The Boy Scouts of America are about to be neutered. The 108-year old program for boys aged 11 to 17 will drop “boy” from it’s name in an attempt to appeal to more girls. While the overall organisation will retain the original name, the program itself will be called Scouts BSA from February 2019.
Girl Scout leaders have said they were blindsided by the move and are preparing an aggressive campaign to recruit and retain female membership. Girl Scouts’ CEO, Sylvia Acevedo said, “We are, and will remain, the first choice for girls and parents who want to provide their girls opportunities to build new skills… and grow into happy, successful, civically engaged adults.”
Twitter reacts:
What happened to boys being boys and girls being girls? Boys joining Boy Scouts and girls joining Girl Scouts?
Radical Leftists have started a culture war in this country and they're winning. Scouts BSA is proof of that. They must be stopped. It's time to fight back!

We learn two things from the self-destruction of the Boy Scouts organization:
1) The Left will eat you alive if you compromise with them.
2) Boys are not allowed to have any of their own spaces in this ridiculous culture we've made for ourselves.

If the Boy Scouts can no longer be only boys, then we need to get rid of all gender-based legislation. No more affirmative action and set-asides for the ladies, right? Right?

The Boy Scouts are removing the word “boy”
The left’s war on genders, science, and biology continues
Girls should never have been let in the Boy Scouts
The left is hellbent on destroying institutions that develop leaders around the ideas of god, service, country, & patriotism
