Now required to become Eagle Scout. I guess I know a new criteria to weed out future employees.

So they now support Marxism?
What a bunch of idiots!

They ended when they dropped boys from their name!

You know. I was ok with letting girls in. Girl Scouts is a **** organization. But this is over the top. BSA has clearly learned nothing

What the **** are they doing?

Trail Life USA.

We do what the Boy Scouts used to do.

Enraged.

If this happens my kids are done. I'll find another way to teach them the lessons and share the experiences I had in Scouting.

It's pretty scary when there are ZERO organizations or companies who are becoming more conservative.

Eagle Scout here... if this is true, it's some BS check the box item that's not needed. The BSA teaches/ reinforces core values that lead to being good citizens.

I blame Gates for the disaster scouting has become at the national level.

I'm still convinced that scouting can be saved at the local level. It's all about having engaged leaders to lead!

It has been. It's called Trail Life USA.

Does the Outkick article have any source that is more recent than June 2020? What has the BSA done since? My son just earned his Eagle rank and aged out. No such badge was required. Moreover, scouting at the local level never required us to affirm anything contrary to our faith.

Article references this tweet...

...and the subsequent tweet references this article:

The latest we have seen from the BSA themselves...

Perhaps the BSA has learned a few things about the various controversies of racism in the intervening months? Perhaps Outkick should refer to newer developments?

Did these people know what BLM, the organization, stands for? And I'm not referring to the acronym. Someone please tell me how BLM has helped black people.

The sister organization to Trail Life

Find a Trail Life chapter for your sons to join. It's a Christ-based group and you won't have to deal with any of that political BS. My son joined as a kindergartener this year and has really enjoyed the monthly campouts and outdoor activities. The best part is you don't have to worry about these woke issues being shoved down their throats. They are being guided by Christian principals.

As someone with an active Scout, I have not seen anything like this

Is there an address to return 42 year old Eagle badge?

It's definitely in the works at the national level. Coming to a troop near you.

I used to laugh at Girl Scouts for having a self esteem merit badge. BSA is now 10X worse.

Spent a lot of great years as a Scoutmaster and enjoyed watching my sons move through the program. Too bad it's been destroyed.

Meh, I'll just pencil whip it in my troop. Too easy. Most of the other scoutmasters I've talked to have said the same

Or fire Boy Scouts and join Trail Life.

Absolute f'ing insanity if they add a Marxist badge like this.

Burn it down.

The Academies brag about how many Eagle Scouts they have and even the A&M Corps recognizes Eagle Scouts with a medal that they get to wear.

Time for that to end for the scouts no longer even honor their own oath.

BSA: just another domino that has fallen...

Older son hated it in elementary school after 4th grade, younger one never did it. Happy we didn't waste our time in it.

Former Eagle Scout here. I say former because neither of my sons know what the boy scouts is nor will they join.

Also former NBA fan. If my son's become NBA fans it won't be because of me. Breaking the cycle.

How diverse are they ? Do they deal with raising wild/dangerous/ exotic animals of Asia or Africa as : The Indian Taipan, Eastern Brown Snake, Box jelly fish ? Or are they racist, sexist, homophobic parents raising the same type of kids that won't even help non domesticated animals like Tigers/Lions/ Black Mambas ?

Just to clarify. I am being completely sarcastic and I figured somebody would take me seriously because our country has gone insane. Nothing, no matter how crazy it is , is not believable due to the constant stream of leftist lunacy . Satire is being killed by the day.
