    As an Eagle Scout, good. They realize that they teach generations of young people how to be good people and stand up when the time calls them to stand up? Do they think we’ll stay quiet if they give into fascists?

    Eagle Scout here. These asshat politicians need to keep their hands off scouting. It’s an awesome organization that gets kids off the screens and teaches them a bunch of cool, outdoorsy skills. Everybody should be encouraged to participate. Our society needs some fresh air.

      Eagle scout here as well. I second this. When I was in scouting it was still boy scouts and I was always a bit bothered by the exclusions. So happy to see that the organization is now inclusive and standing by their beliefs.

      Now just to get religion out of scouting…

    I got a lot of badges when I was a scout. Didn’t have to use my penis for any of them.

        Maybe.

        Come over to this hotel room. Show me what you learned, and I’ll assess your skills. Then I can tell you if it was fake.

      Idk man. I support trans kids but I don’t want to show favoritism. Why is there a list of transkids? Honest question I don’t understand. dont parents sell at work and in front of stores and stuff? Would this alienate them from their peers somehow?

        Modern scouts sell both in person and online

        I’m not sure how it would alienate them. Being different is already alienating.
