Boy Scouts of America Makes Ridiculous Name Change in Bid to Be More ‘Inclusive’

They may as well call it The Wokenistas of America.

Leftists are adept at manipulating language. It’s Orwellian to the point where they can say, “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength,” and think they can get away with it. The left is bold to the point of desperation.

And the brains behind what’s now known as the Boy Scouts of America are proving it.

The organization announced in a news release on Tuesday “that it will rebrand to Scouting America, reflecting the organization’s ongoing commitment to welcome every youth and family in America to experience the benefits of Scouting.”

The change will take effect Feb. 8, 2025, the organization’s 115th anniversary, the release reported.

It’s the latest move in the Boy Scouts’ drift away from its mission that many Americans might have thought had already been completed back in 2019, when the organization decided to go co-ed.

At that time, the name of the scouting program was changed to the nondescript “Scouts BSA” while the parent organization remained Boy Scouts of America. Now even that nod to the “Boys” part of its history is going to be gone.

Were you a Boy Scout or Girl Scout as a child?

By “welcoming every youth” the organization means it is embracing “inclusiveness” without using the word. “Inclusive” is a woke buzzword. Why give critics ammunition if you don’t need to? Can you be woke without using the word “woke”? You bet. For the wokenistas, it is preferred.

But reality doesn’t vote with the woke agenda. It has been common knowledge that boys and girls are different since the Garden of Eden.

I wonder what the men who founded the Boy Scouts 115 years ago would think about the current Scouts. My bet is that they’re turning over their graves.

In an X post, conservative commentator Collin Rugg likened the organization  to an episode of “South Park,” the irreverent cartoon that pokes fun at ridiculous elements in society.

“The Boy Scouts have rebranded and are dropping the ‘Boy’ to become ‘Scouting America’ so ‘everyone feels welcome,’” he wrote. “South Park strikes again.”

The end game of the wokenistas is a genderless society of spineless drones. Get rid of the boys by encouraging them to feel like girls so they can confuse the terms “boy” and “girl” into meaningless banter.

For the left, absurdity is a weapon to be used in the quest for power — bewilder the youth to the point where nobody knows who they are and then tell them they’re a wokenista and welcome them home.

Taking the word “boy” out of “Boy Scouts” may be a bridge too far — and not many, I hope, will bother crossing it.

I envision the halls of Scouting America as empty as the name is hollow.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
