Fort A.P. Hill, Va. -- Four adult scout leaders from Alaska were killed Monday afternoon in an electrical accident that occurred as they were setting up camp at the Boy Scout Jamboree, a gathering of thousands of scouts and leaders from throughout the world, officials said.
One person with knowledge of the jamboree operations, who spoke on condition of anonymity because an investigation is under way, said a pole intended as a support for a tent had come into contact with an overhead powet line.

BOWLING GREEN, Va. – The Boy Scouts marched onto the field singing, plopping down in the grass to wait for President Bush. But hours later, the news that Bush couldn't make it was drowned out by sirens and shouts as hundreds fell ill because of the blistering heat.
About 300 people, most of them Scouts, suffered from dehydration, fatigue and lightheadedness Wednesday – just days after four Scout leaders were killed at the national Jamboree while pitching a tent beneath a powet line.

Calif. Scout, leader killed by lightning
FRESNO, Calif., July 30 (UPI) -- A Boy Scout leader and a teenage Scout were struck and killed by lightning during a storm in Sequoia National Park, The Los Angeles Times reported.
God must really not like the Boy Scouts. :lol:
-
That's horrible.
It was pretty stupid of them to sit out in the heat for hours to wait for Bush.
-
is this supposed to be funny?
-
I guess, but D's definition of humor is, I guess, Equivalent to pushing a guy in awheelchair down a flight of stairs.
-
Heh heh heh heh. :lol:
Wheelchair.
-
I'm an Eagle Scout, and any idiot scout leader that would let one of his boys get that dehydrated should be shot with the rifle he tought his scouts with.

Ha ha, lightning. Goddamn....

Yeah, really. If you're gonna risk death, it should at least be for someone cool, like a rock band or something.

No crap, I'd stand out in 100 degree weather to see The Rolling Stones or Louis XIV or some other awesome band.

Lightning Kills Boy Scout, Injures 3 at Camp in Utah

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 3 -- A bolt of lightning killed a 15-year-old Boy Scout and injured three others while they slept in a log shelter during a violent storm late Tuesday.
"There was a big flash and a big boom," said Stephen Morris, a trauma surgeon at the University of Utah's burn unit who was with the troop. "Somebody came running down the trails saying, 'Help, we need help.' " Morris said he tried for 90 minutes to revive the boy, who had no heartbeat.
I'm not sure why it's marked for Tomorrow but I guess that means it's going to be in Tomorrow's newspaper.
Damn, this is the third time scouts have died from electrictiy in the past 2 weeks.
-
o_o are these God's wrath?
-
I know what it is. The metal broaches that go with the hankerchiefs. They are lighting magnets. It just rips the lightning out of the sky....
...and into boyscouts. We need to ban these things, people.

Don't start with that.

I'd go back and stop myself from posting it, but I might encounter my past self. The consequences of that could be disastrous. The encounter could create a time paradox, the results of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space time continuum and destroy the entire universe. Granted, that's a worst case scenario, the destruction may in fact be very localized, limited to our own galaxy.

what's an eagle scout?

An even bigger Virgin.

So that must make you a Scoutmaster, huh Tom?
-
Eagle scouts are the ones that fly over and scoop up the boyscouts in their mightly baleen.
-
My dad made Eagle at 13, which was the youngest in the state (maybe nation?) in 1938. I have a newspaper clipping somewhere. He also took extra classes to graduate right after he turned 18 in 1943 so he could voluntarily join the Marines, but my mom said WWII patriotism be damned - he just didn't want to wait to be drafted to get away from my grandmother. :P
-
So that must make you a Scoutmaster, huh Tom?
Of the Nymphomaniac Girl Scout troop, yes.

So you DO have a vagina!

Around my dick? Yes.

EWW THATS THE MOST DISGUSTING MENTAL IMAGE EVER

Well he found someone to have sex with. It gives me a margin of hope in the saying "There's someone out there for everyone."

I'm convinced that the boy scouts are bad luck and no one should have anything to do with them if they so valve their life.
Falling Tree Kills Girl, 8, at Scout Camp
Wednesday, August 10, 2005
OCEAN TOWNSHIP, N.J. — An 8-year-old girl died and three others were injured Wednesday when a tree fell on them during a first-aid class at a Boy Scout (search) camp, authorities said.
The girls were participating in the class at an overnight camp when the 31-foot tree suddenly snapped, crashing through a tarp over a picnic table at which they were sitting, Police Chief Kenneth Flatt said.
"It was an accident. There was no warning. There wasn't a whole lot anybody could do," said Flatt.
The tree landed on the 8-year-old girl's head. She was pronounced dead at Southern Ocean County Hospital (search) in Manahawkin.
The other girls — ages 9, 10 and 16 — suffered minor injuries and were treated and released from the hospital. Their identities weren't immediately released. One girl suffered a broken ankle; the others had bruises and scrapes.
There were seven counselors on the scene at the time, and one who had been teaching the 45-minute first aid class administered CPR on the girl, to no avail.
The girls were among a group of 17 children from a northern New Jersey group called the Resident Camp Association (search). They were on a weeklong "Learning For Life" program at the heavily wooded, 600-acre Joseph A. Citta Scout Reservation, according to Ethan Draddy, an executive with the Jersey Shore Council of Boy Scouts of America.
The group had arrived Sunday and was to stay until Friday, Draddy said.
"We are feeling completely and utterly devastated," he said.
The camp undergoes a safety inspection at least twice a year, but it wasn't clear whether the tree was part of that inspection, Flatt said. It had rained overnight but there had been no lightning reported, he said.
The tree accident was the latest in series of tragedies to strike scouting-related activities this summer.
Four adult Scout leaders were killed in a July electrical accident in Virginia at the National Boy Scout Jamboree (search). Five other people have died this summer from drowning and lightning during Scout outings in Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah and California.

Jude Law is a slut.
-
Ha ha! Shut up. :lol:
But seriosly, how many times a century do you reckon a tree falls onto a person? Damn.
-
You pose an interesting question. According to the national Safety council (NSC) in 2002, nearly 900 people were killed by falling objects. As to how many of those were death by tree who's to say. I don't think very many. I think you would be pretty safe unless you are a lumber jack, forest ranger, or something.
-
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....I'm a Lumberjack and I'm ok!
-
No you're not.
-
Bah, I wish Joe where here.
-
So that he work all night and then you could work all day? :ph34r:
Yeah. Shut the hell up.
-
No, cause he is twice as clever and three times as handsome as you. =P
-
It's Joe's axe-wielding panache that keeps the hormones carbonating around here.
-
No, cause he is twice as clever and three times as handsome as you. =P
Go on...
-
See that's sexy right there.....
-
I wish he'd shave his back hair, but not the chest hair. It makes me feel all rugged.
-
Yeah....like a Lumberjack, that's what I'm talking about.
-
Hooly Crap.
-
Is that all you can say?
-
I remember when joe ate my chocolate cake.
Anyway, I think this is like one of those mystery/suspense thrillers. Some sicko was kicked out of the boyscouts and is committing a wave of mass murder to extract revenge. In order to maintain the lightning, he need only consult with his friend the mighty Zeus.

Eh, the nose bleed is back.

Tilt you head back and what until you choke on your blood.

Or suck it down and think of steak.
Mmmm, steak.

Eat Steak, Eat Steak, eat a big old Steer......

Boston Market needs to use the Revolting Cock's song Beers, Steers & Queers on their next commercial. That'll give all the good ol' steak house boys who wear those giant belt-buckles as girdles something to masticate their meat to.
