As a scout, I look to the scoutmaster to set an example. He, of all
people, should be TRUSTWORTHY, LOYAL, and OBEDIENT. Although no scouts
were around, what if one had overheard his scoutmaster ask the OA to lie
and cheat to get a boy into OA. Is that really what the Order of the Arrow
is about? No. I wouldn't crucify the scoutmaster, but I would fault him.
He should know the difference between right and wrong and falsifying
election results is wrong.
YIS and OA,
