“I was a Cub and Boy Scout, and I can say it was a great introduction to becoming a man.”

Same here. We had a great Scout Leader. He was big on community service, camping skills, fishing, all the typical classic woodcraft, first aid, and threw some physical fitness in there for good measure. Us boys thrived with that strong male leadership. (1970s-80s)

Lack of sleep? Drugs? Pride? Or just plain stupidity.

It was an early afternoon accident. Rural road. Unmarked crossing. No lights or bells. Just tried to beat the train I guess.

I would beet that there are MORE of such unmarked crossing all around the USA than the ones with the bars & lights.

Bravo to those Boy Scouts. I’m glad they were safe, but I’m wondering, how did the media know they were boys? 🤓

Just as long as it wasn't naked Boy Scouts on bicycles waving Rainbow Flags.

Oops, I think I just gave Seattle Pride an idea for next year!!

You would be correct... Hillsborough County has a few unguarded roads without gates or lights... Just a stop sign and crossbucks..
