The Boy Scouts official Facebook page was flooded with angry comments from parents and former scouts who called Mondays speech by President Trump unbelievably tacky and disrespectful.
A statement from the [Boy Scouts of America] denouncing this speech and the conduct of the crowd booing a former president needs to be forth coming immediately, Robin Tilson wrote.
Everything that the BSA stands for was discredited today by this speech and the reaction from many attendees.
Trump made a surprisingly political speech to the gathering of 40,000 young men at the 2017 National Boy Scout Jamboree. The president slammed the media and his Democratic opponents at one point eliciting boos for President Obama.
At the event in West Virginia, the huge crowd enthusiastically cheered Trump and even got a chant going that said we love Trump.
As of this moment, still awaiting a statement denouncing the Presidents speech, and his attempt to turn the BSA into the Trump Youth, said Colorado resident Thomas Bailey, who said he was an Eagle Scout.
Erin Callahan Olander, the mother of an Eagle Scout, joined others in calling the speech horrendous and asking for an apology to their children.
I was horrified that trump would address the scouts at jamboree with inappropriate stories and booingbooing!a past president, she wrote.....

The previous President HATED THE BOY SCOUTS.
Funny how I don’t recall the vaunted media demanding an apology by any Obama supporters when he attacked Americans with his tacky and disrespectful speeches... oh wait
Title correction: Leftist dismayed as forty thousand young men cheer him.
Saw a “Wolf” manual from the cub scouts the other day. Brought back lots of memories.
As someone who had a child in scouts until age 13 and worked with the scouts as a den leader locally- not another minute of time or cent in donations until you formally apologize for allowing a rambling, offensive, partisan speech to your members, Slayde Warren wrote.
Who is Slayde Warren? It’s called a Den Mother and that’s the Cub Scouts. Fake News.
In other words, the attendees agreed with what President Trump had to say. And, the leftists, who have been ragging on scouts for years, are upset.
The MSM reporting on its own opinions again, as if they do anything else.
You know, I had boy scouts and had supported them for years until Gates brought about the changes in gay adult leaders, etc...
I was so happy to see the BSA Jamboree reaction to Trump and thought I could once again support the BSA.
Guess I will be using an artificial wreath again :( Not one penny to leftists!
It’s kind of funny, but the Scouts themselves loved Trump. Does anyone think they were pressured into cheering so enthusiastically? Me neither. MAGA is a core value of the Boy Scouts. If you’re against MAGA then you’re against the Boy Scouts.
And on top of that they booed an American hating traitor. What can be more in line with Boy Scout values than that?
The Obama Administration spent 8 years pushing homosexuals and whatnot on the Boy Scouts ... it is part of how we know, or at least strongly suspect, they were cultural Marxist flirting with the Muslim Brotherhood for effect rather than the Muslim Brotherhood flirting with cultural Marxist for effect.
Perpetually outraged crowd is outraged? Who cares.
Trump’s speech was disrespectful - to the left, not to the Boy Scouts. As usual, the left pretends to be speaking on behalf of those for whom they have utter contempt.
No, they're demanding such a statement from the BSA.
A yes, I misread it.
[[I was horrified that trump would address the scouts at jamboree with inappropriate stories and booingbooing!a past president, she wrote.....]]
Well Mrs Erin- if the last president hadn’t been such a horrible president, he wouldn’t have been boo’d now would he? Yuo are simply witnessing a natural reaction to his name because he subjected this country to hateful divisive rhetoric for 8 long years- He was a divider, not a uniter- He earned the boos mrs Erin
Wah, wah, wah.
Newsweak just called the Boy Scouts the Hitler Youth, so you might get the idea that there’s a little animosity involved here. Certainly the Boy Scouts were respectful on every occasion when 0bama spoke to them. Which was none.
I guess we know what it takes to get some folks' panties in a was.
Becoming the Gay Scouts...meh. But becoming Trump youth...unacceptable!
