Be Prepared

So apparently this is a photo of the The Scout Association of Maldives' next rock star.

All I can say is that my Scouting experience was a distinctly mixed bag as reflected in three years of effort leading only to a rank of tenderfoot and merit badges in: swimming, sportsmanship and computers.

Just looking at this guy, I can tell he is a way better scout than I ever was. Compare him to the guy next to him. Hey, guy next to Rock Star --- your shirt's not tucked in. And maybe Rock Star didn't have to button the top button, but jeez he looks so much better, you--- guy next to him --- don't even have your pocket buttons buttoned. And comb your hair is too long, hippie!

Anyway... it's clear why Rock Star was able to thwart a knife-throwing would-be assassin. A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, brave, cheerful, ninja, clean, and reverant.
