Boy Scouts of America REFUSES to distance themselves from Trump's vile speech

15. He has no clue and doesn't care.

He just stood up on the platform and shot the BSA in the middle of the street.

I have mixed thoughts about the scouts. The shit national has have done over the years pisses me off. But as a scout then as a adult who volunteered as a cub leader, committee member, and a scout master I saw what the local troops could do for the kids. It was a inner city troop. We were chartered by a baptist church. Some would see red flags at this. But that wasn't the case. I'm not baptist so I was surprised when they asked me to become the scout master. Most of the committee members were from the church and had kids in the troop.

We had Christian, Jewish and Muslim kids. We didn't go in to religion or politics. The troop was pretty diverse racially. We had a pretty even mix black, latino, white kids and adults. A couple of the eagle scouts including my son and I stayed on after he turned 18 to help the next scout master get up to speed. He was the first Jewish scout master at that baptist church. My Assistant scout master and his wife (committee member) was a late 70's to early 80's mixed race couple that caught hell. But not at the church.

End result the scouts do a lot of good, but the leadership at the Jamboree should have stepped in during his speech. Those there should hand in their resignation for allowing that to go on.
