President Trump giving a speech to the Boy Scouts. They are one of the most enthusiastic and vocal crowds yet. (school, county)

The adult Scouters I know are not so impressed by either him or his speech. My brother is an Eagle Scout, OA Vigil member and Silver Beaver recipient (highest honor given to an adult BSA volunteer), and he was WTFing about it on Facebook. Said #45 doesn't even come close to exemplifying the tenets of the BSA Oath, and he thought it was disgusting that the National Jamboree was being used as an opportunity to lobby for the health care bill.

This is what one of his friends had to say:

I know MANY scouts. You, Mr. Trump, are no scout. You are an example for us of what can go wrong in a man not raised with the values that scouting works so hard to instill.

I can't imagine how anyone, even Trump supporters, can not be disturbed and embarrassed for him. It was imappropriate and not presidential in the least.

His behavior was indefensible.

The two in my family did not (oldest brother and one of my cousins). Neither did the 40-year ASM and OA Vigil member (my dad) who owns several Eagle mentor pins.

My brother was furious at this. He doesn't normally swear, but he was doing so on Facebook last night.

Well the Lord does work in mysterious ways, and we should lean not to our own understanding.

Absolutely, but people will do that anyway.

Everybody is hyped by Trump's talk, no matter what the age.
That's why its impossible to beat him in an election campaign.

No wonder the Boy Scouts were an allegedly enthusiastic crowd. Minors are a captive audience when Grandpa is giving a lecture.

Trump only said hell to the boy scouts, certainly no other 4 letter words I can't print here.
