The Pledge – Colton McKeon, Scout Landon
I wanted to become an Elite Scout for years. When I first joined the Scouts, I used to see them set off on what seemed to be the most exciting adventures. They were so grown up and so confident. I longed to be part of their gang.
I worked very hard to prove that I was worthy to participate. For a long time I felt completely invisible. In the first year, I don’t think any of the Scoutmasters knew my name!
But then Scoutmaster McKeon joined our troop and I suddenly felt like someone was protecting me. He repeatedly told me how much potential I had – and for the first time in my life, I started to believe that. When McKeon finally told me he recommended me to the Elite Scouts, I felt like hugging him.
McKeon called me to the main office to take the oath. I was an absolute bundle of nerves and couldn’t sit still. As he led me to the bedroom, I noticed he subtly locked the door. I didn’t know why this was necessary, but I was quite pleased because it meant the moment could be more private and special. I was wanting to tell him how important he was to me and thank him for changing my life, and I realized that this might be a good opportunity to do just that.
Making the commitment involved him carefully attaching special pins to my shirt pocket and collar. I knew that wearing them would make me feel like a man, make me taller and prouder – and I was right. It felt like Scoutmaster McKeon was honoring and accepting me. I literally couldn’t wipe the smile off my face!
As he fastened the pins, I felt a surge of excitement. I looked into his deep, mysterious brown eyes. He looked so manly, so tall, and so authoritative with his mustache…
He sat on a chair and told me to approach him. I approached, a little nervous, but then he suddenly reached out and aggressively pulled me to him by my scarf. And there I was, right between his legs. It felt a bit unorthodox and unnecessary…
Then he started touching me in very strange ways. I really didn’t know what he was doing. It looked a bit like he was trying to massage me, so I assumed he was just trying to put me at ease.
It’s hard to explain, but whatever he was doing had me scared and excited. Sometimes it tickled a little and other times it felt a little rough, but when he started to touch me incredibly gently on my belly, the sensation made me gasp and shiver. No one has ever touched me like this before.
Then he started undoing my belt. Part of me wanted to tell him to stop – it was all too awkward and intimate – but another part of me was desperate for him to continue. The Scoutmaster was clearly running all over me, but I just didn’t know if the idea was terrifying or exciting.
He got up from his chair and stood behind me. I could feel him pushing his body into my back. My heart was pounding and I completely lost the ability to control my breathing.
