Don’t forget, the organization formerly known as the Boy Scouts also went all-in on DEI, among other things requiring a DEI badge to make Eagle Scout.
In a world where kids have so many things to do that don’t involve getting dirty and being outside, you think that DEI has caused the decline in scouting? I earned my Eagle Scout badge in 1980, and had never considered that creating opportunities for kids outside the traditional demographic would be a bad thing.
If DEI means “A Scout is Friendly. He is a friend to all:, or “A Scout is Kind, he treats others the way he wants to be treated”; then yes, Scouts have always been all in on DEI.
With more than 50 years with the scouts and involved in a local Troop, I don’t think this article stressed how badly the pandemic hurt scouting. You think we have left a whole cohort behind in education, try doing scout meetings via Zoom!
Parent of two Eagle Scouts here. Individual troop dynamics/leaders are important too. If a troop is so hard core that it does not provide flexibility for the scouts who also are involved with sports, the sports will win out. This requires thinking outside the box (for instance, troop meetings right after school at the school rather than mandatory evening meetings, etc.). It also took the village of the parent volunteers. Not all troops and scouts have these resources. We are so grateful for our scout leader who worked with all the families to ensure our scouts could and did do both.
The Boy Scouts were leaders in racial integration, starting in 1924, and the officially integrated in the early 1970s. I guess that’s the DEI Aaron R is worried about. All my scouting life, I was taught we treated everyone with respect and courtesy, be they racially different, or girls, mentally or physically impaired, from another country. We were all God’s and Lord Baden Powell’s children. Why, my Detroit area pack and troop even allowed SOUTHERNERS and non Catholics to join us (and yes, we even had a person of Hispanic heritage). Talk about integrated in the 1960s….
