Boy Scout (Prison Break)

Hi,

I have a question from Prison Break. Why does Lincoln say that D.B. Cooper is a "Boy Scout" in this context?

Thanks for your help.


Sucre: Frickin' break room. Are you kidding me?

Michael: They must have changed it since the retrofit.

S: The bulls are camped out in there. They'll never leave.

John: You got a backup plan?

M: There isn't one. It's the only room sitting on top of that pipe. It's the only way out, and we've gotta get back in there.

J: Impossible, Fish.

Lincoln: May be not. Check it out.

S: I don't get it. How come they let him into the guard's room?
L: He's a trustee, ones with a high security clearance.

S: Why him?

L: He can be trusted.

M: How does one become a trustee?

L: Just have a spotless record for the last 30 years.

S: Pretty much counts all of us out.

M: Which means we've gotta get him on board.

L: Forget it. The guy's Boy Scout .
