Preface
I was an Eagle Scout, earning the honor at 13. It was the highlight of my young life, and though I was juvenile, I was all-in on Scouting male self-improvement. From this foundation, I developed an interest in camping, rock climbing, and athletics, and eventually spent a month at the North Carolina Outward Bound. This is another outdoor adventure program for older kids that has methods and an original philosophy similar to that of the Boy Scouts.
I also attended a coed winter camping ski trek in Wyoming’s Wind River wilderness with a similar group, National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS). Its motto was, “to elevate the leader in everyone.” I vividly recall being sent off into sub-zero conditions by its rabidly enthusiastic founder, Paul Petzoldt.
On that trip, I shared a tent with a girl who made it clear that she liked me. Since I was too shy to reciprocate (true), she paid me back by slipping a pair of panties into my luggage for my girlfriend at home to scream about later. Drama like this was never seen in the original Outward Bound, which was designed to foster male strengths and bonding.
Scouting has been eviscerated by the forces I will describe in this essay, a sad state of affairs that brings tears to my eyes. Our young men now have to search for male mentorship where they can, rather than through wonderful groups like these.
Summary
• The Boy Scouts of America, founded in 1910, developed methods to cultivate masculine virtues in boys through outdoor challenges, male mentorship, and a code of honor that emphasized self-reliance, courage, and service to others.
• Between 2013 and 2025, the organization underwent a series of policy changes that systematically eliminated its male-focused mission, culminating in dropping the word “boy” from its name entirely.
• The changes followed a pattern: first, openly accepting gay scouts (2013); then gay adult leaders (2015); then transgender boys (2017); then girls (2019); and finally, rebranding as “Scouting America” (2024).
• Outward Bound, founded in 1941 by German educator Kurt Hahn to develop character through outdoor challenge, has followed a similar trajectory, now offering “LGBTQ”-specific programs and promoting “diversity, equity, and inclusion” initiatives.
• The destruction of these male-development organizations reflects broader cultural forces that pathologize traditional masculinity and deny that boys and girls have different developmental needs.
• Trail Life USA and similar Christian scouting organizations have emerged as alternatives, growing rapidly as families seek programs that still affirm masculine identity and male mentorship.
The rise and fall of Scouting
British war veteran Robert Baden-Powell was an aristocrat at a time when the term was still associated with virtue. He observed that industrial society was failing to prepare boys for manhood, so he brought his vision for male development to America. Young males who once learned strength, self-reliance, and resourcefulness from farming and manual labor were spending their days in schools and their evenings on city streets. Baden-Powell had witnessed firsthand during the Siege of Mafeking in South Africa that boys could rise to extraordinary challenges when given proper guidance and opportunity, and he created scouting to fill the modern void.*
By the end of its first decade, hundreds of thousands of American boys had enlisted in the Boy Scouts. The appeal was straightforward: boys craved adventure, physical challenge, and the company of other males. They wanted to test themselves against nature and against their own limitations. The Boy Scouts provided a framework for these natural drives, channeling boyish energy toward constructive ends.
Boys organized themselves into small groups called patrols, led by older boys who had demonstrated competence and character. Adult male leaders served as guides and mentors, while allowing the boys substantial autonomy in planning and executing their activities. The Scout Oath required participants to be “morally straight” and to do their “duty to God,” while the Scout Law outlined 12 points of character: trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
These virtues reflected what society understood as essential to masculine character. Theodore Roosevelt, who served as Chief Scout Citizen, reminded the Scouts in 1915 that “manliness in its most rigorous form can be and ought to be accompanied by unselfish consideration for the rights and interests of others.” Baden-Powell himself wrote that the Scout must ask, when forced to choose between two courses of action: “Which is my duty? That is, which is best for other people?”
*My editor, KEC, comments, Baden-Powell later collaborated with his sister to create the Girl Scouts. The group was never distorted by the forces that destroyed the Boy Scouts. They have never been asked to give up the word “girl” or to accept boys. The organization continues to restrict membership to females and to promote an “I got this” attitude of female empowerment. No major cultural figures have called this exclusion problematic; the pressure flows in only one direction. But the Girl Scouts, as an organization, was itself eviscerated when the Scouts opened to girls. The cool physical girls left and joined the boys’ group.
Methods that built men
The program combined outdoor skills, physical challenges, and a moral framework that boys could grasp and apply. Camping trips taught practical competence. Learning to build a fire, pitch a tent, or navigate with a map and compass gave boys confidence in their abilities. These were concrete accomplishments that a boy could point to as proof of his growing capability.
Yoho: I coached my son and daughter twins on changing a tire when they were six, and they were able to do it independently with just a little muscle help. Twelve years later, while attending the elite Brown University, they were the only ones in a group of six who could do it when they had a flat on a road trip.
The organization grasped that boys learn best from other males. Scoutmasters modeled masculine virtue through their actions. They showed boys that strength could be gentle, that authority could be earned rather than imposed, and that men could be both tough and kind. The patrol system allowed older boys to mentor younger ones, creating a natural hierarchy based on competence and character rather than arbitrary authority.
Boys progressed through the ranks by mastering specific skills and demonstrating character. The Eagle Scout award stood as the pinnacle achievement, requiring years of sustained effort, leadership of a significant service project, and mastery of dozens of merit badges. Earning Eagle Scout meant something because it was difficult. Employers and college admissions officers recognized the award as a reliable indicator of character and capability.
Boys tested themselves on mountain trails, in whitewater rapids, and on rock faces. They learned that fear could be managed and overcome. They discovered that their bodies were capable of more than they had imagined. They found that pushing through discomfort and fatigue built both physical and mental strength. These lessons came not from lectures but from direct experience.
The program cultivated civic masculinity. Service projects taught boys to use their strength for the benefit of others. The Daily Good Turn made helping others a habit. The emphasis on duty to country and community gave boys a sense that they were part of something larger than themselves. It was masculinity oriented toward building and protecting rather than dominating.
A parallel vision: Outward Bound
Three decades after the founding of the Boy Scouts, another educator had similar concerns about youth development. Kurt Hahn, a German-born man who fled Nazi persecution in 1933, believed that modern society was producing six specific declines in young people: decline of fitness due to modern methods of locomotion, decline of initiative and enterprise due to spectatoritis,* decline of memory and imagination due to the confused restlessness of modern life, decline of skill and care due to the weakened tradition of craftsmanship, decline of self-discipline due to the availability of stimulants and tranquilizers, and decline of compassion due to the unseemly haste with which modern life is conducted.
*KEC, again: “Watching top athletes while being encouraged to gulp down garbage is a bizarre juxtaposition. Cultural Marxists derided our culture for such things as spectator sports, as they removed men from truly living. It is both true and applies to all humanity. I think the communists do/did the same thing with public executions.”
In 1941, Hahn partnered with British shipping magnate Sir Lawrence Holt to create the first Outward Bound school in Aberdovey, Wales. The program emerged from a practical problem: young merchant mariners were dying at alarming rates when their ships were torpedoed during World War II. Holt noticed that older, more experienced seamen often survived while younger sailors perished. The difference, he believed, was not physical strength but mental resilience and the will to survive.
Hahn designed a program that would build that resilience through short, intense courses that combined rigorous physical challenge with character development. They emphasized small-boat handling, rock climbing, and sea rescue operations. But the physical activities served a deeper purpose: to teach young people that they possessed hidden strengths and capabilities. The program’s motto is: “To serve, to strive, and not to yield.”
Like Baden-Powell, Hahn understood that character is developed by confronting challenges. He believed that every child possessed innate spiritual powers and moral judgment, but that modern society dulled these capacities during adolescence. The remedy was what he called experiential therapy—placing young people in situations that demanded courage, cooperation, and perseverance. Physical training was built on self-respect and awareness. Expeditions taught planning and resilience. Service projects developed compassion. All of these elements worked together to prepare young people for what Hahn called “the Great Journey into Life.”
Outward Bound expanded internationally in the decades following World War II. The first American school opened in Colorado in 1962. Programs are adapted to local conditions while maintaining Hahn’s core principles: challenging wilderness expeditions, service to others, and reflection on personal growth. The organization developed specific courses for different age groups and skill levels, all of which maintained the emphasis on pushing beyond perceived limits.
Systematic destruction
The Boy Scouts of America held firm on its core values for nearly a century. In 2000, the Supreme Court ruled in Boy Scouts of America v. Dale that the organization had a First Amendment right to exclude an openly gay assistant scoutmaster. The Court found that the Boy Scouts’ position that homosexual conduct was not morally straight was a protected expression of the organization’s values. This should have settled the matter.
But progressive activists organized campaigns against the organization, and major corporations threatened to withdraw funding. Media coverage portrayed the Boy Scouts as bigoted and out of step with modern values. Despite the Supreme Court victory, the organization’s leadership concluded that maintaining its standards would be too costly.
In May 2013, the Boy Scouts voted to allow openly gay youth members while maintaining the ban on gay adult leaders. The organization claimed that this represented a balanced compromise, but it did not hold. In July 2015, the Boy Scouts lifted the ban on gay adult leaders entirely. The Supreme Court decision that had protected the organization’s right to exclude now meant nothing because the organization had voluntarily abandoned its values.
In 2017, the organization announced that it would accept transgender boys—that is, biological girls who identified as male—into the program. In 2018, it announced that girls would be allowed into the main Boy Scout program for ages 11 to 17. The program changed its name from Boy Scouts to Scouts BSA. The word “boy” disappeared from promotional materials, replaced with the generic term “youth.”
In 2024, the organization announced that the parent organization would rebrand as Scouting America, eliminating the last use of “boy” from its entire portfolio. The organization now has a Chief Diversity Officer and Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion. It requires all Eagle Scouts to earn a diversity, equity, and inclusion badge. The website emphasizes creating “a welcoming, safe environment where Scouts can freely express themselves.”
Each change followed the same script. Progressive activists identified a group that the Boy Scouts excluded. They portrayed this exclusion as discrimination and bigotry. They organized media campaigns and threatened financial consequences. The Boy Scouts’ leadership, desperate to maintain cultural acceptance and corporate funding, capitulated. Then the cycle began again with a new group.
Outward Bound
Outward Bound has undergone a similar transformation, though less visibly than the Boy Scouts. The organization now offers LGBTQ-specific programs explicitly designed to create “affinity spaces” for queer and transgender youth. Outward Bound California partnered with OUT There Adventures to create the first teen LGBTQ backpacking course, which combined wilderness experience in Yosemite with participation in San Francisco Pride events. The program emphasized that students would be “in the presence of LGBTQ role models” and would build community with others who “understand the same struggles they go through.”
Multiple Outward Bound schools now operate similar programs. The North Carolina Outward Bound School runs courses explicitly for LGBTQ teens. The organization’s marketing materials emphasize creating spaces where participants can “explore their sexual and gender identity” while learning outdoor skills. Staff members routinely share personal pronouns during introductions, and the organization promotes this practice as essential to creating “safer spaces” and affirming identities.
Outward Bound Canada maintains an extensive Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion statement that acknowledges barriers faced by “Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual (2SLGBTQIA+)” individuals. The organization formed an Indigenous Advisory Committee and launched a Training Academy for Outdoor Professionals designed to “drive a more diverse candidate pool to ensure Canada’s outdoor leaders better represent Canada’s diversity.” Programs include sliding scale tuition and explicit efforts to recruit participants from historically marginalized groups.
One former participant who attended an Outward Bound trip as a teenager later founded The Venture Out Project, a wilderness guiding company specifically for queer and transgender people. This individual described spending emotional energy on the original Outward Bound trip “protecting themselves” by being careful about pronouns and references to partners. The organization’s response to such accounts has been to modify programs rather than maintain the traditional model that served millions of participants over eight decades.
These changes are a profound departure from Kurt Hahn’s vision. Hahn designed Outward Bound to develop universal human qualities: courage, perseverance, compassion, and service. He emphasized pushing all participants beyond their comfort zones to discover hidden capacities. The new model instead emphasizes identity affirmation and “the creation of spaces where participants feel comfortable expressing their authentic selves.”
The forces of destruction
Organizations like GLAAD and the Human Rights Campaign target the Boy Scouts, organizing boycotts and pressure campaigns. They portrayed any organization that maintained sex-based distinctions as discriminatory and harmful. The goal was not merely acceptance of homosexuality but the elimination of any institution that affirmed rational views of sexuality and gender.
Major companies that had long sponsored Boy Scout troops threatened to withdraw funding unless the organization changed its policies. Intel, Merck, and UPS all dropped their support. This financial leverage was considerable, and the Boy Scouts’ leadership proved unwilling to accept the cost of maintaining their principles.
Universities were teaching that gender was a social construct, that masculinity was toxic, and that any organization focused specifically on boys was inherently problematic. Major media outlets treated the Boy Scouts’ traditional policies as obviously wrong and praised every step toward “inclusion.”
For more than a century, the Boy Scouts had operated on the assumption that boys needed specific training to become good men. This required acknowledging that boys were different from girls, that masculine traits existed and mattered, and that male mentorship played an essential role in male development. All of these assumptions were targeted by the insane globalists.
The new ideology insisted that any differences between males and females were either biologically trivial or socially constructed. If boys and girls were fundamentally the same, there would be no justification for separate organizations. If gender itself were fluid and self-determined, then excluding anyone based on biological sex would be arbitrary discrimination. The foundation on which the Boy Scouts rested crumbled.
What has been lost
American boys today face a developmental crisis that the Boy Scouts once helped address. Rates of fatherlessness have climbed to 40 percent of all children. Young males struggle in schools designed around female behavioral patterns. They fall behind girls in reading, writing, and college attendance. They suffer higher rates of suicide, addiction, and criminal involvement. They desperately need the kind of male mentorship and character development that the Boy Scouts once provided.
Instead, they receive messages that their natural inclinations toward physical risk-taking, competition, and hierarchy are toxic. They are told that masculinity itself is problematic and that they need to become more like girls. They are offered no positive vision of what it means to be a good man. The purposeful destruction of the Boy Scouts removed one of the few institutions that provided that vision.
The Boy Scouts produced generations of men who understood duty, service, and sacrifice. Eagle Scouts became military officers, business leaders, and public servants in disproportionate numbers. They brought with them the values they had learned as boys: that competence mattered, that character counted, that men should use their strength to protect and serve rather than dominate. Removing this formative influence weakens the social fabric.
Trail Life USA, founded in 2013 in direct response to the Boy Scouts’ policy changes, has grown to more than 1,200 troops with over 60,000 members. The organization maintains an explicitly Christian worldview and preserves the male-focused mission that the Boy Scouts abandoned. Other alternatives have emerged as well. But none can match the scale and cultural influence that the Boy Scouts once possessed.
For more than a century, American society recognized that boys needed specific training to become good men. We understood that male development required male mentors, physical challenges, and a code of conduct that channeled masculine energy toward constructive ends. We believed that masculinity was good but needed to be cultivated and refined. All of that has been abandoned in favor of a blank-slate ideology that denies biological reality and pathologizes normal male behavior.
Editor KEC’s parting comment:
I read philosophy, so I understand the overview. Once you grasp the ideology, the insanity falls into place.
MN evidences the intersectionality of Islam, which promotes the mutilation of female genitalia, transgenderism of children, which promotes the mutilation of both female and rudderless boys, and the melting of ICE, an entity that helps the safety of women.

I will never use paywalls, but if you want to help me, I offer competitively priced affiliate products HERE that I have personally tested and used. There is a new entry for grass-fed beef.
Thank you, Dr. Yoho!
Excellent essay. I was not a scout, but the original purpose and program certainly resonate with me; I should have been. The systematic destruction of the Boy Scouts is incredibly sad. This is worth fixing. If there is anything I can do, I would devote considerable time and effort to help right the ship.
One of my Bucket List projects was to write a manual for a new form of scouting. My tentative name for it was Earth Rangers. While co-ed, it would cover very practical learning activities that would teach youths how to navigate our difficult dimension and the whys and wherefores of being here at all…
Well maybe one day…. we aren’t ready for Earth Rangers yet.
Fantastic idea, grow it.
Dr. Y – you have the ability to identify the root cause of complex issues. I was also a Cub and Boy Scout. Being in the scouting program in the 1960’s taught me a lot of personal skills and responsibilities that my parents didn’t. Thank you for sharing!
Could not agree more. Scouting built character and masculinity and these two formed what I would call becoming an upstanding citizen. I became a military officer and served for 33 years and guided by Duty, Honor, Country. My oath to the U.S. Constitution is affirmed and does not end until my last breath. Our country is in perilous times and we need boys to grow into masculine men.
I remember my brothers in the boyscouts.. we just loved hearing their stories.. adventures.. then I had 3 sons.. they got it from the military.. the best boyscout camp ever! I loved the changes I saw in them ..
A stellar contribution appropriate for the insanity of the times.
Normalizing sexual deviance has come to be an expectation.
The brightest bulbs in the room ain’t having it, none of it.
Have a similar pre Scout account. Between Cub Scouts and Scouts was this
holding place (not joking) called WeBlows… Cannot make this up.
Webelos was from “We’ll be loyal scouts”. That was the 11 year old boys
No recollection, been a very long time. I went to one camp out event.
They had constructed a caged pen about 20′ square. Gave us bows and arrow.
They had released a few chickens in pen. One at a time a boy was put in pen to attempt to shoot a chicken. Even at 11 knew they were nuts.
The moldy canvas tent in the rain sealed the decision.
I would have to ask my brothers and husband/sons, but I have never heard of such a thing. Sure they did bows and arrows but never have I heard of them shooting chickens. I have mixed feelings about that.
The one thing I did learn over the years from my father’s troop was not all scout leaders were ideal. Of course my father needed other male leaders to help out, but some of the other male leaders were a disaster. While managing a scout troop, my father held down a managerial job in the steel mills. Sometimes he had to leave an event for work and needed other leaders to step in for him while he was gone. He would return and be disappointed.
For example, my oldest brother could be stubborn and hard to get along with. One time my father had to leave while the troop was camping. He left other leaders in charge. My brother did not get along with another scout. It happens. They started fist fighting. The leader(s) allowed these two to physically fight each other for hours. I mean hours and hours. They both were pretty badly beaten up by the time my father got back. Of course my father didn’t know this would go down or be allowed to go down for so long. You would think another male leader would have broke up the fight. But nope. So stuff does happen.
In the end the troop is only as good as the effort put into the troop. People are different and they are all juggling other responsibilities too. A good Boy Scout Troop starts out first with good Boy Scout leaders.
Dee, you are not thinking. Was not suggested it a “policy” was
recalling an experience. No leadership is “ideal”
Stupid exists, it always has.
You have mixed feeling about an attempt to condition an 11 yr old to attempt to kill an animal with a primitive weapon? There is nothing
“mixed” about that.
Goodness derives from what root word???
Boy Scouts start at 11 years of age. Boys that age should start to know that where their chicken on a dinner plate comes from. It is a harsh reality, but it is a reality. We are talking about turning boys to men.
I don’t think I could kill a chicken so I would never ask a random 11 year old child to kill a chicken. I think teaching them where their chicken comes from is okay, but actually telling an 11 year old boy to kill one? No. I’m not okay with that.
However I could see if children are grown up on a farm, and their parents are okay with it, they may learn at 11 to kill a chicken by being around that all the time, and their parents may not have a problem with this request.
If you could not kill a chicken how exactly do you justify having others do it for you? Yeah there is that little detail. One does not “turn” a boy into a man.
One facilitates development.
The idea that “manhood” is learned by killing a bird really does not need
further exposing. It is worse than preposterous, alot worse.
Coercion in a group setting? That is what was occuring.
Ever hear of the famous Milgram experiments? They were not news 40 years ago. Some of us choose wisely, some did not.
I actually said ” I think teaching them where their chicken comes from is okay, but actually telling an 11 year old boy to kill one? No. I’m not okay with that. ”
I do think people eat meat regardless of your feelings or my feelings. Yes, traditionally men are the hunters. I would not ever command a child to kill any animal though. That is not something that is up to me. However I am sure farmers teach their children “stuff” that parents from the city may never approach the idea with their children.
I saw stuff related to this story, but overall, it toughened me, and I thought nothing of it at the time.
Thanks Dr. Yoho
The title alone speaks volumes. There are sacred ((( spaces ))))
Men and women are two halves of one u262FuFE0F whole, yet not identical in form nor function.
Boy Scouts and Outward Bound type masculinity building initiatives are sacred protected spaces for men to thrive, build social emotional bonds and future business contacts.
A place where men can relax and be men.
This pack behavior is necessary to stimulate vasopressin to encourage primitive u2018team building’ and hunting instincts;
a man is more likely to return to breed if he hunts in packs amongst brethren.
This is part of menfolk obsession with the sports thing (sorry ladiesu2026 uD83DuDE44)
From an evolutionary standpoint, male-only masculinity MENtorship prepares these young men-of-tomorrow to be protectors and providers.
Women also enjoy protected spaces- essential for our physical safety, and mental health.
Now our protected spaces are being violated by the delusional uD83CuDF08 propagandists.
I can no longer discern, if Iu2019m walking into a sacred: ‘ladies only-gentlemen prosecuted’ powder room
OR
a space harboring a 6’6; 350lb linebacker clad in a sundress and peep-toe kitten heels.

We would really appreciate it if the folks here would sign this petition because we, despite the fact that we’re men we’ve been through a lot of bad things too. This is sell them spoken of. What’s happening now, as we were again being victimized by a system supposed to bring about some measure of Justice.

agree
My son earned Eagle the year the Scouts decided to allow gay leaders. I knew then they were committing suicide. So sad. It was a great experience for him. Boys have no spaces that are just for them; women and girls are in everything. There are other groups now, but I don’t know their names. As for the Scouts, stick a fork in it. So sad.
One Christian based group for boys is Royal Rangers
I feel so sad when I read this. Now I know where all the men have gone
Is this now a world wide agenda or only in the US? It feels to me like a some kind of conspiracy to eliminate real men and weaken our country considerably. I believe women are still drawn to masculine men! I certainly am and always have been.
Once you understand the agenda is to kill 3/4 of us, all becomes clear.
Conservative estimate.
Correct everything be it food medical or social is designed to stop reproduction by western culture. The war on boys the class manipulation of gullible females, the men going there own way the feminist insanity all aimed at stopping reproduction of Western European society. And it has been working only now are we beginning to recognize the depth and breadth of the conspiracy against us. We must get past this and direct all our energies into repopulating the western world, and hang the directors of this genocide!
As the mother of an Eagle Scout (2002), what has happened to this amazing organization breaks my heart. I was a Gold Award Girl Scout myself (1977), the equivalent of Eagle Scout. Both organizations have been destroyed by politics, and American children have suffered for it. It is way past time to bring them back to their original forms.
My son achieved Eagle in 1999. Scouting and the leaders helped form him to the man he is as his father was absent. I was so sad to watch the deterioration of this organization. I am glad he did not get his boys involved although it was for different reasons.
What a good story about the Boy Scouts and the Outward Bound program. I suspect they starting going bad in the 1960s. To me, that is when a serious ruination of our society began.
I know the answer is following Jesus the Christ and seeking truth and holiness
I wish I had some uplifting words to give here but I guess I can only say that it would be a good idea to pray for an opportunity in each of our lives to provide a positive help and guidance and example to a young person who is struggling.
I like to read books and articles about a Christian man named George Muller.
He had great faith in God and lived totally poor and dependent on Divine providence and answers to prayer. In the mid 1800s he and his wife started 60 orphanages in Bristol England. There were many poor homeless boys on the streets of London and throughout England. He provided a good Christian education and gave the young men education in a trade and then set them out in the world to become successful Christian men.

EXCELLENT!
I like this post the best out of anything seen you put out yet. Not that you care or need me to. 🙂 But I have been talking to my men close to me, about this very thing.
Santa Cruz is full of righteous “soy boys” who I could beat in almost any athletic challenge and I am 60!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Mankind Project fell HARD during Convid. They were infiltrated by people on the national scene and local guidelines disappeared and the men bowed down to USA inc and bent over to take it.
I was in leadership from 2017-2020 in MKP and told everyone that 50% of the men will not get jabbed nor mask, nor social distance on the groups or NWTA weekend. So my insult was “I am forming an organization called MWB = Men With Balls!
I dropped out – disgusted.
So what is the solution?
I teach and lead groups and do my best to be a peaceful warrior, until The Fighting Warrior is needed. My brothers best friend, RIP, had this attitude, fiercely loving and open, but if you crossed him he was deadly. But he died – from a fight, ugh….
We need to stand as men and be men, men with balls, not women pretending to be men, nor men thinking they need to lose their edge to be a man.
Thank you! I would welcome a forum discussion I would be willing to host on this topic.
Bless you
I was a Boy Scout also, that is why I commented prior. Never got to Eagle, but it is nice to see men who did and sorry to see what has happened….
I remember well my days in the Boy Scouts. They were great days of learning how to live off the land and how to treat others. We were fortunate as someone had donated property on Long Island where our troop camped out once a month and for 2 weeks in the summer. My father was a scout leader and often joined us at Camp Melville.
Unfortunately, I found alcohol after I got to First Class and never went further. Fortunately, I quit drinking 54 years ago. I often wonder if what I learned from scouting played a role in my decision to straighten out my life.
What happened to the organization recently is a disaster and great loss for boys who could use the help to develop themselves into real men!
THIS is appalling.
My grandparents would be turning in their graves to see the world now. In two generations itu2019s become unrecognisable. Some things had to go. Sure. But we have in the process sacrificed our common sense.
Put your efforts into bringing back the Boy Scouts. Now is the time. People like you can do it. It is all for the kids and they need it
I just have to add that Riley Gaines received death threats for protesting a male posing as a female so he could shine as a ‘female’ athlete. While these males are deranged or opportunists, behind them are their mothers who are sick attention seeking narcissists.
The Girl Scouts adopted a feminist, pro-planned parenthood, pro abortion ideology. Although I loved the Girl Scouts all the way to 18 as a Mariner scout, my daughters ethically could not participate.
With all due respect, did the Girl Scouts incorporate all those subjects into their planned events? Or were there of course some Scout Leaders that happen to agree with that and were vocal about it? Are these subjects addressed somehow in a type of mission statement of Girl Scouts?
I’m thinking there are specific activities, skills for young women to learn. These activities/skills have nothing to do with whether someone believes in birth control/abortion etc.
This is one of the saddest things I’ve ever read. The entire woke industrial complex has been beyond destructive. And it is still largely unchecked.
stay hopeful and frosty
any other attitude is cowardice
I was an achieved Girl Scout as well, then a leader during my schooling then with marriage raised a family, son loved his scouts, and advancement s, brought them along. Yes, I agree as itu2019s sad the evisceration of our young boys & men. We can band together write more about how we watched it help us our family!
I have five brothers. All of my brothers are Eagle Scouts and I have two Eagle Scout sons.
My father started two Boy Scout Troops. The first Troop meetings were at the Catholic Church our family belonged to. Over time the Priest of the Church wanted more and more money from him to hold the meetings. My father told him the kid’s family didn’t have that kind of money. Things went south. Eventually my father started another troop at another church. His troops were large as word got around that it was an active troop. He took the kids to different places. Places they never would have go to see if it wasn’t for him. Many young men got their Eagle from my father’s help. Some decided to tattoo his name on themselves or give their children my father’s name to honor him.
My father was clear. Girls didn’t belong in the troop. He wasn’t happy about the culture changes he was seeing. Mothers could help with fund raising here and there but this was about turning young boys into men. He realized young boys needed strong male mentors to provide the role models to turn boys into the kind of man you want around later.
If my father was alive today and saw what was going on with the Boy Scouts he wouldn’t be happy about it.
Exceptional breakdown of how institutional capture happens. The syllogism here is straightforward: if boys and girls are fundamentally identical, then sex-segregated development programs are discriminatory. Except the premise fails biological reality. I watched similar dynamics play out in outdoor ed spaces where ‘making everyone comfortable’ ended up serving nobody welll. Risk tolerance gets watered down when groups go coed not because women can’t handle challenge, but becasue facilitators start hedging.
Thank you for this exceptional piece on the destruction of the male and female in our society. Thank you for the time you invested in writing and editing this most important presentation. Will send to many. Heartbreaking. The stupidity. The lack of research and thought our passive society allows to flourish in every area. Marxist all the way. Biblical truth is the only answer to the confusion. The more God is removed from our lives, the more Marxist insanity goes mainstream. I fault the pastors, the teachers, our worthless spineless Congress. No leadership for the Truth. But plenty for those bought and paid for with laundered taxpayer money to make men as weak as possible so they will not fight back and counter any of the ongoing insanity of our demonic government. The destruction of the family all part of this. Pot sold everywhere…now being farmed massively in the US by the Chinese immigrants to further disempower males. The Chinese are not using pot. They know better. This is to take over our country and make us slaves. God help us.
To what extent do you think the the decline in testosterone has contributed to this? I’m reading Charles Cornish-Dale’s The Last Men: Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity, in which he documents testosterone decline extensively. Personally, I think it’s both subversion and a campaign to biologically feminize men.
its at the stage where many adults must be supplemented w T to be fully functional, even under 50
Young women are having a terrible time meeting men worthy of their attention. On the other hand many want to emulate Kim Kardashian leaving young men in a similar situation of meeting grounded women. So many things working against our young people including high rates of neuro issues related to so many transfections. The future is very worrisome…
Please forgive a comment that is off topic, but I felt compelled to mention it to you. I’m reprising Travis Christofferson’s Ketones: The Fourth Fuel. I started taking MCT oil (fractionated coconut oil) and b-hydroxy butyrate to boost ketosis for my cancer protocol. In rereading the book, I realized that ketones have shown promise for improving symptoms of Alzheimer’s, ALS, and Parkinson’s Disease. Have you tried this? I just thought it might help with your Parkinson’s.
Thanks!
I take a swig of MCT oil several times a day. Not sure if it is doing anything…
Such a sad and disturbing trend to feminize males.I do have faith that this trend will change again uD83EuDD1EuD83CuDFFD
I find it a bit concerning that even the old boy scouts expected boys to “obey”- in other words – not to think critically which helps to create good followers of the government agendas. The Art of Liberty organizations speaks to this issue.
I used to see cool projects that an Eagle Scout did for the community and always appreciated that. Thanks for this article.
Yes! America is in desperate need for men (and women) of good character and the kind of training that the Boy Scouts used to offer to boys and young men. It’s terrible that boys no longer have this source of guidance. You mentioned Cultural Marxism as a key cause, along with globalism. Very true. I would simply add that young girls, women and the family as a whole are also targets of this destructive force, which has made major headway since the 1960s.
Perhaps churches can pick up where Boy Scouts (and sadly also Girl Scouts) have failed to supply moral guidance and character building activities. I am aware of camp activities for church-going children that could be augmented to serve the same goals as the Scouts used to.
We would really appreciate it if the folks here would sign this petition because we, despite the fact that we’re men we’ve been through a lot of bad things too. This is sell them spoken of. What’s happening now, as we were again being victimized by a system supposed to bring about some measure of Justice.
