Boy Scouts of America REFUSES to distance themselves from Trump's vile speech [View all]

Trump's speech represents the values of the BSA in 2017.

“The Boy Scouts of America is wholly non-partisan and does not promote any one position, product, service, political candidate or philosophy. The invitation for the sitting U.S. President to visit the National Jamboree is a long-standing tradition and is in no way an endorsement of any political party or specific policies," the organization said in a Monday night statement.

“The sitting U.S. President serves as the BSA’s honorary president. It is our long-standing custom to invite the U.S. President to the National Jamboree.”


They own this shit now. Just rename that putrid organization the Trump Youth and get it over with.
