Hoping this is not a genuine news article but is satire.

Scouts must earn either Sustainability or Environmental Science on their journey to Eagle.

That's gay.

Very, very gay.

In keeping with the foulest traditions of the Gay Scouts of America.

Glad my son made Eagle this year so he doesn’t have to put up with this crap!

So, it’s a conservative principle to waste resources? What actually is wrong with this?

Who wants their sons or grandsons camping out with homosexuals?

Wow. It was worse than I would have imagined. I just registered today to attend the On My Honor Coalition national convention in September. This is the group that is forming a Christ centered alternative to BSA since BSA committed institutional suicide last June.

I’m more and more disgusted with the direction BSA has taken. It’s not True North, that for sure.

2B. Make a list of stuff your family doesn’t “need.” and give it away. Redistribution anyone.

I’ve got lots of things I don’t “need.” For instance, I don’t “need” to give thousands of hours and countless money to being a Scoutmaster. Maybe in the interest of Sustainability, I should quit.

” Develop and implement a plan that attempts to reduce your family’s water usage. Examine your family’s water bills reflecting usage for three months (past or current). As a family, choose three ways to help reduce consumption. Implement those ideas for one month. Share what you learn with your counselor, and tell how your plan affected your family’s water usage.”

ROFL. A merit badge for people who are willing to allow others to think for them, for people in political correctness. (but I repeat myself)

The left loves to scold the rest of us over “sustainability”, yet none of their schemes ever are. Just like the topic of “Peak Oil”, the worry over water usage is one of economics and not supply.

Curiously, if a Scout were to really dive into the topic of “sustainability”, they would almost be run over by the climate change meme, and at the top of that meme is the idea that warmer climate means the oceans will rise. But ever-rising oceans are full of water, and the left wants us to worry about too much water AT THE VERY SAME TIME they demand we worry about a shortage of water.

Since I can ship a bottle of water from Iceland or Fiji to almost anyone in the civilized world overnight by FedEx, by definition there cannot be a “shortage” of water, only a shortage of money. And that fact is the key to knowing why this merit badge is such a foolish symbol of the moronic left.

Since the scouts are a PC, pro-homo group, I’m not sure why articles from their blogs are tolerated on FR. Jim wouldn’t allow NAMBLA to post their monthly newsletter, would he?

(MAJOR SARCASM ALERT!) Now that the BSA have adopted THIS vital program, the sustainability thing is a natural what with all those scouts bending over picking up trash and planting trees!

The only thing sadder than this development is that this sort of crap no longer makes enough folks angry! “Whom God would destroy, he first makes mad.”

America has LOST ITS BLEEPING MIND!!!!
