These are the typical headlines that become 'worthy of print' by Reuters or the Associated Press:

PEDOPHILE'S COLLECTION LIKE A BOY SCOUT MERIT BADGE

Alas, alas, you are all too right.
(Which makes the fact that this story even made it into print all the more remarkable.)

Wonderful story. I have heard and read about the Lost Boys and have seen some of their stories - a kind and industrious group they seem to be. Of course, they were persecuted because they are Christians.

Also, this is an example of why I give to the Boy Scouts. Not only because they are a great organization, but also because they are sticking to their founding principles and are getting attacked because of it.

Abur became a Boy Scout -- with Emerywood Baptist Church's Troop 2

Boy Scouts and those Baptists...
of course the mainstream media won't push this sort of pornography!

Should one need background on "Peter Pan's cadre of orphans" or the Lost Boys:

I am leaving to join our troop campout in a couple of minutes. I am glad that you posted this, it will be printed out and given to our Scoutmaster. I am sure that this will be part of our campfire tonight.

One of our eagle scouts is a Marine currently serving in Iraq. A second eagle scout that has been an assistant scoutmaster is leaving for the Air Force next month.

Went to the original article and printed it out. I am taking it to my son's Scout meeting on Monday.

Your post on Abur will warm my heart all weekend. Thank you for posting this. God is blessing him and I am VERY happy for him.

AS for the other headlines, God won't be mocked. He will have the last say and where they spend eternity will not be the same place as me - THANK GOD!

I sent the link to Drudge.

"He can walk 10 miles barefoot without any problem, while some Scouts start getting blisters underneath their shoes and socks in half that distance."

Yeah? So what, he's still a homophobe.

Thank you for posting this inspirational story. This young man is to be commended. I wish him well.

Boy Scout Bump!

Well we wouldn't want people to feel to good about the Boy Scouts now, would we?

What an inspiring story. Our church is sponsoring a Liberian refugee family with several children; they should be arriving soon. We'll have to make sure any boys of appropriate age get into the Scouts.
