The Boy Scouts of America announced Monday that it is adding a new “diversity and inclusion” merit badge in honor of the Black Lives Matter movement, saying it will be required by young members to achieve the highest rank of Eagle Scout. The organization said in a letter to scouting families that it would be implementing mandatory diversity and inclusivity training for employees and volunteers, among other changes in the wake of the George Floyd protests. “There is no place for racism—not in Scouting and not in our communities. Racism will not be tolerated,” the letter stated.

I wish I were joking. The Boy Scouts are a pathetic shell of what they once were!!!!!!!!

And the skills tests will be on looting, shooting, burning, graffiti, carrying "All Cops Are Bastards" and "F*** the Police" signs and, of course, washing and kissing the feet of ten black people, giving $10 to every black you pass on the sidewalk for a week and, lastly, taking a knee on front of a Al Sharpton and kissing his ring. And bonus points for going door-to-door with Joe Biden flyers.

First the homos, then the trannies, then girls and now this.
I'm glad we're getting out. What a shame.

The Boy Scouts have been on the skids for years. This is probably the final nail in the coffin

There is no place for pedophilia in the boy scouts either, but it is there. Now this.

Aren’t they bankrupt now? A one-time great organization and going PC broke them. The left will kill anything that cares about silly stuff like God and country.

I am 66 years old and will now discard all remaining items of my youth in the scouts! Done with them!

I see why the Boy Scouts are bankrupt. You abandoned your mission, and the people voted.

I wonder if earning the BLM badge will require the scouts to denounce Israel and call for driving Jews into the sea like Hamas with whom BLM has a warm-fuzzy relationship.
I doubt that there will be overt requirements to BurnLootMurder to obtain the badge, but it could result in unofficial fast-tracking, depending on who's in charge.

Minorities of people are destroying everything.
There is only a minority of girls wanting to go into the Boy Scouts and only a minority of homosexuals wanting in, only a minority of people want BLM taught in the scouts.
Homosexuals are a minority so are transgenders, but they are screwing up anything that is normal.
Majorities lose very time they object to anything a minority wants, and I don't mean blacks when I say minority

I think that the fateful decision by the BSA Bureaucrats was when they sacrificed their principles to keep some level of tax-exemption and Government support.
Had they refused to submit, had they kept their principles and morals, and gone private, they would be thriving today.

I used to help a local scout troop, and did several presentations of scouting skills. I was asked by a friend to contribute a couple of years ago, and declined on the homosexual thing. This sure puts the final nail in their coffin.
Why not change the name to The Young Pioneers, and get some nice Commie Red neck scarfs for everyone?

I haven't seen my old uniforms for decades, but if I ever find them I'm burning them.

Ah, now THERE'S a marriage made somewhere south of heaven! BLM will probably decline this great honor.

There are several boys in our family who achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. I would no longer promote that than telling them go become thieves or terrorists. Those in charge today have made a mockery of a once proud institution.

Frankly the whole Boy Scouts thing (from Britain) was simply to raise good little soldiers. Why in the 21 century would a parent want somebody to teach their kid to march properly and live in a tree ?

Are they still around? Aren't they called the 'They Scouts' now? If anything should be banned, it should be the words 'diversity and inclusion' and all college and corporate departments who include those words in their names.

I'm so happy that I was a Cub Scout and then a Boy Scout in the '50s. Back when men were men and they knew the difference!

#21 - Really? That's your opinion.
I came close to Eagle before succumbing to "fumes" (Gasoline and Perfume) at 16
When my son was old enough we were "den parents" for his cub scout years, when he graduated to Tenderfoot the scout master was a stolen valor SEAL wannabe (when I pointed it out to the local consul I was reprimanded!) and that was my last involvement over 20 years ago - still, the old handbooks provide accessible survival skills.

It's sad to see the leftist destruction of what was once a great organization. I'm glad I achieved the Eagle rank decades ago when it meant something special.

I only await an unprovoked attack by Russia on Israel that is inexplicably thwarted by destruction to anticipate The Rapture. Not that prophecy indicates that that attack has to precede it.

The Gender Neutral Scouts have been poisoned by the moral decay of society. Back in the day boys were boys and learned how to be men from the men that were the Boy Scott leaders. Those days gone for good. Merit badges for kicking in boarded up store fronts and merit badges for fire bombing minority owned businesses and another for popping cops on the head with a concrete ice cream cone. BLM is an operational urban assault division of HAMAS and the Muslim Brotherhood. Do the managers in BSA understand that? I doubt it.

My son became an Eagle Scout in 2004. The troop leaders were not nice to him regarding the ceremony. The presenters did not pronounce his name correctly and misspelled his name on the plaque.
In spite of this treatment, I had to convince him to include the Eagle Scout accomplishment on job applications. (That helped my nephew get a special job while in the Marines.)

You used to be able to earn the Eagle Scout badge by restoring a park. Do you get this badge by destroying one?

I'm sorry to now acknowledge that I was associated with the Scout movement for many years...they lost me finally when they rolled over to the LGBTQXYZABC whatever lobby, now they have rolled over to the BLM...it truly saddens me....

From #19’s post: “Those in charge today have made a mockery of a once proud institution.“. So true and so well put.
My late husband was so proud of our son achieving Eagle Scout in 1992. He is probably spinning in his grave like a rotisserie chicken.
Today’s culture have made one almost ashamed to admit having been involved because people don’t know what Scouts used to be, only what is now. So very sad.

Mandatory self-abasement; truly remarkable. But will the Broke Woke Scouts be in business long enough for it to matter? Great work by the great conservative "T-Rex" Tillerson in destroying what was once a great organization that fostered patriotism, self-reliance, and faith in God. Oh, and don't ask and don't tell what the Gay Pride Merit badge entails.
