Eagle Scouts react to Trump's shameful antics at the Boy Scout Jamboree

You all showed up at the Boy Scout Jamboree for me?

In all of the madness of our new Republican administration, and the ruling class of puppets trying to rip away Americans’ healthcare, the pathological and destructive nature of Donald Trump’s narcissism can be lost. Yesterday, Trump used an appearance at the Boy Scouts of America’s Jamboree at Summit Bechtel National Scout Reserve in Glen Jean, West Virginia. Trump decided to use this event to talk about himself and politics and attack enemies. He turned the event into a Hitler Youth rally-seeming function instead of the celebration of the … Boy Scouts.

Ted Genoways is an journalist and a former Eagle Scout from a long line of Boy Scouts. Furious, he decided to explain himself in a very sobering review of our unpopular president’s antics yesterday.

The response was overwhelmingly positive from the Scout community. No one wants what Trump is selling.

I'm a double silver palm Eagle Scout. 2 Jambories, 2 treks at Philmont, Order of the Arrow. Father is a Silver Beaver. I'm with both of you.

As an Eagle Scout and the son of a Silver Beaver awardee, I agree that this has to happen. https://t.co/pHu3vU3gVV

.@BSAchief- please read this thread. As an Eagle, OA V.H. & APO, @realDonaldTrump has shamed the uniform we (but not he) wore. @TedGenoways https://t.co/2WTYgxUnVJ

I was at '89 Jamboree, too. President Bush spoke of fishing and honor and space exploration — and stay off the crack. No partisan nonsense. https://t.co/smdR92tPYi

I wanted to add that the Boy Scouts of America have had an open invitation to any sitting president since the first Jamboree in 1937, that was attended by FDR. To learn more about the history of the event and presidents attending the event you can check out this post.
