Let’s be clear on this: Politics is part of the scouts world. Anything that helps shaping the future is part of the scouts world, that’s how they grow. But that was not the place, and in my opinion, regardless of his position, he was not the person. A Jamboree represents the will to reach other scouts, to share experiences, music, games, stories. He is a president, he serves the country, and in respect to the spirit of scouting, and of that event, he should have had more Countenance.

Yes, I do not believe the scouts had what they deserved with their president’s speech.

And in all these news against Trump I do not believe they are getting it either.

Media mentions Obama’s absence only because it can use it against trump.

They do not show the immense crowd of young people willing to act on the scouts honor. Nope. The good will they have. Nothing. “But, think of the children!” - to play that card like this over and over again for political and clickbait reasons is low, scouts are not victims, they are children and young adults, but never victims, they should grow to become strong and reject the values that go against their experiences. Against the rudeness of their president if need be (who is the honorary chief of the scouts), and also against accepting being placed as the victim that, in this era of information, will be brainwashed just by a speech.

But The Boy Scouts deserved more, they deserved a good speech from THEIR president, which is for the time being Trump.

In a modest wish of mine, I took the liberty of cutting out all that shows little countenance from the original, or as I call it:

The nega-Media Trump’s speech to The Boy Scouts Of America

to be noted that the bold parts are the one’s actually interesting for the speech in the view of a story telling and good message for scouts. And I say nega, cause common, open any news article beside fox news all other things besides him being egoistical and political are forgotten.

Thank you everybody, thank you very much, I am thrilled to be here, thrilled.

And if you think that was an easy trip you are wrong, I am thrilled. xix(?) Jamboree Boy Scout Jamboree wow and to address such a tremendous group, boy you have a lot of people here (…) it looks like 45 000 people, you set a record today, you set a record. That’s a great honor believe me. Tonight, we put aside all the policy fights (…), and instead we are going to talk about success about how all of you amazing young scouts can achieve your dreams, what to think about, what I have been thinking about. (…)

There are many great honors that come with the job of being president of the United States but looking out at this incredible gathering of mostly young Patriots, mostly young. I am especially proud to speak to you as the honorary president of the boy scouts of America.

You are the young people of character and integrity that will serve as leaders in our communities and uphold the sacred values of our nation. I want to thank Boy Scouts president Randall Stephenson, chief scout executive Michael Servo, Jamboree chairman Ralph de la Vega and the thousands of volunteers who have made this a life-changing experience for all of you and when they asked me to be here I said absolutely yes. Finally, and we can’t forget these people I especially want to salute the moms and the dads and troop leaders who are here tonight. Thank you for making scouting possible. thank you mom and dad. Troop leaders, when you volunteer for the boy scouts, you are not only shaping young lives, you are shaping the future of America. The United States has no better citizens then its Boy Scouts, no better.
