Trumps Shameful Speech to the Boy Scouts
Our President Needs The Validation Of Boy Scouts – Stephen Colbert
The President had a great opportunity to inspire a large audience of youngsters… and instead spent his entire speech discussing politics, crowd sizes and his rich friend’s boating escapades.
Chief Scout Executive Michael Surbaugh made an apology to the parents, …
I want to extend my sincere apologies to those in our Scouting family who were offended by the political rhetoric that was inserted into the jamboree, That was never our intent.[1]

Shame on the Boy Scouts for Booing President Obama and Secretary Clinton
A black mark on the Boy Scouts
Shame on the Boy Scouts for booing another boy scout, President Barrack Obama. Trump never was a boy scout.[1,2,3]
As a Scout leader, my stomach is in knots about what Trump did today. If you haven’t watched it yet, don’t. It’s downright icky.
