As our state’s first and only 12 year-old Eagle Scout—and who was 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 even to 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.

Note from KBJ: Trump Derangement Syndrome starts early. Then again, I suspect this letter was written by the kid's parents.
