The BSA's National Council is asking local Councils to organize decorating various areas with red, white, and blue ribbons to demonstrate support for the troops (I have no idea why they wouldn't use yellow ribbons - I hear there's a shortage). A year or so ago, they tried organizing Scouts to each donate $1 for the relief of children in Afghanistan. I don't know how much money was actually collected.

If you do a Google search on "Boy Scouts", and click though the news, you'll find numerous stories about servicemen currently serving in Iraq with BSA membership in their biography.

You will find a few whose BSA membership is being referenced in their obituary.
