Hi.
We have the Boy Scouts in Japan too, though I don't know about it except they wear cowboy hats.
The homepage of Scout Association of Japan is here;

As for Halloween, it is important for me to hear your opinion about it, which would be rather "negative".
I didn't want to write something negative in here, so I didn't mention about the tragedy that had happened
at ON or ONE particular Halloween night.
A Japanese teenager A JAPANESE TEENAGE student[/b]) was shot to death
at ONE Halloween night, when he disguised himself as a monster, enjoying the "trick or trade". He was dead because he couldn't understand the meaning of "freeze!".
If I had been him, I too would have thought OF it as "please!". And I was shot to death too. (I
might have been shot too.)
The accident
had happened around 1990, and every Japanese was so shocked. And I myself decided to quit going to America.
HI Supperman, thats an awful story-- where did this happen? Was it in America? I wonder why the gunman Had a gun in the first place.Why such an innocent act had to be related to death?
The
shooting GUNman was judged as innocent at the court, because of "justifiable defense".
That seems very strange to me. But aN ex-FBI officer said that he was guilty, in a book "I Have Lived in the Monster" by Robert K. Ressler、Tom Shachtman.
He didn't have to shoot.....
The ex-FBI officer analyzed the character of the shooting man.
I don't know what the truth was. It was just an opinion of a book writer.( AN AUTHOR.) or WRITER.
Anyway, very unfortunately, I have negative feelingS about "Halloween", too.
And I will never forget the meaning of the word "freeze!".
