According to <a href="http://www.thegreatilluminator.com/blog/?p=8937" rel="nofollow">this guy</a>, Obama is not the first president not to attend or appear at Jambo.<br /><br />I suspect the attitude about this comes from the fact that every president <i>since</i> Reagan has attended or appeared by video, so now it has simply become expected after 1964-1985 when nobody did. (Except I recall Pat Nixon attending 1973 East*, which is the one I attended that year...but I guess I've slept once or twice since then and could be remembering it wrong.) <br /><br />----------<br />* In 1973, BSA decided to split the Jamboree between East and West so more Scouts could attend. It turned out to be a logistical nightmare and was never repeated.Fuzzy Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802539927743643041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-27748925993818162592012-02-24T07:33:07.153-05:002012-02-24T07:33:07.153-05:00I am shocked, shocked to read that.

After all, there are plenty of girls in the BSA Venturing and Exploring programs. And there have already been female scoutmasters; the district I grew up in had its first when I was active on the district committee a number of years ago.Fuzzy Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802539927743643041noreply@blogger.com
