Famous Scouts - Politicians

Here are a few Boy Scouts that grew up and became well known polititians, Senators, governors, and even presidents. (Unfortunately, a couple of these seemed to have forgotten the twelve points of the Scout Oath after they grew up.)

William Bennett - Former Secretary of Education (Eagle Scout)
James Brady - Former Press Secretary to President Reagan (Eagle Scout)
Willaim Sessions - Former FBI Director (Eagle Scout)
Murphy J. "Mike" Foster - Governor of Louisiana (Eagle Scout)
Gary Locke - Governor of Washington State (Eagle Scout)
Rick Perry - Governor, State of Texas (pictured above)

Gary Anderson - U.S. Representative from New York (Eagle Scout)
Bill Alexander - U.S. Representative from Arkansas (Eagle Scout)
Charles Bennett - U.S. Representative from Florida (Eagle Scout)
William Dannemeyer - U.S. Representative from California (Eagle Scout)
Daniel J. Evans - Former US Senator and Governor from the state of Washington (Eagle Scout)
Richard Lugar - U.S. Senator from Indiana (Eagle Scout)
Sam Nunn - U.S. Senator from Georgia (Eagle Scout)

Bill Clinton - President of the United States
George W. Bush - President of the United States
John F. Kennedy - President of the United States
