President Obama’s Relationship with the BSA

The National Boy Scouts of America has issued a statement about President Barack Obama and his relationship with Scouting. I can only assume it is in response to a series of columns by Chuck Norris titled Whitehouse vs. Boy Scouts (part 1 and part 2).

Here is the official communication from National sent to Councils:
There appears to be some confusion as to President Barack Obama’s relationship with Scouting. To ensure that each of you has factual information if this issue comes up, please review the following statements that will assist you with questions.
1. President Obama is the honorary president of the Boy Scouts of America. He accepted this honor soon after his inauguration last year and we appreciate his desire to serve in that position.
2. President Obama’s signature is on the Eagle Scout pocket card and Eagle Scout wall certificate. As with any change in the administration at the White House, there is lag time between when the new president takes office and the processing and licensing of his electronic signature for our documents.
3. The President of the United States signature has never appeared on any of the lifesaving awards.
4. Although he was unable to attend the 100th Anniversary Gala in Washington, D.C., in February, he did send a very nice letter to congratulate the BSA on its centennial. That letter can be viewed at http://ww2.scouting.org/100years/100years/sitefiles/1000/Celebrating100Years/Presidential_Letter.pdf
The Boy Scouts of America has always respected the office of President of the United States and will, as always, respect the holder of the office.

"It was breathtaking," said the 17-year-old Lee High School senior. "Not only did I get to meet the president, but I got to give Michelle Obama a big ol' hug."
Green is in Washington D.C., to present the National State of Scouting address to Congress tomorrow morning.
Today Green was scheduled to meet with President Obama, but meeting the president's wife was a coincidence.
"We were walking toward the Oval Office, and she walked by, stopped and talked to us," he said. "I asked for a hug and she gave me one."
While in the Oval Office, Green presented the president with a basketball on behalf of the Boy Scouts, the annual scouting report and a membership card making the president an honorary Scout.
"When I saw him, it was almost unreal," Green said. "I think I want to be a politician now."

This is the E-mail Linda Thacker, sent to Glenn Beck and I forwarded to Glenn's producer Adam.
Dear Mr.. Beck,
On March 24, 2009 I had the honor of attending my Grandson, David Osborne's Eagle Scout Court of Honor. I imagine you have attended one of these wonderful ceremonies. I also feel confident that you are very knowledgeable of what it means to haveearned the status of Eagle Scout.. Our entire family is so very excited and at the Court of Honor we were all just beaming as our wonderful young man was honored for his achievements.
After the Court was closed David's leaders pulled him aside and explained to him that they regretted to have to explain to him, as sad as it is, that his certificate was different from others they had presented because his certificate did not have the signature of the President of the United States
They explained that Obama does not support the Boy Scouts of America and therefore does not sign the Eagle Certificates. To date I believe there may be as many as 10,000 of this countries finest young men who do not have the signature of the president of the country they have taken an oath to respect and serve on their Eagle Certificate.
To my knowledge Congress chartered BSA in 1916 part of which the President of the United States is the Honorary President of The Boy Scouts of America and President Obama is the first sitting president to personally REFUSE to sign these certificates. I believe if the country were to be educated on national television of what the Boy Scouts of America stands for they would join those of us who already know, and would be as outraged as we are! Also, your good friend Jim Lago was also in attendance at this Eagle Court of Honor. I had the privilege of speaking with him this morning on his radio talk show here in Corpus Christi and shared with him this same information. He was equally alarmed..... To say the least.
This information should ignite in every parent the urgency to instill the great values held by the Boy Scouts of America in their young men for the cause of maintaining this great nation. We must stand united.
With appreciation, Linda Thacker, grandmother to eleven of Americas finest future citizens, David, Erikka, Adam, Ryan, Hailey, Tygh, Mana, Gerritt, Maya, Ezra and Lynden Osborne.
So, that's the story thus far, calls have been made, citizens are angry, especially the parents of Eagle Scouts.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if ex-president Bush announced, he would be willing to sign all Eagle Scout Certificates for as long as President Obama is in office?
We have a very small man in a very big office.........THAT DOES NOT KNOW THE MEANING OF "HONOR"!
Don't you think it's time to get rid of this Un-American Muslim Traitor and get a real American back to runningour country, like what we grew up with. Because I have had enough!
If you feel like I do please pass this on.

This guy is such a scumbag! It is with tremendous sadness that I send this to my friends; unfortunately this information goes a long, long way to confirm the worst possible motives behind the man who fooled so many gullible American people into voting for him.
The story you heard yesterday about President Obama refusing to sign Eagle Scout Awards is true. He won't sign life saving awards either.
Every President since 1912 has been the honorary President of the Boy Scouts of America. President Obama refused that honor.
Did you hear anything about the Boy Scouts 100th Anniversary? Why did the press ignore it? Let's see,they promote honor, integrity, putting others first, love of country and of course they believe in God.
Not much press coverage on this story either, the first president in 100 years to insult his finest citizens,Eagle Scouts.
John Beauregard, CEO of the South Texas Council of the Boy Scouts of America joins us just after 7AM. David Haynie has two sons who have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. Dave Hiser's son is working on his Eagle Scout award now.
Folks, this man really does hate America , including the best of our youth!
Hope today is an extra good day!!! Isn't this weather fabulous!!!!!!
Lotsa love!
