President Trump Urges Loyalty as Boy Scouts Boo Barack Obama at Jamboree

President Trump Urges ‘Loyalty’ as Boy Scouts Boo Barack Obama at Jamboree
President Trump asked more than 35,000 Scouts celebrating the organization’s Jamboree to uphold just a single Scout Law value: loyalty. Specifically, to him.

For more than a century, members of the Boy Scouts of America have sworn to uphold the values of Scout Law—the code of scouting chivalry that requires its adherents to be “trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent” to all they encounter.

On Monday evening, however, President Donald Trump used the backdrop of more than 35,000 Scouts celebrating the organization’s quadrennial Jamboree to fixate on just one value: loyalty. Specifically, how little he feels it in the nation’s capital.

“As the Scout Law says, a Scout is trustworthy, loyal,” Trump said, pausing dramatically. “We could use some more loyalty, I will tell you that.”
