Another positive step in the right direction for an organization rife with brokenness. There’s a lot I don’t like about the organization, but this is something a love–a scouting organization open to young women and the lgbtq community. The next step is being inclusive of nonreligious agnostic and atheist youth and leaders. As well as ending the cultural appropriation of Native American peoples.

May this organization continue to build up youth, never allow further violence against youth, and make amends for all the wrongs. There’s a lot of good that comes out of organizations like this and I won’t discount it even though it’s riddled with a dark history.

    Same reason Alcoholics Anonymous requires you to put faith in a higher power.

      What! That’s also so bizarre! Isn’t AA just group therapy? Why does that require a deity?

        Because it’s manipulative and they only care about helping the “right” people.
