The name Boy Scouts as part of Boy Scouts of America ended five years ago.

 They went to Scouting BSA. They quit using the term Boy Scouts a few years ago. Some people are a little late to the protest. 

 The Boy Scouts have been co-ed for about 50 years in some programs and all of them years ago. They quit completely being completely “boy” scouts like back in the 70’s with Explorers.

So they went to Scouting America.

Horrible!!

They are currently about 1.2 million scouts of which almost 200,000 are girls. This isn’t new.

They simply changed the name to Scouting America as the parent organization. Again, the name Boy Scouts ended a while back.

They didn’t change their logo to a transgender person, didn’t change the qualifications, they didn’t take “America” out of the name, etc.

Sometimes I wonder how far people will go to be offended…..

What about Girl Scouts? Hope it doesn’t ever affect the cookies. 
 

Boy Scouts has been plagued for years. 

Yup.  All they’re doing is changing the names. Girls have been allowed in for years

Surely you see a bigger agenda than simply changing names.

The agenda has been in place is what I’m saying.  They’ve allowed gay scout leaders and members and females for the last several years.  So the only thing really changing at this point is the name.  Kind of a dumb move, IMO, because it just brings attention back to that point.  But who knows, around half the country is liberal, so maybe they figure they can tap into membership on the other side of the aisle since most conservatives are done with them at this point.

Understood, and I agree.

In the 1975 song "Welcome to The Machine" by Pink Floyd, Roger Waters refers to the Boy Scouts as "scouting for boys". Prophetic? LOL.

He’s actually referring to an actual book entitled “Scouting for Boys” written in 1908 by a British Army officer thought to have begun the scouting movement. Waters was probably using this line to show that the kid had a normal life before becoming a musician and a part of the machine (the music industry). An excellent song. One of many by Pink Floyd.

I knew Waters was referring to a kid having a normal life in that line. That's why I put the LOL on the end. Thanks for expanding on it.

Not yet, anyway.

If you can't see that there has been a strong effort to create gender dysphoria amongst young folks AND try to keep it from parents in many instances, you're not paying attention.

You may not care about this, but it's ridiculous to ridicule those that do.

There is an agenda behind this, no doubt about it, like bullets pointed out earlier, it's just a name change...for now.

And it was only very recently that girls were allowed to join the "boy scouts", they have been allowed to join certain other groups that weren't available to girls at the time.

It's the frog in the slow boil.

Yep.

But as a whole, I've been pretty disenchanted with the Boy Scouts organization for a long time.

As am I, but it's because of caving to policies like the very ones we're speaking of.

Whether it's college athletics or boy scouts / girl scouts, there are those that do not want to let boys be boys and girls be girls, as God intended, and they're winning.

Progressiveness.  They take what they can even if it’s just a fraction of time.  They play the long game and before you know it their sticky web surrounds you.

The “Boy Scouts” ended 5 years ago and realistically about 4 decades ago.

Yes, they allowed girls in the Explorer Scouts probably 40 years ago and in other groups later. If you don’t think that girls should be in scouting, I won’t argue the opinion. 

 In this case they only changed the name. If you remove Boys from Boy Scouts of America, it is Scouts of America. So now it is Scouting America instead of Scouts of America.

      It's a great day in SETX!

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.

      The game will be live streamed for those that have Game Changer under the Chester team thread.  I believe the radio station out of Palestine will have radio broadcast.
