Pentagon warns Scouts: Ban girls or we will pull your funding - Lemmy.World

Been through scouting and boy does it have some issues, but its also valuable. Wish we could trash the institutions as they are and replace them with a unified education org. Scouting is great as a learn about the outdoors and leadership education, not so much as an alternative to tying kids hands to the bed frame to stop them masturbating (iykyk).

Hopefully this won’t be what kills scouts, hopefully the org will have a more phoenix style burn and rise form the ashes renewed and better

opefully the org will have a more phoenix style burn and rise form the ashes renewed and better

As someone who was in Scouts not long before they started imploding from the scandals and now has a kid in Scouts, I really do get the feeling that the modernization they’ve been tackling has been very much akin to this. Just feels like a much healthier organization which isn’t actively trying to pretend its still the 1960s
