What’s the point? How can it be the boy scouts if they allow girls?
What about the girl scouts?
Why is an organization dedicated to development of boys and young men, feeling the need to empower females?
To: Blue House Sue
Cuck Scouts.
Gutless twits.

Wasn’t Rex Tillerson a key player in the transformation of Scouting into a PC madhouse?

They’re trying to stop the hemorrhaging from the past several awful, unscout-like decisions. Ironically, they will just bleed out even faster now.

“The Boy Scouts of America announced plans on Wednesday to accept girls ...”
Not even George Orwell at his most prophetic; even if on opium, heroin, cocaine, crack or meth, would have dared predict this.
