A Boy Scout saves President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom of the Maldives from assassination by grabbing the attacker’s butcher knife. The kid sustained a serious injury to his hand but is expected to recover. President Gayoom can be thankful that this particular Boy Scout was prepared.

As many probably don’t know, the Boy Scouts is an international organization. It trains boys to become responsible young men, encourages them to practice their faith and to learn self-reliance and brotherhood. That’s why I give my money straight to Troop 440 in Durham instead of passing it through the United Way. When the UW began demonizing Boy Scouts, I decided I didn’t need them as a middle man anymore.
