Those who hope to find a place that’ll encourage the virtuous masculinity that so often finds itself the target of our mainstream culture have been left with a dwindling set of options.
My family intended to guide my formation as a young man and instill traditional values when they put me in Cub Scouts in the first grade, supporting me all the way until I earned the rank of Eagle Scout in 2018. It worked.
The time I spent in Scouting certainly contributed to my sense of what is required of me as a man; to act on the moral duty I have to our nation, be capable of self-reliance, abide by the virtues that I believe come from a divine origin, and attain the skills that are needed to care and provide for those around me.
Despite the role scouting has had in my life, I’ve found myself coming ever closer to recanting the resounding “yes” I offered to my Scoutmaster when, at the very end of my interview leading up to earning my Eagle Scout, he asked me if I thought I’d one day want to put my sons in what still could then be accurately called the Boy Scouts of America.
I find myself similarly concerned for my younger brother who is currently active in the troop I was once a part of as the organization continuously bends to a culture that has grown increasingly hostile to its original mission.
Scouting Slides To The Left
Not only did the Boy Scouts end their identity as an exclusively male institution when they opened the organization to girls in 2019, they’re also the latest to cave to the nationwide push for critical race theory, or as they and others euphemistically call it, “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.”

Congratulations son, you got your sodomy badge.
The Boy Scouts are soooo yesterday. And dead.
Trail Life or nothing.
Hey there fellas! Bend Over Here It Comes Again.
I am a scout master in Maryland... CRT will not be taught in our troop
I agree wholeheartedly. Trail Life USA is an excellent adventure organization for boys with a strong Christian base.

My son made Eagle about two years before the left destroyed the Scouts. There are still many, many pockets of troops that would destroy these filthy pedo-slime. It’s not all gone yet.
Further and further into the toilet tank they go
Let’s go Boy Scouts!
When I was a Boy Scout, the other troop in our small town reported an adult male Scout for pedophilia. In 2021, I think a pedophile would go unreported. There must be another organization that teaches traditional values. I may have to move to find one, as the city I currently reside in is a state capital, and the cultural vandals are everywhere, including the church I attended for 30+ years.
So, if a boy identifies as a girl, can he join the girl scouts? Vice versa?
“At the very beginning of this month, the national organization announced a new merit badge entitled “Citizenship in Society,” that will become a required merit badge for those pursuing the rank of Eagle Scout in July 2022. Citizenship in The World, Citizenship in The Nation, and Citizenship in The Community are already required merit badges, each of which I quite enjoyed. So what’s Citizenship in Society?
According to the announcement, the merit badge, which was “developed by BSA’s Office of Diversity and Youth Development Office” will “encourage Scouts to explore important topics around diversity, equity, and inclusion.””
One such resource is the “All My Relations” podcast, which focuses on the Native American experience and features episodes titled “Decolonizing Sex,” “Celebrate Indigenous Peoples, Not Columbus,” and “Indigiqueer.”
The should just dissolve. Why go through a long, lingering, self-inflicted death?
> ... as they and others euphemistically call it, “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” <
Equality: Everyone has the same opportunities.
Equity: Everyone has the same [full stop].
Equality is a goal of free societies. Equality is all about personal freedom.
Equity is a goal of communist societies. Equity is all about the commissars deciding who gets what.
The Marxist perverts are surely working to infiltrate Trail Life right now as I write this.
I thought the only requirement to be a Boy Scout was to be a girl.
“Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” = Make white scouts racists
What’s next, they all have to take feminine hygiene training. I have rid myself of my Boy Scout memorabilia except the pictures of me and my dad. I’m ashamed of that organization.
There has never been an organization on this earth immune to penetration attempts.
Knowing that, it comes down to countermeasures.
“I am a scout master in Maryland... CRT will not be taught in our troop”
To what extent can the national organization control individual troops?
How are the national organization’s leaders determined?
