“The Cascade Pacific Council of Scouting America is committed to foster a culture of diversity and inclusion that makes it enriching to participate, volunteer, and work in the Scouting program. In expanding our mission throughout SW Washington and NW Oregon, we are committed to becoming better prepared to serve people of all genders, orientations, ethnicity, physical ability, socio-economic status, political belief and faith, consistent with Scouting’s traditions and values.”
Honestly, I do feel some sympathy for those who have tried to continue with Scouting. I know each troop can kind of set its own rules, but they way the parent organization has done this leaves people who don’t want to swallow those “guidelines” little room to maneuver.
In the end, it reminds me a bit of the “You knew I was a snake when you picked me up” kind of thing.
Sad.
