(PJ Media) Wokeness has finally succeeded in destroying a formerly great organization. After 114 years, the Boy Scouts of America is changing its name to Scouting America.
“The organization steeped in tradition has made seismic changes after decades of turmoil, from finally allowing gay youth to welcoming girls throughout its ranks,” reports the Associated Press. “With an eye on increasing flagging membership numbers, the Irving, Texas-based organization announced the name change Tuesday at its annual meeting in Florida.”
The Boy Scouts of America has faced some tough challenges over the years, including sexual abuse claims that ultimately forced the organization into bankruptcy. In an effort to rebuild, the organization went woke, abandoning tradition in the name of “inclusivity.”
In 2013, the organization initiated a policy change, allowing the inclusion of gay youth. This was followed by the lifting of the blanket ban on gay adult leaders two years later. Then, in 2017, it announced that girls would be welcomed into Cub Scouts starting in 2018 and into the main Boy Scout program, which was rebranded as Scouts BSA, in 2019. In 2020, the Boy Scouts publicly supported the leftist agenda with the creation of a new “diversity” badge that clandestinely pushes both radical gender theory and critical race theory. To make matters worse, the badge was made a requirement for prospective Eagle Scouts.
In 2022, a Scout troop in Seattle led the Seattle Pride Parade.
