That lost Eagle Scout who spent three days with an injured ankle on the mountainside and was subsequently fined about $25,000 for his rescue is looking for help. Again. One of his Scoutmasters stared a Facebook group in the hopes that it would gain about 25k members and each person could donate $1 to the family. So far it has about a dozen, and that’s after the Examiner wrote an article about the Facebook group.

I previously joined a Facebook group called “Save the Star Tribune.” It has about 2,000 members and to date I don’t think it’s raised any money. My friend who works at the Star Tribune sent an e-mail asking for cash, but it was pretty obvious that she hadn’t bothered giving either since $0 had been raised. These Facebook groups don’t bring in a ton of cash. Why? They’re easy to join. Sending cash takes work.
