Yes. And I've probably told this story on the DBD before.

Boy Scout Troop 7 in Berkeley, sold Christmas wreaths, garlands, and centerpieces to help fund summer camp on Sawmill Lake in Placer County. Troop 7 had weekly meetings in the basement of St. Clements Episcopal Church near the Hotel Claremont. On the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving 1972, my patrol went to a part of Oakland not far from the church. We fanned out and went door knocking to make sales. We were driven there in a Checker Marathon by a parent, so we could get the entire patrol (6 boys) in the car without a problem. About 20 minutes into our foray, I was stopped by Oakland PD for soliciting after 6 pm without a permit. The entire patrol was rounded up, taken down to the nearest police station, booked and released back to our parents. Seems that one grouchy neighbor had called the cops to demand putting an end to our sales pitches.

We got mentioned in a Herb Caen column soon thereafter and were less than minor celebrities within Troop 7 for less than a minute.
