Why don't they just follow the age-old traditions?
For now I'm leaving their names off, because my commentary/opinions are mine and I'm not speaking for this family, OR anyone else - I don't hide behind anonymous Internet sites.
This is the BIG problem today - way too many politicians and people in authority and "squeaky wheels" who in reality are much smaller in numbers,
think they can speak for the majority of us and if you don't agree with them then you are declared an evil person.
Unless more of the decent America loving citizens of this country stand up - "Boy and American" won't be the only words to continue to be eliminated from our English Vocabulary.
This problem isn't just national, but even occasionally corrupts our small local community. There are always a FEW who think they know better and the world will stop if they weren't there...the "power" goes to their heads.
My hope is that the small scout troops in rural America will stand up to this attack on our amazing traditions and not change the name to Scouting America, which I'm sure
will jeopardize their national organizational membership, but a stand needs to start somewhere before we lose our country.
I wonder - will the scout motto be changed too?
God is mentioned - He is probably next on the chopping block.
On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the scout law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
