A black mark on the Boy Scouts
Shame on the Boy Scouts for booing another boy scout, President Barrack Obama. Trump never was a boy scout.[1,2,3]
As a Scout leader, my stomach is in knots about what Trump did today. If you haven’t watched it yet, don’t. It’s downright icky.

I’m an Eagle Scout. Trump using the 30,000 BoyScouts as his props tonight was a scene out of Triumph of the Will. Shocking abuse of children
