Dear Boy Scouts: I hate you. -God

Exhibit A: SALT LAKE CITY -- Lightning killed one Boy Scout and injured three others while they slept in a shelter at a mountain scout camp, authorities said Wednesday.
Exhibit B: Last Thursday, an assistant Scoutmaster and a 13-year-old Scout were killed by lightning in California's Sequoia National Park.
Exhibit C: Four Scout leaders at the National Boy Scout Jamboree in Virginia were electrocuted July 24 in front of several Scouts after they lost control of a metal tent pole and it fell against a power line.
For those keeping score, that's GOD: 7 Boy Scouts: 0
