Reaction to President Donald Trump’s unconventional speech at the quadrennial Boy Scouts of America jamboree in West Virginia on Monday quickly metastasized on Twitter, where critics charged the president had pugnaciously politicized an occasion that, in the hands of past holders of his office, had instead been used to extol such civic virtues as fellowship, citizenship, service and commonality of purpose.

Here, as posted by PBS’s “News Hour” on You Tube, is the entirety of the Trump address:

As of Tuesday morning, the Boy Scouts of America channel on the video platform did not include any reference to Trump’s appearance at the jamboree. Nor did the channel for scouting publication Boys’ Life Magazine include footage of the speech.

Trump, at the jamboree, was flanked by Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price; Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, sporting scouting paraphernalia; and Energy Secretary Rick Perry. All, reportedly, achieved the rank of eagle scout. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who also earned that scouting distinction in his youth, was not present. Trump has tweeted that Sessions is “beleaguered” and “VERY [capitalization his] weak” vis-à-vis former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

As to the jamboree, Trump, via Twitter, had this to say:

In a multitweet thread that gained significant social traction late Monday, Ted Genoways, setting forth his scouting bona fides personally and as a member of a family with a lengthy and decorated Boy Scouts of America history but acknowledging a conflicted relationship with the organization, said Trump had trampled on the jamboree tradition, desecrated the event and “made the national gathering of Boy Scouts about himself”:

Sen. Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat, referencing his own role as a scout leader, fell back on youthful language in characterizing the Trump appearance:

It was noted, though, that among the crowd, estimated at 35,000 in media accounts and as having achieving record magnitude by the president, much of Trump’s speech had found an enthusiastic audience, with chants of “U-S-A” greeting talk of the effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act and choruses of boos responding to the names of Clinton and former President Barack Obama, whom Trump chided as not having attended a jamboree in person. (On Instagram, former White House photographer Pete Souza posted an image of Obama shaking hands with a Cub scout at the White House, captioning the photo, “I can assure you, [Obama] was not telling this Cub Scout and the Boy Scouts who followed about his electoral college victory.”)

Before Trump’s appearance, seven of the 11 presidents in office at the time of a jamboree addressed the gathering, according to Scouting Magazine.

While many were pressing the Boy Scouts to repudiate Trump’s words and tone — and, on the Boy Scouts of America’s Facebook page, even lodging a call for the organization to be stripped of its tax-exempt status — it should not be concluded that the president’s appearance did not also meet with support on Twitter. A sampling:

Later Tuesday, Boy Scouts of America released this statement, as disseminated by NBC News:
