On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.

can let that vile speech from BLOTUS get a pass. Are these just words on a paper? Are these ideals only when it is easy, not for hard times like we will have in the coming years with Trump and the republicans running the show?

We have a 'president' of zero morals, zero honor, never lifted a finger to do anything for his country and now shits all over the BSA as well.

Its a sad and terrible time in America.
