25. Sure makes the boy scouts look like cowards.

They puffed up after the event and basically told everyone to shut up, that they were just being patriotic Americans. Then they got the backlash and they made one of those stupid apologies, you know - sorry if you got offended shit.

it shouldn't have been an apology, it should have been instant outrage at the orange dork. Then they should have had the entire jamboree cleaning highways and restrooms of the interstate for three months because the little trump-youth cheered that kind of crap and broke at least 10 to the boy scout laws. What would they have done if the boys had cheered a cross-burning? Or cheered a creepy old man who grabs women's private parts. Oh wait. They did.

So much for the cream of American youth.

Disclosure: I was a cub scout, boy scout and troop aide. It was a different time and a different set of leaders.

President of Scouts and Chief Scout should resign.
