The fall of this nation has been rapid and surreal.

[bigbob]

Now the pervs who refer little girls can become scoutmasters too.

How DEI ... I’m so impressed.

I have a relative who was very active in Scout leadership - took his son from Cubbie to Eagle Scout and was active in leadership for years after the kid went to college. This is just killing him. “It really was a beautiful thing,” he told me recently. “It’s been ruined deliberately. None of this is accidental.” I think he’s right.

What was the "Boy Scouts" has been replaced by other things. Such as...

Federation of North American Explorers

"Our Explorer movement offers a same-gender program experience. Within our explorer movement, we differentiate between men and women, to accompany our young people in a conscious development of themselves and to respond to the needs of each gender be they physiological, physical or spiritual. This proven method, which is faithful to Baden-Powell, creates balanced personalities and constitutes a fulfilling and happy environment that complements family life, which by nature is mixed, and the life of our greater society...."

Too bad... I had some cool times in the Scouts.

Makes me want to give back my Eagle rank. I won’t though, I earned it as a child in a different time many years ago. Most of my leaders were from the Greatest Generation, helpers but never givers. It was truly a different time of achievers and those that didn’t and nothing was given. So I will keep my Eagle in recognition of achievement and the men who led me.

well, they’re not helping raise boys anymore anyway so..

..... I could have sworn that there was also something called the "Girl" Scouts of America ..... Of course I could be wrong .... But would they be absorbed into the new "Scouting America" Group? ..... In any case ....... They just signaled the end of scouting in America

To put it in context: The Girl Scouts organization have been publicly furious at the Boy Scouts' recent campaign to recruit girls into the Boy Scouts, and is suing them over it.

The Girl Scouts suggested (and I'll bet they'd know, since their organization is part of the same overall scouting organization called Boy Scouts of America) that the Boy Scouts organization itself is desperate to recruit anything that moves, whether it's boys, girls, or queers. They say it's because the number of actual boys joining the Scouts has been tanking for a decade--ever since parents started to see all the news stories about queer scoutmasters going after Boy Scouts in their tents.

It sounds as if BSA itself has become a criminal organization at the topmost, invisible levels, and needs to be taken down--so real scouting can safely take its place.

Actually the move is about success

The startup of girls troops has been a success

[R_Kangel]

"Boy Scouts take final woke step, announce incredible name change"

....... "Boy Scouts" .... Not to be confused with .... "Boys Coats"

Didn’t they propose the same stupidity back in the 1970s (Scouting/USA)? IIRC, that idea fizzled after the Girl Scouts complained.

[Alberta's Child]

I would suggest that the fall of the Boy Scouts began when it became a bloated bureaucracy with a life of its own.

[fremont_steve]

This is old news. I quit a couple years ago and I was aware of the name change back then.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Did the Girl Scouts do the same thing?

[Leep]

I’ve got a better name.
Grooming America’s Children.
Or,GAC.

[ConjunctionJunction]

The obvious abbreviation for Scouting America is S.A.

S.A. is also a common abbreviation for sexual assault.

After tens of thousands of sexual assault claims and their recent bankruptcy, did the BSA really not think about this?

[Svartalfiar]

So does this mean there’re dropping their trademarks and all claims to ‘Boy Scouts’, and a new organization could claim the name and turn it back into what it should be?

[dragnet2]

Boys are bad. Specifically white boys.
