Not long ago, my son and I went through the family collection of old Scout stuff. By trading, we have Jambo patches from 1933 to 1989.

But Trump didn't dishonor the Boy Scouts by falling short of its standards; he made a mockery of the ideals themselves. It's what he does.
Sadly, the @boyscouts are now in a position of having to disavow statements made by the president, but that's what they must do.

And by the way, the only time that Trump ever had any previous dealings with the Boy Scouts was when Don Jr. joined in 1989.

The membership fee was $7 in those days—and Trump didn't pay it out of pocket. He took the money from charity.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-boasts-of-his-philanthropy-but-his-giving-falls-short-of-his-words/2016/10/29/b3c03106-9ac7-11e6-a0ed-ab0774c1eaa5_story.html …

I'm sorry that Trump and Don Jr. didn't stick with it. The first thing they teach you: "A scout is trustworthy."

Fellow Eagle here, not sure how to process yesterday. Thanks for this.
-
Right back at you. All I can say is this: Scouts belongs to us, not Donald Trump—or anyone who would try to make it a political organ.
-
I'll also say: the real magic of BSA to me has always been on the local level, where the national attitudes & politics can't infiltrate
-
I would hope a lot of leaders are using this experience to teach their boys something bigger

The BSA should have known Trump would be political. They violated their own policies on Scout participation in political events.

I'm an Eagle Scout, and reluctant to let my son join the
@boyscouts. They still discriminates against atheists, and now this Trump b.s.!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

The BSA won't. They planned the Hitler - esque youth movement.

They won't, because they're effectively a branch of the
@GOP. This is a symptom, not the disease.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

This the same Boy Scouts that banned gay scout leaders for years so they wouldn't brainwash scouts?
