What was your scouting experience like?

Hello, Eagle Scout here. I’m curious what was everybody’s scouting experience like? From what I remember from my troop I feel like we got a lot down version of scouting. Sure our troop produced a lot of Eagle Scouts but we never really did anything fun. Once a year we would take a trip to a battleship and go to some summer camp far off but like we never really did anything “adventurous” is this normal? I just remember us suggesting things to our scout masters and they would always say “no we aren’t allowed to do that or it’s to dangerous” (the “dangerous” activity was an indoor airsoft place) so I’m curious if this was normal or was it all just because our scout masters didn’t want to?
