REQUEST FOR INFO ABOUT BSA & LOCAL BOY SCOUT TROOPS; BSA NOW REQUIRING BLM/DIVERSITY BADGE TO BECOME AN EAGLE SCOUT
Your editor has been asked if local boy scout troops will be addressing this new requirement......rumors have been rampant for about two weeks that this change was coming. To date, there appears to be nothing online from local church troops. Your editor suggests that you contact the respective troops directly. In the meantime, here is the article outlining the new requirements for Eagle Scout.
This post is closed to all comments. Again, comments and questions should be directed to the media source, as well as the local church troops.
Boy Scouts of America will require diversity merit badge to become Eagle Scout
The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) announced Monday it will implement a specific “diversity and inclusion merit badge” in support of the Black Lives Matter movement that will be required to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout going forward.In a letter to scouting families, the organization said it will also require diversity and inclusion training for all BSA employees starting on July 1, and a review of property names, events and insignia will be conducted “to build on and enhance the organization’s nearly 30-year ban on [the] use of the Confederate flag.”
“The Boy Scouts of America stands with Black families and the Black community because we believe that Black Lives Matter,” the letter said. READ THE ARTICLE AT https://nypost.com/2020/06/17/boy-scouts-will-require-diversity-merit-badge-to-become-eagle-scout/
