>Apparently all the four American male astronauts on board were former
>scouts, with the pilot, William McCool, being an Eagle Scout.

5 of the seven were Scouts, not 4. Laurel Clark was a Girl Scout. Not
sure about the other two, but they may have been International Scouts,
too. The Scouting Movement touches many lives. Of the 293 former and
current astronauts, 201 have taken part in Scouting. See below for a list
of other Scouts in the Astronaut program

God Bless Them and Keep Them, and prayers for their families and co-workers.
