Kooks!
I think the Daily Kos is suffering from a Psychological disorder — “Eagle Envy.”
If you take a look at the origins of Scouting and it's British founder Robert Baden-Powell, the Scouts were founded to train boys in preparation for military service, specifically in the skills needed for military scouting (ie, reconnaissance).
I was just an Explorer, but my son made Eagle Scout two years ago and he and I learned a ton on the hikes.
The troop is where I learned how to ski on one of their ski trips.
My son learned tremendous leadership skills and how to shoot rifles, pistols, etc., and how to survive in the wilderness, year round, even in below-freezing weather, without shelter.
The Boy Scouts are one of the greatest organizations ever.
These filthy creep liberals hate it because they hate God and anything good.
They are evil incarnate.
Here’s the comment I left in the Daily Kos thread:
A few comments:
The Explorer program as presently constituted is not part of the traditional Boy Scout program; it admits both homosexual youth and adults and does not require it’s members to have any religious or spiritual beliefs at all. So on that basis it’s the most “progressive” program the BSA has.
As far as the ideological or political beliefs of the leaders - first, they’re all volunteers and the BSA makes no inquiries regarding any such factors. If you’ve got a pulse and have no felony convictions they’ll take you. If you’re so concerned about the political balance of the leaders, why don’t you sign up? As I noted above, your sexual preferences and your religious beliefs make no difference. In fact, there is absolutely nothing to stop you from going to your local BSA council with a few buddies and starting up your very own Explorer Post. That is, if you actually care enough about the future of American youth to get away from your keyboard and off your butt and DO something.
Finally, this is not the direction of the entire Explorer program. It is a rapidly expanding part of it because it attracts youth. Make of that what you will, but it’s being driven from the general society on the outside, not the inside of the program. These are not kids joining who are then being molded by this program being imposed on them. They go into these particular Explorer posts knowing what this program is and asking and looking for it.
You're probably right. Which is ironic and shows their ignorance. Exploring is now part of the BSA's Learning for Life division, which does not have the BSA's traditional programs' membership criteria. Explorers and their adult leaders can be atheists and/or homosexuals.
