It would be so much more fun if Scouts lived in their own privileged world and never learned a thing about helping other humans, as well as learning how to tie knots.

I think the emphasis of the post is that there was NOTHING about tying knots, camping, etc. in the edition of the publication referred to. It was ALL about diversity. The writer expressly states that the diversity references are good, but suggests that some entertainment and the "roots" of scouting be given at least fair treatment as well. I agree with him.
