http://www.politico.com/story/2017/07/25/boy-scouts-of-america-trump-speech-national-jamboree-240929The Boy Scouts of America is wholly non-partisan and does not promote any one position, product, service, political candidate or philosophy, the group said in a statement Monday night, according to news reports. The invitation to visit the National Jamboree is a long-standing tradition and is in no way an endorsement of any political party or specific policies.

You own it BSA, orgy yacht talk and all!
I write you off now as a right wing republican hate group.

Sad to see those thrown in the garbage, very sad.
