Scout’s Honor

Seems like those God-fearing Boy Scouts are under investigation: Boy Scouts Suspected of Inflating Rolls
Volunteers say paid Scout leaders have created fictitious “ghost units” for years to pump up membership numbers to trick donor groups and charities, including the United Way, into giving them more money. In some cases, the alleged membership scams do not even appear to have been very clever. Volunteer Tom Willis, a 1960s Eagle Scout who is also the father of two Eagle Scouts, says he was presented with a roster for a supposed group of 30 youths in Fort Payne, Ala. — each had the last name Doe.
So, you’re not only a liar, you’re a stupid liar. How could that be? I thought the Boy Scouts motto was “Be prepared.” Well, you know, after “Godless and homosexuals need not apply.”
