Cannibalism will surely make men out of boys!
It happens after he eats his first Brownie.
The joke “When does a Cub Scout become a Boy Scout? It happens after he eats his first Brownie” is a play on words involving different youth organizations and a double entendre. In the scouting organizations, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts are different levels, with Cub Scouts typically being younger than Boy Scouts. “Brownies,” in one sense, refers to a rank in the Girl Guides or Girl Scouts organization for younger girls. However, “brownie” is also a type of dessert. The humor arises from the double meaning of “eating a brownie” – literally consuming the dessert or metaphorically implying moving up in rank by interacting with a member of the Brownies.
