President Trump's mess of a speech to the Boy Scouts at their annual jamboree earlier this week has caused enough of a stir that the head scout had to apologize for it.

He said that overall the jamboree hasn't been "diminished in recent days," even though "the past few days have been overshadowed by the remarks offered by the President of the United States."
Trump's speech, part of a long tradition to invite the sitting U.S. president to speak at the national event, veered into political territory quickly. That's strictly notwhat the jamboree and Boy Scouts organization is about — and it wasn't the intended result of inviting Trump to speak.
Surbaugh apologized for the president's speech: "I want to extend my sincere apologies to those in our Scouting family who were offended by the political rhetoric that was inserted into the jamboree," he wrote.
Many longtime Boy Scouts and leaders weighed in, saying Trump's speech was offensive and off base. Sen. Bernie Sanders called it "outrageous."

As the head scout noted in his letter, this is "a challenging time in a country divided along political lines." Of course, that still doesn't excuse the president's behavior.
