The Boy Scouts of America has caved to the wokists — and, surprise surprise, its membership is down the tubes.
The Scouts, soon to be rechristened under the genderless, HR-speak moniker Scouting America, have swerved left in recent years.
The name change is big, of course: just one more assault on boy-friendly spaces.
But there’s also the fact that it’s been letting in girls and trans kids for some time; during the George Floyd riots, the outfit absurdly added a “diversity and inclusion” merit badge to its Eagle Scout requirements and aligned itself with neo-Marxist grifters Black Lives Matter.
Whatever happened to woodcraft, soapbox derbies and roasting marshmallows over a campfire?
Or the simple camaraderie that outdoor adventures provide?
That’s why people sign up for Scouts.
Not to be scolded about their own supposed racism.
Unsurprisingly, huge swathes of former Scout families have left.
Membership fell from 1.97 million in 2019 to to 1.12 million in 2023 — a plunge of more than 43%.
When are the heads of these big, broad-based organizations finally going to get it?
Americans don’t like to have politics injected into every little aspect of their lives.
That goes for buying beer, shopping at big-box retailers or finding wholesome activities for their kids.
As with the Bud Light/Dylan Mulvaney fiasco and countless other examples, when woke overlords try to make even the simplest, day-to-day activities a part and parcel of some bizarre propaganda campaign, regular folks are now brave enough to shout No!
And that this is a kids’ group somehow makes it all the worse; children don’t have strong political views, they just want to have fun and learn.
Not be indoctrinated.
Whether the Scouts can recover from this collapse remains to be seen.
But what’s in no doubt is the fact that “normies” across the nation are sick of woke — and unafraid to show they mean it.
