I'm not sure that this will win the Boy Scout vote for Bush.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) -- The federal government and the state of Utah sued the Boy Scouts of America on Tuesday for nearly $14 million to recover the costs of a 2002 fire at a Scout camp.

The lawsuit alleges that about 20 Boy Scouts ages 11 to 14 were left without adult supervision for a night outside an approved campground. Some of the boys built fires that were left to smolder and spread across more than 14,000 acres, the lawsuit says.


It was interesting to look at all the BSA related ads on this news site (CNN) showing boy scouts where they can buy uniforms, badges, wooden nickels, etc., off the internet after they had digested the story about the feds suing their organization.
