...and disrespectful of former U.S. Presidents.
There goes 107 years of Boy Scouts of America tradition in five minutes, thanks to this a$$hat.
Are we keeping track? How many Executive Branch traditions has this clown destroyed in the last six months?
1. Tradition of Presidential candidates releasing their tax returns. Gone.
2. Tradition of Presidential candidates releasing their medical records. Gone.
3. Tradition of Presidents not profiting from being in office. Gone.
4. Tradition of non-partisan neutrality of the Justice Department. Gone. (Overtly)
5. Tradition of non-partisan neutrality of the FBI. Gone.
6. Tradition of not using nepotism to give government jobs to your kids. Gone.
7. Tradition of not trying to make the military partisan. Gone (Trumps speech to sailors today)
8. Tradition of not accepting help from spy agencies from foreign countries to get elected. Gone.
9. Tradition of using the Secret Service for protection, and not having your own personal body guards. Gone.
Banana republic status--here we come.

(999 posts)I have two boys in the Scouts and the last thing they are is Hitler Youth. I learned life saving in the Scouts and when I was 15 years old my neighbor accidentally set himself on fire. The training I received allowed me to act in a calm manner and put him out. Go read the Scout Law and tell me which of the 12 laws would lead you to believe that the Scouts are nothing but Hitler Youth.

I'm afraid to say that the reception that that bastard got could lead to no other conclusion. My heart is broken

(999 posts)Than you should know better than to make a comment like that. I am currently the committee chair and I gave had 4 Eagles during my first year. We have 11 Life Scouts including one of my son's in various stages along their Eagle journey. The Scouts have so much to compete against and in not setting parameters for Trumps speech they have just put one more obstacle in our recruiting efforts. I live in a very purple area of Virginia so our Troop gets quite the mixture of kids and patents.

(27,742 posts)An organization that would allow that asshole to give a speech like that to the boys and then to see the appalling reaction to it by that pack of goobers. I'm sad to see what has happened to it, truly sad.

(999 posts)The BSA has had an open invitation for every President to attend. The leadership clearly didn't think this through. If Trump was unwilling to be apolitical then I would have rescinded the invitation. I also understand your frustration because it is clear what Scouting has meant to you and your family.
