I was a boy scout, loved being a part of it and learned a lot from participating. Fortunately I was never subjected to any maniacal rantings by a flakey adult. The organization has a law. It begins “A scout is:” and after that is just twelve words. Here they are: Trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, reverent. It might be smart if the scout leaders of each troop in attendance do some recon when they get home and suggest the youngsters do their best to purge their brains of the self-angrandizing and incendiary rhetoric uttered by Trump at this Jamboree. It should be easy to make their point. Do you see any of these attributes in Donald Trump? Maybe “clean,” but only because he is a paranoid germaphobe. If you could be prosecuted for violating the Boy Scout Law, Trump would get a life sentence in a federal prison.
I wonder what is upcoming on the Trump quasi campaign trail? If he sees a huge gathering of migratory geese resting along a river bank while he is flying in Air Force One, he’s likely to instruct the pilot to land so he can go tell his feathered friends what a smashing victory he had in Wisconsin. I heard there is a national Girl Scout conference scheduled in a few months, and boy would he love to weasel in a speaking invite there. Mom’s, if you have even the slightest inclination that might happen, and any knowledge at all of previous Trump behavior towards young women, you might want to consider tagging along on this one. Of course you must be ever vigilant lest you be grabbed yourself.
