Remember that the Scouts themselves are members of “Generation Z” (even typing that makes me feel old) — it seems like they are trending conservative (maybe even very conservative) because of Obama’s failed policies during their formative years.

If anyone is angry at Trump, it is the adult leaders, especially those with a desire to “fundamentally change” the Scouting program with the insertion of SJW nonsense.

I've always tried to raise WBill Jr. apolitically. He should be a kid, he has the rest of his life to worry about politics. I try to correct things that are wrong - for instance he asked me about the new AlGore movie as he saw a trailer, and I took the opportunity to talk about all of the climate predictions that haven't come true (it's quite a list) and how it's important to form your own opinions based on facts, rather than whoever yells loudest.

But otherwise, I figure that if I do a good job with his upbringing, he'll come to the correct conclusions. So far, he has, as he's more conservative than me. We'll see.

His friends? I dunno, and I'm not sure about the scout that I talked to. His dad is a millennial, and mostly on the fence. If I had to politically characterize all of the kids in Wbill Jr's troop, I'd say that they have a strong dislike for politicians in general.

Which, is likely the best attitude to have of all, IMO.
