Back in 1980's when Mall's where all the cool thing I was called as President of a local mineral collectors The Pittsburgh Mineral and Lapidary society group a now defunct group and asked if we could put on a display at the mall while a large vendor who put on mineral shows was there. Sure no problem I arranged to get stuff there and told them I would be there after I finished my work shift as a guard that morning as I had a pick up truck and could bring all the cases over. So members could fill them. I needed to be there set up and out by 9:00 am when mall opened which should have been no problem but guard who was suppose to relive me never showed up.
So I had to wait for replacement to show up and I was late getting there ad at 9:00 am I am on the top floor
of Century III Mall no ones around and finishing things up. At 9:00 am the malls 3rd level is empty at the time many of the spaces where empty as well. But no matter one of the guards comes up and asks how long I will be I said about 20 more minutes, OK he says since there was no public on floor . but this was not good enough for a corporate puke for the mall Dave who was a manager of the mall and fellow Eagle Scout he starts his horse shit I need off the floor period never mind I spent my time my gas to come put this display on and I had been delayed setting up being loyal to my job theirs no one on floor and I would be done in 20 minutes.
So I packed up and left and told big Man Dave to F-off I don't Bowell down to corporate pukes .
So as I am on my way out the door on my last trip some bigger bosses come on floor and want to know whats going on I said ask your boy Dave and left. I get a call about 2 hours later asking me to come back the higher ups said Dave exceeded his authority. So I did go back and they even had a mall janitor who helped me bring things in and it was a good show for Mr. Freeland and all vendors he invited to show their gems and minerals.
for sale. the mall has been thru several owners and management company's and Dave is long gone .
to e an Eagle Scout and act in such a manner you get disciplined by higher ups in unconscionable he is one of many eagles I have run across who need to turn their badges back in.
The untold story about trying to be an Eagle Scout in a world not interested in doing the right thing which includes a scouting program and what they do not want you to know

Boy Scouts and the Nazi's symbol on there badge
Yes that is a Swastika you see behind a Boyscout badge but do not let it throw you.
before the swastika became a the universal sign of NAZI hatred
it was used as sign of good luck . Even Buddhas can be found with Swastikas on there heads .
This medal in particular was given to citizens who helped do good for scouting.
As far as any NAZI connection and scouting there are none to be found in fact Hitler wanted Baden Powell very dead as with the Boy Scouts movement .
Many say the Hitler youth where modeled after the boy scouts this is not true either. Nor is the boyscout salute a Hitler salute that was used well before the Nazis ever did a Seig Heil yet there are those who would have you believe otherwise.
You will also find rhetoric to the fact Baden Powell was a homo sexual and pedophile again no truth found to this as well.
Lots of rumors and inuenda but no solid proof I could find anywhere. just those who can not stand right from wrong and being a good citizen trying to smudge the boy scout name.
