Interesting. I was not aware of that but will ask when our friends return. My scouts opted for Philmont this year, and in light of what happened I'm glad they did.
Did it in 1999 as a leader. Great time. Wonderful adventure.
Sounds like a great year for Philmont! I hope they had a great time. It looks amazing.
They had a great time! I got one phone call during their time in New Mexico from the top of Mount Baldy, which is one of few places with cell coverage. They enjoyed everything but the burros, which are notoriously uncooperative. (I think they really did enjoy the burros, but it's tradition to complain about them.) Weather was beautiful. Youngest wants to go back for the extended backpacking trip before he graduates if he can work it out.
The whole thing was just creepy. He turned it into a Trump Youth rally. It reminded me of the scene in Cabaret where the Hitler Youth sang "Tomorrow Belongs To Me."
Exactly.
For a moment, I expected a chorus of "Lock her up."

But I'd hate to see the BSA and the kids painted as enthusiastic accomplices, for the kids it had to be exciting to have a standing president at their jamboree, it wasn't the message but the moment for them. As far as the BSA leadership, I think they are handling it well by not perpetuating the the controversy further and letting Trump's actions and words speak for themselves.
That statement makes no sense. Nobody has ever been as successful as Trump. Billionaire with no political experience wins the White House.
And by June, President Trump had signed 37 bills into law, while Obama only had 24, Bush only 15.
You'll be the last to wake up and smell the coffee. The vast majority of posts here are critical of your buddy Trump. The other day a poll was held here and 64% of us said that we find Trump an embarrassment as President. That's six months into his term.
Now, before you respond, remember: The idea is to defend Trump. Not to attack HC or liberals. Got it?
Good luck. Most of us are picking up on the fact there is just something wrong or sick about Donald.

LOL! Can't help what the Trump Deranged will do. They also are on the losing side, Bigly.
Go to the elections forum. 10s of 1000s of posts against Trump BEFORE he was elected. Trump proved them all wrong. Now they avoid the elections forum like it was plagued. Some never ever came back.
I said here on this forum in 2015 that Trump would be President. How did you do?
I thought so.
