Why the fuck would you get rid of boy scouts it's literally a patriotic paramilitary (kinda) organization with a checkered past on sexual abuse that should be a Republican wet dream lol
Paramilitary is stretching it a bit, stuff like shooting guns is optional and with guidelines from the sane past. It plays an anemic role in the BSA, tbh.
The vast majority of boy scouts is learning constructive things like how to cook, how to perform first aid on someone who got injured in a car accident or hike, how to use a map and compass if you get lost, and basic financial planning so you aren't an idiot with money.
In short, it prepares you for life and situations where someone might freeze up if they don't know what to do in an emergency. It also makes people fluent with the outdoors and feel comfortable spending time outside of the big city.
Tldr; it's a group that prevents incel or gang behavior and helps people make friends.
When I said paramilitary I was really just talking about the ranks and leadership structure.
They renamed themselves the Scouts and let in girls. Maybe that's why? These people are insane and evil, so honestly it doesn't matter why.
which was done to keep the organization afloat revenue wise and weirdos on the internet tried to call it woke in a bizarre case of friendly fire
Also because scouting exists in many other cultures and most of them are mixed. Intercamp fucking slaps
They’ve done a lot to prevent child abuse recently. That upsets republicans.
but then they got woke
