New Requirement for Eagle Scouts: Merit Badge on Climate Change Junk Science
Gateway Pundit ^ | May 2, 2013 | Jim Hoft

In the future all Eagle scout candidates will be required to earn a merit badge in climate change junk science.

Via Scouting Magazine:

The Sustainability merit badge debuted at the 2013 National Scout Jamboree at The Summit Bechtel Reserve, West Virginia, USA.

Boy Scouts of America reported:

Although the badge is still in development, Scouts can expect to learn about pollution, resource management, green chemistry, and zero-waste practices. They will be challenged to live sustainably and, as in other badges, to explore careers related to sustainability.

Effective Jan. 1, 2014, the Sustainability merit badge will join the list of Eagle-required merit badges as an alternate to Environmental Science. Scouts who earn both badges can count the second as an elective.

My guess is that the Homosexuals have finally found their place in the Boy Scouts.

At Headquarters in the board of directors.

I think your guess is right on the money (pun intended).

Can't they recall this/these progressives?

Yeah, but they get rid of merit badges like Carpentry, Tracking, Signaling, and such.

Of course, they will probably add one in Fisting and Gerbel Husbandry.

Well, that’s my tipping point. I can no longer support them in any way. The gay lobby can have them, and let the devil take the hindmost. Too bad, it was once a proud, and worthy organization.

FWIW, the “Cooking” merit badge is also going to be added to the Eagle required list.

Well, it wasn’t necessarily intended as such - but it did strike me as I wrote it.

It’s what they do - corrupt.

It’s what their “father” did from the beginning.

And they call it “progress”.

It says on the card you can earn the Sustainability Merit Badge OR Environmental Science, which is a current Merit Badge. Just have your son earn the ES badge, like I did (and am still doing). No need to yank your son out of Scouts for this. There may be other reasons to do so in the near future though.....

‘SUSTAINABILITY’ IS THE NEW CODE WORD FOR AGENDA 21

Like the word “progressive” is code for Libtard.

Little scout Johnny now has a choice.

1. He can help little old ladies cross the street.

2. He can euthanize them.

a sure sign that liberals are starting to infiltrate the leadership of the scouts.

When the comrade-in-arms you are defending goes to the other side, it’s time to quite fighting for him.
