Hello Mike,

[..]

 >> I see the B.S.A. has changed its name to "Scouting America" Which is a
 >> usurpation since the Boy Scouts were invented by Robert Baden-Powell in
 >> Merrie Olde England as the Boy Scouts Association in 1908.

 MP> I saw that.  That is sad, really.

It is a great day in America. For everybody. No more discrimiaation
based on gender or sexual orientation. Imagine that. No longer boys
only. All kinds of boys. And all kinds of girls. More imclusive for
all, not just for some. That is what you call freedom. True freedom.

"In the next 100 uears. we wamt any youtn in America to feel very,
very welccome to come into our programs."
~ Roger Krone, President of Scouting America

Any youth in America - boys, girls, straight, gay, lesbian, trans ...

Gay youth were accepted into the BSA in 2013, and gay adult leaders
in 2015. In 2017 the BSA announced it would accept girls into the
Cub Scouts, and into the Boy Scouts program in 2019.

Scouting is for everyone. Not just for boys. Not just for girls.
Not just for a clique of one kind or another that wants to lock out
others to keep them from playing.

This is America, land of the free and home of the brave?
Took qyite a while for what used to be the BSA to figure it out.

For Life,
Lee
