Boy Scouts of America changing name to more inclusive Scouting America after years of woes
The Boy Scouts of America is changing its name for the first time in its 114-year history. The Texas-based organization is announcing at its annual meeting in Florida on Tuesday that it will become Scouting America.

Another positive step in the right direction for an organization rife with brokenness. There's a lot I don't like about the organization, but this is something a love--a scouting organization open to young women and the lgbtq community. The next step is being inclusive of nonreligious agnostic and atheist youth and leaders. As well as ending the cultural appropriation of Native American peoples.
May this organization continue to build up youth, never allow further violence against youth, and make amends for all the wrongs. There's a lot of good that comes out of organizations like this and I won't discount it even though it's riddled with a dark history.

Devils advocate speaking...do you want a culture war? Because this is how you get a culture war: cis white males, once again, get the short end of the stick when it comes to divvying up inclusivity.
Yes, will the injustices ever stop? Here's a great article about it.
When you're accustomed to privilege equality feels like oppression.
Too bad.
Hahahahah, you lot are fucking afraid of everything!!
Your "devil's advocate" is a moron that can safely be told to fuck off. "Cis white males" aren't losing shit -- it's the same damn program it's always been except it's open to all kids now ... and hopefully has far fewer kids getting molested by the adult leaders
cis white male
I would love to hear your "devil's advocate" explain how are the white kids are being hurt by this change.
