Scoutmaster Podcast 139

Joke about a bald eagle being unimpressed by a bald man.

Listener mail from Thundering Thor (Kickstarter backer who helped put the t-shirt project over 100% funded), Gant Edmondson (used podcast 138 for Merit Badge counselor orientation), Michael Daniels of Tallahassee FL (general thanks), and Mark Bowie of Troop 531 in Orange CA (retiring as Scoutmaster to focus on Jamboree troop).
