FirstComm already?

So long Phobos I guess.

The DOD focusing on the important things while it is currently bombing the civilians of another country I see. /s

I have received information from our sponsors that the Scouts' rules have changed. We now have one rule, and one rule only! Absolute and unquestioning loyalty to Donald J Trump! This goes double when he summons you to Mar a Lago for an interview.

Yeah, it could be from the onion if all their writers had brain damage.

Looks like thats still listed as a topic for leaders in Scouts Australia, but theres nothing on God in the requirements for actual scouts other than respecting freedom of religion.

They note in the article that all "concessions" were already planned to be implemented. They really didn't do anything other than give a list of what they already planned to do.

Former Scout here. They have done it in Europe for generations. They actually hand out condoms at jamborees and even have alcohol tents for youth over 16 (Scouts in Europe go to age 21)

I don't know if that's a good idea altogether-- just saying America didn't invent this.

Speaking as an Eagle Scout-- WGAF?

If the Scouts have ANY kind of respect left for themselves as an organization they’ll tell dui hire kegsbreath exactly where to shove his ultimatum, these nazi fucks are out of fucking control, the time for peace is long passed..

Gender mixing might cause boys to develope healthy relationships with women!

My local council has a long-run ting exchange program with a Canadian council, where scouting is coed. Every 4 years we send a bunch of scouts up to camp and spend time with our Canadian counterparts, and then the next year they send a bunch down to do the same here.

I haven't looked into how they work it since they started allowing girls to participate, but back when I was in we had an arrangement with the local girl scout council for them to participate and host female Canadian scouts and to travel to Canada with us(and of course female venturers also participated)

The program has been going on for almost 60 years, and I've never heard of there being an issue. Girls and boys camp in separate areas but participate in activities as a single unit.

And that's much the same way Scouts America is operating now.

And on top of that

Venturing and sea scouts have also been coed for a long time.

There was always female camp staff at summer camp who were around our age.

I'm sure along the way some kids have taken the opportunity to do what horny teenagers have always done since time immemorial, but I think it's probably fair to assume that if not at scouts they probably would have found another time and place to do that anyway, not being in scouts certainly hasn't put a damper on that for a great many people over the years.

And of course, its 2026, gay scouts don't have to stay in the closet anymore.

Remind me again why these people hate Iran? They seem to have more in common with the dead Ayatollah than anyone else.
