The BSA made a temporary rule change for older Scouts (age 16-17) who joined for the first time in 2019. The temporary rule change allowed these new older Scouts (female and male) to apply for a limited time extension for the purpose of earning the Eagle Scout rank, which takes a minimum of 19 months to earn due to tenure and other requirements.
Based on this article, this trans woman should not have been eligible for the time extension, because she was not really a new member — she was a former member of a Boy Scout troop who decided to drop out.

So glad my family and my entire troop left BSA in 2014 and switched to Trail Life USA.

What a project! Collecting bath bombs to give to other transgenders. (Obviously not much care went into sign)

And... “self-soothing” kits.
That’s it.

What's wrong with the Girl Scouts?
I mean if you want to be a girl, why not the Girl Scouts instead of the Boy Scouts?

I wonder if the Boy Scouts now have a Transgender merit badge.

How sad how sad for the Boy Scouts....
Once proud, forever tainted.

Apart from the obvious issue, I thought you couldn’t receive Eagle after your 18th birthday. Or have they changed that, too? Maybe in addition to identifying as a girl, he also identifies as a 17 year old.

What Scoutmaster, Eagle Coordinator, and District rep approved collecting donations for an Eagle Scout Project? This is bad BSA leadership!

They are getting ready to implement a “Diversity” merit badge, which is Eagle required next year.

Scouts age OUT of the program at 18, when you’re not a BOY any longer. How was this cross dressing freak allow to break that fundamental rule?

Allowing a couple of hese things into a troop will very shortly convert the troop into an entirely LGBQWERTY troop as the normal boys exit r convert.

I was involved in scouting as a boy in the mid 70’s, and even then it became a numbers game, with my troop pushing membership at all costs, waiving age and other requirements to get recognition for being the “fastest” and “largest” growing troop in our council. I left shortly after all that.

I thought I read “condoms” in the list of items on that sign. Maybe I wasn’t imagining it at all.

Yep, I saw it first-hand from the inside, and refused to cooperate with a corrupted institution which gave me 9-10 wonderful years, as a youth.
