So You Want To Be A Weirdo
How to Become a Weirdo Scout: Embrace Your Quirks and Join the Adventure!
Welcome friend to the wacky and wonderful world of Weirdo Scouts! Here, we celebrate all the delightful quirks that make you uniquely you. Weirdo Scouts at its heart is about making the decision to have a positive impact on the world around you, while staying true to who you are. We believe in progress, both in understanding and celebrating each other and ourselves. Becoming a Weirdo Scout isn’t just a title—it’s a lifestyle. Ready to embark on a journey filled with creativity, kindness, and a touch of quirky charm? Let’s get into how you can become a Weirdo Scout and start changing the world- the WEIRDO way!
Embrace Your Inner Weirdo
First things first, let’s get one thing straight: normal is overrated. Here at Weirdo Scouts, we celebrate all things quirky and unique. Whether you’re a sci-fi nerd, a history geek, or just a little unusual, there’s a place for you. So, dust off those eccentric hobbies and let your freak flag fly!
ACTIVITY
Start an “Oddball Journal” where you jot down all the things that make you uniquely you. Don’t worry about changing your mind about something you write down later, tastes evolve just like us. When you are feeling down about something or are struggling with negative forces of the universe, your Oddball Journal can be a simple reminder that your individuality is part of your strength. Share a quirky fact about yourself on social media with the hashtag #WeirdoScoutProud.
Spread Kindness Like Confetti
One of our core values is kindness. It’s simple—be good to others, the planet, and yourself. This doesn’t have to be big, over-the-top and noticeable; in fact, some of the kindest actions are the smallest. Engage in random acts of kindness, wave when you see your neighbor, volunteer in your community, and just share your positive energy with those around you. Remember, the world needs more kind weirdos and fewer frowns. At Weirdo Scouts, we believe that kindness is the glue that holds our quirky community together. Whether it’s helping a neighbor, supporting a local conservation effort, or simply smiling at a stranger, every act of kindness counts.
Activity: Perform a small random act of kindness and share your experience on social media using #WeirdoScoutKindness. Inspire others to join in!
Dive Into DIY Adventures
Get Crafty:
Weirdo Scouts love to create! We’re all about hands-on learning and making a difference. Start small with DIY projects like building a bird feeder, creating a rain garden, or upcycling old materials. From at-home science experiments to crafting your own puppets, there’s always something fun to make and learn. Plus, our tutorials and eBooks make it easy to get started.
Activity: Try one of our DIY projects from the Weirdo Scouts website and post a picture of your creation with #WeirdoScoutDIY.
Learn from the Past to Shape the Future
History’s Quirky Lessons:
History isn’t just for textbooks. Weirdo Scouts value the lessons of the past to build a better future. Whether it’s learning about historical death rituals or uncovering the stories of people who changed their ways for the better, we love diving into history’s oddities and unsung heroes. Plus, who doesn’t love a good time-traveling adventure?
Activity: Read about a historical figure who embraced change and share their story with #WeirdoScoutHistory. How can their journey inspire your own?
Respect the Mystery
Embrace the Spooky:
From the mysteries of the supernatural to the quirks of the cosmos, Weirdo Scouts have a special place in their hearts for the strange and unusual unknowns of the universe around us. Whether it’s a love for the macabre or a fascination with the placebo effect, we revel in the unexplained. Not every mystery out there has a solution (YET!), so just as Weirdo Scouts learn from our past, we also know that some answers are for the Weirdo Scouts to come.
Activity: Share your favorite spooky or nerdy fact about something we can’t yet fully understand with #WeirdoScoutMystery. Let’s celebrate the wonderfully weird together!

Our Weirdo Scout badges are a fun way to track your progress and celebrate your achievements. Whether it’s the “Curiosity Didn’t Kill Me” badge or the “Universal Translator” badge, there’s always a new goal to strive for. Each is designed to help break down and explain complex issues that we face in a modern world with a positive and empathetic twist. With a do-what-you-can attitude and a curious mind, earning Weirdo Scout badges can help you find your footing as we explore new horizons… together!
