Perhaps the Boys Scouts are just desperate for corporate sponsorship now that the ACLU has made the public sector inaccessible to the little tykes.

Fortunately this is only the Los Angeles area, I would hate to have to work copyright enforcement into our next camporee.

And to think we dropped the rabbit raising badge.

Next up: Pfizer sponsors a merit badge for education on (1) how good it is to use name-brand drugs rather than generics and (2) hoe bad it is for third-world countries to infringe on patents for AIDS drugs?

It’s nice to see the Boy Scouts adding Defending Capitalist Investment to their traditional agenda of Excluding Gays. It really rounds out their political agenda nicely; it’s like they have a whole party platform now!

Let’s hope they offer a “fair use” badge, for transformative, noncommercial uses that don’t harm the market for the original!
