On February 21, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) will give their much-sought-after award for 'Americanism' to
Dennis Tito, the first person in history to pay his own way to space. In doing this the BSA are reminding Americans of who they are, of what it was about Americans that made the USA the richest country in the world. At their best they are pioneering, entrepreneurial, individual, visionary. The BSA's full citation can be found on the
Wilshire company's web-site.
