Im an Eagle Scout. Heres why the Scouts must denounce Trumps Jamboree fiasco.

If the Boy Scouts of America does not denounce what happened Monday at its National Jamboree, it might as well repeal and replace the Scout Oath and Law and rename the organization Trump Youth.

Scouting’s mission is to promote good character. President Donald Trump’s disgusting remarks to 40,000 scouts and leaders in West Virginia — and the embarrassing cheers and chants they provoked — were the essence of bad character.

If that sounds harsh, this is why: I am an Eagle Scout, my three brothers are Eagle Scouts and our father was a Scoutmaster. Despite its flaws, I have always admired the scouting movement. I was relieved when scout officials finally ended their bigotry against gay scouts and leaders. I am still bothered by the organization’s cozy relationship to the National Rifle Association.
