  • Passing Masculinities at Boy Scout Camp
    PASSING MASCULINITIES AT BOY SCOUT CAMP Patrick Duane Vrooman A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Joe Austin, Advisor Melissa Miller Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Berry Jay Mechling ii ABSTRACT Joe Austin, Advisor This study examines the folklore produced by the Boy Scout summer camp staff members at Camp Lakota during the summers of 2002 and 2003, including songs, skits, and stories performed both in front of campers as well as “behind the scenes.” I argue that this particular subgroup within the Boy Scouts of America orders and passes on a particular constellation of masculinities to the younger Scouts through folklore while the staff are simultaneously attempting to pass as masculine themselves. The complexities of this situation—trying to pass on what one has not fully acquired, and thus must only pass as—result in an ordering of masculinities which includes performances of what I call taking a pass on received masculinities. The way that summer camp staff members cope with their precarious situation is by becoming tradition creators and bearers, that is, by acquiescing to their position in the hegemonizing process. It is my contention that hegemonic hetero-patriarchal masculinity is maintained by partially ordered subjects who engage in rather complex passings with various masculinities. iii Dedicated to the memory of my Grandpa, H. Stanley Vrooman For getting our family into the Scouting movement, and For recognizing that I “must be pretty damn stupid, having to go to school all those years.” iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I never knew how many people it would take to write a book! I always thought that writing was a solitary act.
