A local Eagle Scout Benjamin Pontz's viral op-ed explains how President Trump could have used the Scout Law to inspire the Scouts he addressed last week. What did you think of the president's speech?

I wish the president had focused on the Boy Scout Law, as Pontz suggested.
I wish Pontz, not the president, had addressed the young Scouts. Trump's speech was overly political and inappropriate.
I imagine the Scouts were just thrilled by the presence of the president.
I think the president's speech was just fine.
