Obozo’s idea of a boy scout is Larry Sinclair.

It would be better if Her Royal Majesty Queen of England, Britain, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales came a spoke. Especially since Scouting started in in England with Lord Baden Powell.

Roger that!

It would even be appropriate for BP’s or William Boyce’s (founder of Scouting in the USA) descendants to attend/speak.

That would bring it home IMO.

That’s cool.

Do you know if the Troop is still operating?

I don’t know if this photo was out of context, but Obama is NOT giving the Boy Scout salute here— looks more like the heavy metal devil horns salute.
