I'm the world's worst boy scout,
I have a dull knife.
Some say there's doubt,
I could save your life.
I get lost in the forest,
I get caught in a bear trap.
I wave down tourists,
Fires start on my lap.
I'm no good at carving,
I burn all the meat.
And when I am starving,
Instead I use it for heat.
I lay out the tarp,
And put colored dots on it.
It looks pretty sharp,
When I play twister on it.
When I'm feeling brave,
I'll eat a fish fin.
And choose the cave,
Of the most bears within.
I'm the worst scout I know,
With the lowest rank of beagle.
Cause I took a compound bow,
And then I shot an eagle.

A very enjoyable read...I'm still chuckling! reminded me of what kind of girl scout I would've been if I had made it past being a 'brownie" .LOL The rhythm and rhyme were also a great combo.

That last line just cracks me up!
I think you might be serving time in a Federal Prison if you shoot an eagle! 
Such a funny poem... and your humor just blasts us all to heck with laughing.

Fun. You chose an appropriately rolicking rhythm and rhyme scheme for the poem. Nice sequence if unages/memories (at least my memories of being a scout).
Suggestion: The opening lines are the strongest because the work most directly within the rhythm; later lines tend to relax, become wordy at times. Tighten? -
okay now that we are all laughing that is a wonderful poem. You did a wonderful job of keeping the reader going from the first word to the last.

Dear World's Worst Bionic Boy Scout.
After reading your Poem "The World's Worst Boy Scout"
my heart has all the warmth of memories from
my own days of utter shame and failure at
being a Girl Scout. I don't think I ever wore
a badge that I didn't buy second hand off another girl...
hehehehehehe... me bad.
VERY WELL DONE Mr. Bionic!!! You've tickled my
funny bone so much lately that I have had to
have a funny bone marrow transplant.
laurie.
