Attendance Drops Off at First National

A seminal moment in the lives of tens of thousands of young men occurred in 2017 when they attended the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) National Jamboree, where they were addressed by President Donald Trump. The Jambo traditionally has always been a transformative experience for the youths who attend it — two weeks away from their families in a tween- and teen-boy paradise, a sylvan Never Land where they can belch and play with cool, nerdy stuff and whittle and stink without having to worry about impressing girls or being nagged not to do something dangerous. Anywhere from 2% to 5% of Boy Scouts journey to the quadrennial National Jamboree.

Comments:

What a shame for those boys who could have benefitted from the Boy Scout experience.

Two of my nephews are Eagle Scouts, as are many conservative friends. The leftists have killed the Scouts.

At our annual July 4th parade, there was a "scout" float. No boys, just girls. Pretty ironic that they forced girls to be part of scouting, but the rest of scouting said, screw that, I'll do something else. Boy scouts, or pedophilia camp, or trans grooming group, what ever it is called now a days is dead.

It was already starting to fall apart when I was in, and that was the early 70's. Nobody except the higher ranking scouts even wore the uniform. Merit badges were no longer sewn onto a sash; they were metal sleeves put on the belt and most were freebeies that took no effort to earn. It seemed they were mutating to "city scouts" even then. We rarely practiced knots or first aid or woods lore. It was mostly recycling, pollution abatement and similar foolishness. One thing I never saw is the abuse so many allege against the scout leaders. All of ours were great guys and great role models for the boys. If they had let chicks in back then, I might have stayed longer. I've always liked chicks.

My son is an Eagle Scout. He was treated badly by the lady who did everything on her work computer for the ceremony. (Which means she did nothing) The presenters did not ask beforehand how to pronounce our last name. My son will not have anything to do with Boy Scouts other than list the Eagle Award on his resume. My church's boys group is Trailways.

My greatest experience in scouting was attending the 1969 Boy Scout National Jamboree with 40,000 other scouts at Farragut State Park in the Idaho panhandle near Coeur d'Alene. (I am an Eagle Scout since 1968 with the God and Country Award and the Order of the Arrow.) We arrived at the Jamboree on July 15 and departed on July 23, having seen Neil Armstrong step on the moon on closed circuit television. It was great to meet scouts from all across America, from all states. Nobody who was there will ever forget the Jamboree, or the long bus trip to and from it. Back then the Boy Scouts was a virtuous organization, and scouters (adult scouts) were responsible people, usually fathers of boys currently in the troop, and always protected the boys. A few years ago Rex Tillerson pushed the Scouts in the wrong direction, and now the gay obsessed outside world is no longer a comfortable milieu for scouts. Scouting has been ruined. If I had a scouting age son, I wouldn't want him to become a scout in this time. It's not 1966 anymore. Humanity has "grown" and bent. It won't end well.

A popular saying goes something like "you should not live in the past" but for many of us the past was better and quality of life was superior. Girls were girls and boys were boys, no need to ask.

Was in BSA for three years and attended two jamborees at Camp Tamarack in Michigan. Great experiences, taught me a lot, and this writer’s assessment that on a BSA trip boys could be boys was the most but not the only trenchant observation. We wish we could share this experience with our son, but with gay scoutmasters, girls, and “non-binary,” kids along for the ride it’s just no longer the BSA. Hard to really credit the, “liberals destroy everything they touch,” meme but it sure seems that way esp. on this topic.

Liberalism destroys everything it gets its hands on. Liberalism creeps into even the best organizations and in so doing, rots it from the head first.

Officer, Americans would like to report the Biden Administration’s FBI for the act of social media trolling. After all, that must explain why the “premier law enforcement agency” and political monkey wenchers that interfered with the 2016, 2020, and 2024 presidential elections laughably issued an appeal for Americans to come forward and report crimes. The FBI issued a tweet that used a flowery script against a mauve pink background inviting Americans to “Speak Now.” “Justice is better than revenge,” the FBI’s tweet stated. “You may not be Superman, but you can help the #FBI protect the country. If you have information about a federal crime, speak now.”

It’s clear to anyone who is paying attention that the Biden administration is actively trying to cover up the truth regarding the cocaine that was found in the White House. Not only has the story as to where the cocaine was found changed multiple times, but the administration also curiously refuses to explicitly deny that the cocaine belonged to a Biden family member and hasn’t committed to fully prosecuting the responsible party. Meanwhile, the White House is aggressively setting expectations really low as to whether the culprit will ever be found and blasting the media for questioning

Gun control activist David Hogg likes to trot out every now and again that while he supports chipping away at the Second Amendment, he does like to shoot certain types of firearms because he grew up shooting. On Thursday, Hogg tweeted about how nobody needed a magazine that holds more than ten rounds. How does he know? Well, according to him, he has "pretty tight grouping" at 20 yards with a rifle. "If you need more than 10 rounds to hit something you need more range time or you need glasses, not a larger magazine. Hell, if you're that bad of a shot you're safer with a baseball bat

The World Economic Forum (WEF) isn’t the only entity planning for a world where you “own nothing, have no privacy” and enjoy it — or else. WEF’s partner Arup Group released a 2019 report pontificating, “private car ownership needs to end.” This was allegedly going to solve the fake “crisis” of climate change, which has supposedly been about to cause global apocalypse for 50 years now. But give up your car, you stupid peasant, and trust the experts.

There will always be an England, goes the saying. But will there? If what’s happening to former party leader and Brexit champion Nigel Farage is any indication, that charming old axiom may have reached its sell-by date. In an editorial entitled “After my banking travails, I fear Britain is lost,” Farage tells a hair-raising tale of institutionalized political bigotry and discrimination. It combines the kind of systemic abuse once associated with Soviet rule but now sadly common in the United States with the sort of social credit tyranny one sees in China. “…We are living through the politicisation of our corporate sector.

Court Disaster

The last year has shown the power of a 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court. Conservatives had a 5-4 majority for years and were not able to overturn Roe v. Wade or get rid of affirmative action. Now, with a six-member majority, half of them appointed by former President Donald Trump, the conservative bloc on the Court has done both those things and more. Liberals are furious, they are outraged, they are depressed, they are hysterical -- they are experiencing any number of intense emotions as they realize they are helpless to stop a united conservative majority. Some are angry at Trump and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell,

On June 21, 2018, Greta tweeted: “A top climate scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years.” Well, we didn’t stop using fossil fuels, so I guess humanity was wiped out. Too bad. I wanted to eat at Burger King today, but I guess there won’t be anybody there to serve me.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has become the target of an unscrupulous attack by left-wing radicals who apparently feel that since they can’t alter the ideological makeup of the Supreme Court by winning elections, they’ll do it the old-fashioned way. They’ll use smears, lies, gross exaggerations, and false and hysterical charges of wrongdoing to force conservative justices off the court. Do you think it’s a coincidence that these attacks on Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Amy Coney Barrett are occurring when a Democratic president is in office? Meanwhile, the “charges” against these justices are laughable — so much so, that CNN buried the lead in its piece detailing the charges against Alito and Barrett:

The Biden administration on Monday slammed the Republican-controlled House’s version of 2024 National Defense Authorization Act for requiring military personnel decisions to be based on merit and not race or gender, among other provisions. “The Administration strongly opposes the House’s sweeping attempts…to eliminate the Department’s longstanding [Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Access] efforts and related initiatives to promote a cohesive and inclusive force,” the Biden administration said in a Statement of Administration Policy. The House’s NDAA contains a number of Republican-authored provisions to roll back the Biden administration’s efforts to push Marxist-based Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives throughout the entire Department of Defense establishment, including the military.

Van Houten was released to parole supervision, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation spokesperson Mary Xjimenez said. Van Houten will have a three-year maximum parole term with a parole discharge review occurring after one year, Xjimenez said. Van Houten, now in her 70s, was 19 when she met Manson and joined the murderous cult that came to be called the “Manson family.” Prior to her release on Tuesday, she was serving concurrent sentences of seven years to life after she was convicted in 1971 for her role
