“Scouting pride” means something different nowadays.






Remember when “sex education” in school was about the birds and the bees?
(and parents don’t need the “scouts,” to teach gay pride or sex education). In fact, maybe the Boy Scouts needs to mind their own business settling the largest sex abuse (pedophilia) case in history. You know, the one involving over 82,000 boys who were abused as children during scouting activities.
I was an Eagle Scout back when it was still the Boy Scouts whose Scout Oath, Law, Motto (“be prepared”), and Slogan (“do a good turn daily”) espoused traditional family values rarely discussed today with notable exceptions such as Jordan Peterson. For us, it was all about backpacking into the Arizona/ Colorado/ Utah wilderness (not Pride, sex, or pedos).
Yes! to the Socrates quotation! Or as Gandhi said, "You must be the change you want to see."
I've just finished reading "Chaos," by James Gleick, and one of the main points of the research is that sometimes disorder can bring about a new, better order.
This is our time, so let's start rebuilding.
And thanks, once again, Dr. Malone, for inspiring your tribe.
