny… especially the second one!
