Something I just don't see them doing here in the States: Scouts hand out condoms
Twenty-thousand scouts from around the world are expected at the International Jamboree in Thailand and each of the scouts will be given a package of condoms.Meanwhile, the Boy Scouts of America aims to keep scouts safe from atheists.The Jamborees, a highlight of scouting, is held once every four years. The condom giveaway was requested by organizers. The packages will be made up by the Public Health Ministry. Dr Pipat Yingseri said a pack will be given to every scout who enters the Jamboree site.
"Extra packages will be available if the scouts request them. We are preparing the condoms to prevent Aids, not to encourage sexual activity ... Nobody can control sex 100% when thousands of people live together, so my aim is to prevent Aids in case of sex" Yingseri said.
