I didn't even know that they had Boy Scouts in Maldives, but this article in USA Today caught my eye. Apparently, a teenage scout in full uniform saved the president of Maldives when a potential assassin came towards him with a knife.I don't know what kind of popularity ratingPresident Maumoon Abdul Gayoom is scoring these days, but the articlemade me wonder whether a Boy Scout here in the UnitedStates would be as quick to risk his life for George W. I generally think of the Boy Scouts of America as a pretty conservative organization, especially in light of articles like this one from early December, but I wonder if an Eagle Scout would be willing to jump into harm's way and fight for President Bush. Heck, I wonder if I would.
