Adios, muchachos.
They wanted to be “more inclusive,” so the Boy Scouts changed their name to “Scouting America”and plunged themselves into hot water with an outraged public (https://revolver.news/2024/05/america-unleashes-on-woke-boy-scouts-intense-backlash-disgraced-group-tucks-tail-runs/).
When the Scouts announced their “rebranding” on X, the platform had to shut down because there were too many adverse comments to publish. Somehow the mantra, “to reflect inclusivity,” just wouldn’t wash. People saw it as a euphemism for “Woke Scouts.” Which, of course, it is.
Once upon a time “Boy Scout” was synonymous with uprightness, kindness, honesty and integrity. What a reputation Boy Scouts had! And now it looks like they have pissed it all away.
Can they go back to being just Boy Scouts? But it looks like that bird has flown the coop.
And so another revered American institution bites the dust, another human sacrifice to Far Left Crazy. Someone will have to create something that will take its place.
