I got a bunch of links to stories about Boy Scouts being struck by lightening.

You’ll have to be more specific.

At a Boy Scout camp in New Hampshire some scouts were taken to the hospital after lightning struck nearby. I think maybe the suggestion is made that the recent decision about allowing gays in the Boy Scouts may have led to a judgement from above. In other words, Westboro Baptist will soon show up with a "God Says Kill Boy Scouts" banner or something. Yeah, it's the kids' fault for joining the Boy Scouts.

Lightning strike burns 23 children at Gilmanton Scout camp

>>Twenty-three Scouts, ages 12-16, and three adult counselors who sought shelter in lean-to suffered electric-shock burns after lightning struck the lean-to at Camp Bell Boy Scout Camp in Gilmanton Monday night. None of the injures were life-threatening; most were minor. Six of the 23 suffered "somewhat serious" burns, Fire Chief David Parenti said. Seven of the Scouts had very minor burns, he said. "All 23 of them had burns of some sort," Parenti said. "But even the six (burn victims), we worry about the chest, but they weren't burned too bad, really." Parenti said he received a call at about 7:30 p.m. from camp officials saying there were numerous campers injured when lightning struck a lean-to.
