Where does the author say that?

He mentions not one but two articles on scouting for disabled kids, then says he couldn't find "anything that might make Scouting sound like fun instead of social work." I.e., spending time around handicapped kids is a drag and only someone engaged in PC 'social work' would willingly do so.

Horse hockey, Sloth. The author doesn't say anything of the kind.

What he is saying, quite accurately, is that Scouting (and for that matter, the movement) is in danger of being swamped by multiculti touchy-feely BS. Guiding has sadly succumbed to that, as another poster accurately mentioned. We in Scouting need to guard against the dilution of Baden-Powell's message.
