I was a Boy Scout and I am pissed
Years ago I was in a troop in N.W. PA and one of the members was my
next door neighbor and his dad was the county DA and his uncle was Governor
of PA, Ray Shafer. Ray was a great guy, we would see him all the time,
and he was a republican too.
Governor Shafer would sometimes be at Boy Scout functions and he would have
never dreamed of bringing partisan politics into a scout function.
The little I could stomach of Trump at the National Jamboree made me sick.
BTW I still use things I learned in the Scouts almost every day too. Things like
tying a bowline on a bight, tying a square knot, how to build a fire, and bitching
about the weather will not change anything so just move on and do what needs to be
done.

Don't blame the kids, Trump is absolutely shameless. He has no right to turn a Boy Scout Jamboree into a Trump rally.
It's because he can't find a non-judgmental, adoring audience anywhere else now.
The BSA organization shouldn't have let this happen. They owe the parents and kids a very big apology and promise that it will never happen again. Parents are absolutely livid as they should be. They're posting their reactions on the Facebook page and I'm sure they're calling the BSA office in Texas.
Their parents aren't there to explain what's happening. You can't blame these kids.
In my day, it was for the rich kids. Those uniforms etc. cost a lot of money. My brother got to be a Boy Scout but what about the Girl Scouts?
Answer: Uniform is too expensive and you are a girl so forget it! That is what I was told.
The right winger across the street has a son in it and so does this other idiot winger across the way. Whatever they teach, one thing lacking is respect for others I've noted over the years.
