Trump tirade is bizarre and shocking | Letter to the editor

To the editor:

As our state’s first and only 12 year-old Eagle Scout — and honored to be the scribe of the select North Central Washington troop at the 1969 National Jamboree — I am appalled, shocked and disgusted by President Trump’s bizarre tirade at this year’s Boy Scouts of America National Jamboree.

Forget about being unqualified for president, he’s unqualified to even be a Boy Scout, breaking every one of the 12 points of the Scout Law:

Trustworthy

Loyal

Helpful

Friendly

Courteous

Kind

Obedient

Cheerful

Thrifty

Brave

Clean

Reverent

Scouting taught me all of those things and more. Perhaps the president — or his staff — should have made the Scout Law required reading before going on stage.
