I see he’s earned his fishing merit badge, too.

Somehow this cartoon just reminded me of the old Laser show at Grand Coulee Dam that had a small part in it where they hadan eagle fly down along the middle of the Columbia river and grab a fish and fly off with it…. A stunning sight to watch in Laser animation !

Or a Gollum, my precious!

Todd certainly has the talons for become a proud Eagle Scout.

It looks like he Erne-d it.

I don’t think the Eagle Scout rank is something to make fun of in this way. It is tremendously difficult to earn — less than 4% of boys who enter Scouting earn it — and it deserves more respect.

And he certainly has the beak for it.

Todd seems to have become obsessed with his Eagle merit badges. Maybe he needs re-focus on something besides scouting. Maybe GIRLS!

Bleeb is staying far away from here ~~ just in case he wants to try for his alien catching badge.

Shouldn’t you shave his head now?

Just think, if Ben Franklin had prevailed, they would be wanting to be turkey scouts.

Want to see some real eagles? Check out the new babies in Idaho. http://www.decoraheaglecamalerts.com/

But has he learned to walk only on two legs yet?

THIS ONE IS NOT THE LEAST BIT FUNNY. EAGLE SCOUT IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST HONORS ONE CAN ACHIEVE IN SCOUTING, AND MANY OF OUR PRESIDENTS ONCE WERE ONE. YOU NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO MILLIONS OF SCOUTS ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY! SHAME!!!
