Over one hundred years ago the Boy Scouts of America was incorporated, bringing together enthusiastic boys and patient, even-tempered men who, through clear thinking and mature decision making, would guide the boys toward the best possible outcome of any situation, particularly on campouts. Nevertheless, it is Donald Duck who supervises his troop of nephews on a scouting expedition in Good Scouts, which was released on this day in 1938. And while Donald is far from the model scoutmaster, it ensured hilarious results, enough to win the cartoon short an Academy Award nomination that year for Short Subject, along with other Disney films, Mother Goose Goes Hollywood, Brave Little Tailor and the film that took home the Oscar®, Ferdinand the Bull.
