Cub Scouts are a far cry from an actual Boy Scout. Saying Obama was a Boy Scout is another Obama lie.

Much like saying you have a College Degree when you only graduated High School.

The BSA says different:

Cub Scouts

Quote:
Cub Scouting is a program of the Boy Scouts of America—so in that sense, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts are both members of the same organization. However, they are entirely different programs: Cub Scouting is a family-oriented program designed specifically to address the needs of younger boys, and serve as an introduction to Boy Scouting.
So, while the programs are different - just like Boy Scout and Eagle Scout are different - they are all members of BOY SCOUTS of America. Thanks for playing.

Oh I see you edited your post.

No, its not the same thing. It would be more like saying a Marine and a Navy Seal are part of the US Military. Different organizations with different purposes but both under the same larger organization. Again, thanks for playing.

Maybe first you can show us evidence that Obama was raised in the Philippines.

Again... Obama was not a BOY Scout. Big difference.

He may have been a Girl Scout. I'd buy that.

And the point of the thread is not that OBama may not or may have been a Boy Scout but that Trump's speech was awful.....and the crowd was large because they were there for the jamboree not Trump

Obama was a Cub Scout which is part of the larger BSA. This reminds me of people who cried about Obama being identified as a black man because his mom was white. Whenever these things come up some people try SO HARD to discredit the man.

An interesting thing to quibble about, but regardless I fail to see why this point is relevant. Cub Scouts are registered members of the Boy Scouts of America, as are Venture Scouts. They're all Scouts as far as the BSA is concerned.

Corrected. He was in Indonesia back in the early 70's.

BFD whether Obama was a Boy Scout, a Cub Scout, or a Girl Scout.

He still knows how to address a group of young people in an appropriate manner and without showing his ass. Every time Trump opens his mouth he says something cringe-worthy, embarrassing, and stupid.

I'm so sick of Trump and his boot-licking followers.
