:The quote was intended to provide meaningful context to the BSA's values and that of America in all its history, the differences between international scouting and the Boy Scouts of America. While it's true that Rush Limbaugh never did make Eagle Scout, he made it all the way through Cub Scouting and was a Tenderfoot in the BSA for a year. But the quote was suppose to be more about what it is saying rather than who is saying it; the BSA's mission is to prepare young men to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law, which are guiding principles that have made America the great country that it is today. But if you feel strongly that it is more important to focus on the 'manliness' of scouting rather than what it's trying to teach young Americans, it's fine with me.

::I read Rush's speech. his speechwriter is incompetent and let him down. We know a lot more about BSA than Rush does.  The article clearly covers both the explicit and the implict goals of the organization--and yes , they include masculinity. (it's the '''BOY''' scouts,after all.) [[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 22:39, 17 November 2009 (EST)
