[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The trump jamboree has ruined them for  me. I don’t even buy popcorn or mulch anymore. Nothing against individual kids l, obviously, but the organization revolts me. [/quote]

BSA has always invited the POTUS. The POTUS doesn't have to attend. Sometimes the POTUS appears by video, like Obama. Sometimes in person, like Clinton. Sometimes, the FLOTUS attends (like Nancy Reagan). BSA also issued an apology after Trump's comments.

Biden will be invited in 2023. Biden was also in Boy Scouts (as it was then called). Per photographs, he at least achieved the rank of First Class.

Exactly. What more should they have done? It would be very politicized to NOT invite Trump if they had a standing policy of inviting every president. I cannot stand trump but do not want apolitical groups like Scouts to take political sides. [/quote]

Well of course. I mean why speak up against “political” things like racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, lying and misogyny. Such “political” topics should not be addressed by such upstanding young men. [/quote]
