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.

Boy Scouts of America will require diversity merit badge to become Eagle Scout

“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/
