As a scout leader for 30+ years I am not thrilled with the depiction

No, I am totally thrilled that a few are going for congress. My political bents are not (well, I am an old fart, my father for several presidents in the 60's was a White House advisor) I will support my scouts nomatter what. Their political bent and public statements are honest. They know I am watching them.

Scouts represent what is good and great. Not really "cool" in this day and age, but needed. I have earned a lot. many different religions, all based on learning/committed to community.
