Thank you for this. My 13 yo son joined Scouts last fall and worked hard to achieve rank so that he could attend Jamboree. We are so impressed with how he has responded to all the best of what Scouting has to offer. We are an interfaith family and because of Scouts “Duty to God” he is exploring his Jewish identity seriously. With a few disturbing exceptions, he felt embraced and encouraged with the diversity of people, thought, religions there that were united by their common commitment to Scouting. The good examples and positive experiences prevailed.

He enjoyed Jamboree. Thank you for your role in this. The BSA and the vast majority of the people in the BSA are better than that 35 minute speech which is anti-thetical to the core values and just a plain example of everything NOT to be.
