Wow, the Boy Scouts in action, saving lives. Maybe they can even save this nation.

Quick story about the Boy Scouts that I posted on another BSA thread:

About six months ago I bought a few boxes of ‘First Day Covers’ at an estate sale. I found one commemorating the Scouts 50th. Located the closest troop and sent it to them. A couple weeks later received a letter of thanks from the Scoutmaster.

Two days ago while Freeping someone drove into our driveway and I saw a young man in a Scout uniform and his mother get out of their car. Went downstairs and was greeted by their smiling faces. The young man (about 15 years old) introduced himself and handed me a First Day Cover of the 100th commemorative stamp. He had just got of a bus after an 8 hour trip from the Jamboree and hadn’t even been home yet. As tired as he was, he insisted that his mom drive up to deliver this most precious gift to me.

Damn! We need more men like this ‘kid’!

God Bless the Boy Scouts.
