Dear Scouting family,
As our country reckons with racial injustice, we all must consider our role and our failures and commit to meaningful action.
The twelve points of the Scout Law that define a Scout are all important, but at this moment, we are called on to be brave. Brave means taking action because it is the right thing to do and being an upstander even when it may prompt criticism from some. We realize we have not been as brave as we should have been because, as Scouts, we must always stand for what is right and take action when the situation demands it.
There is no place for racism – not in Scouting and not in our communities. Racism will not be tolerated.
We condemn the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and all those who are not named but are equally important. We hear the anguish, feel the heartbreak and join the country’s resolve to do better.
The Boy Scouts of America stands with Black families and the Black community because we believe that Black Lives Matter. This is not a political issue; it is a human rights issue and one we all have a duty to address. That is why, as an organization, we commit to:
Introducing a specific diversity and inclusion merit badge that will be required for the rank of Eagle Scout.
I am a former Life Scout.
I am so very sorry, the organization so badly jumped the shark.
It is HIGHLY embarrassing.
New Motto for the Boy Scouts:
“Not just financially bankrupt”
Does this mean they will or they won’t abuse black boys?
And what about trans gendered scouts?
Notice how there is no “alleged” ever attached to these W/B popular incidents, while media reporters will ever so diligently state “alleged” when dealing with any other criminal.
We only butt rape white boys.
Who would have though the Boy Scouts of America would change their name to Scouting USA, become allied with the Antifa and the Profag movements?

What about let’s prosecute the BSA leadership for enabling paedophila?
“The BSA is still in business?”
The last I heard of them they were being sued for giving in the allowing homosexual pack leaders for contributing to sexual predotering. Seem like every time they make a political statement, they put their foot in their mouths and create more problems than good. Should have remembered the 50’s.

They run a very successful chain of bath houses and gay massage parlors now, I think.
So only black homosexuals can be troop leaders?
Ditto queer ex priests
Wave goodbye...
Can Hatred of Christians Lead to Support of Sexual Minorities?
