There haven’t been “Den Mothers” in the BSA probably since the 70s. “Den Leader” has been the title since at least my first adult involvement in 1987 as an Assistant Cubmaster.

They booed the POS because he never spoke to them . Many realized he was their enemy as well. Those parents are angry because Trump is deprogramming their young and their irrational Obama worship.

I had heard that the gay thing was brought into the BSA when Tillerson was running the show.

The speech was very good. Encouraging to see so many wholesome looking young men gathered.

Oh how the left weeps when The right fights back! 40,000 mush heads who will remember that the President of this here USA came and made a speech to honor the BSA. Liberals get apoplectic.
I love it!

A lot of these scouts are 15 or older. They'll be voting in the next presidential election. They're often leaders in their schools and communities whose views set the tone.

No wonder leftist maniacs are screaming crazy things.

Brakbrak talked s&!t about America at every turn, called President Bush a traitor for raising the debt ceiling and then did it himself without batting an eyelash.

Stalinists lie. Always

They cry phony tears.

Poor widdle mainstream mediots got their feewings hurt. He was supposed to celebrate homosexuality and pedophilia rather than support the Boy Scout code.

Lots of trolls masquerading as “concerned parents”.

SOP for the Left.

No ridicule of the Left’s demigod—Barry Hussein Obummer, the None—can be tolerated.

After all, it’s racist to criticize an unaccomplished community organizer.

No free speech for Trump as it’s reserved for those who mock him and make assassination jokes.

Was a great speech, much of it off teleprompter and from the heart like the lesson learned from the life of William Levett (?)

Were Robin Tilson, Thomas Bailey, Erin Callahan Olander, Slayde Warren picked at random or is this an example of fake news? It sounds to me like they are part of a tiny minority the media is attempting to portray as a significant number. They have done this with homosexuals.

U have a Pack, Troop, Crew. Ship, and GS troop: Finally good news around the Scouting movement. Loved the speech.

"Critics denounce Trump..."

Funny how every tiny denunciation of the president is now news. There was plenty of denouncement of Obama during his reign and I never heard or saw a peep from the MSM.

Everything that the BSA stands for was discredited today

Nope, that happened a few years ago.

Trump told the story of Bill Levitt and it was a good one to tell.

‘tacky and disrespectful’ Boy Scouts speech
I have to say, Trump did gratuitously make it overtly political. I would not therefore compare it favorably with prior presidential Boy Scouts speeches.

OTOH I do compare it favorably - very favorably indeed - to the ‘tacky and disrespectful’ failure to make a presidential Boy Scouts speech. Not that it was within the former president’s character to make a gracious presidential speech to anyone other than a simpatico political group.

IMHO the Scouts were well within the bounds of decorum to express agreement with that assessment in the way they did. I guess I think that by snubbing the Boy Scouts the former president amply earned the lack of respect he got in return.
