The President of the US always has the honorary title of president of the BSA. He gets to speak when he wants to.
Seemed to me that it would be a prudent thing to do when
inviting Trump to speak anywhere . Unusual ? yes but look at who we are
dealing with.
Lastly , seems to me that the boy scouts are in the
middle of a political firestorm as we speak.
This is really a tarnish on the boy scouts reputation.

Remains to be seen whether families will just shrug it off as more of Trump's BS or whether they will decide that campfire or no campfires, they are not signing their kids up for this nonsense.

At the very least, none of these Scouts or leaders lived up to their oath, "To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight."

He was invited and accepted an invitation to speak at the jamboree.
When did Obama ever do this, oh that's right he had nothing to gain politically.

I mean, it isn't like you're talking about complex issues like immigration or economics. How blind/insane do you have to be to think Trump represents family values more than Obama?
Didn't you get Trump's memo? Obama is a Nigerian Muslim.

True. Something to gain.

Hitler and Trump. Yes.

Obama. No.
