Update to Barack Obama Was a Boy Scout
Posted by admin under: International .
I wrote to the gentleman in the Australian newspaper article I posted on before to ask if the newspaper was correct that they were in Boy Scouts together. He wrote back saying that they were.
Nice to meet you..yes me and Barry Obama went to school together at Besuki elementary back in 1970 - 1971in Jakarta..he was a good hearted kid,i always play with him everyday during that time..we jointed the boy scout at the same junior A group..our uniform at that time was kakhi shirt and dark brown pants and on our neck we wore red and white small flag(indonesian flag colour)..we learned at that time how to use rope for building camp tent,climbing and others standard use…we also learned how to marching ect…we did camp at that time but its in our class school(in the evening) thats what we learned at the time before we really camp on the mountain side..but Barry Obama never get the chance to camp outside the city to the mountain..unfortunately,he went back to Hawaii in 1972…if you want to see our old school and picture of his former classmates,please check my Facebook..just search my name..thanks for your kind attention..cheers,Rully
So, it looks like they were more like Cub Scouts together. If you want to check out his facebook page to see that picture you can click here to send a friend request. I don’t know how else to see a person’s profile. If you know how and can educate me it would be appreciated. Rully sounds like a nice person and a supportive friend.
It looks like if Barack Obama wins the presidency we’ll be trading our Cub Scout President Bush for a Cub Scout President Obama. What a coincidence!
Update: Wikipedia has cool info on Indonesian Scouting, like how their oath and law differ from the American ones.
