How about Meriwether Lewis (1774 - 1809) and William Clark (1770 - 1838) Led a famous expedition to the Pacific ocean; both born in Virginia. Personally, I think they represent the spirit of the Boy Scouts better than General Lee. From a humble member of the Simon Kenton Council in Ohio.

I can agree with that myself. Did you know that Merriweather Lewis was a cousin of Thomas Jefferson? Both related through their mothers? Merriweather was also related to Washington as well.
