What's the liberal complaint about scouting?
- themodelplumber 5y agoFor the big ones, read about the history of scouting, including when BSP visited Portland OR. You'll understand right away.
- mikestew 5y agoThat is the worst homework assignment ever: read the complete history of Boy Scouts, including when an unexpanded not-common acronym visited Portland. Was a link asking too much?
- atdrummond 5y agohttps://scoutingmagazine.org/issues/0811/d-wwas.html https://scoutingmagazine.org/issues/0811/d-wwas.html I assume this is a reference to the political fracas that Baden-Powell encountered with a group of Socialists in Portland.
- micromacrofoot 5y agowhat's BSP?
- atdrummond 5y agoI assume this is a malformed initialism for Baden-Powell, scouting’s founder.
- convolvatron 5y agoi think it was the 90s or early aughts, there was a lot of media-heavy and forth about gay scoutmasters. and I guess gay scouts too.

- gcheong 5y agoThere are certainly complaints to be made about the BSA policies as an organization but I wouldn’t hold that against someone who went through scouting.
- kevin_thibedeau 5y agoFrom one side its overt religious bias. From the other it's being too inclusive by admitting girls.
- micromacrofoot 5y agoHmm yeah, one of those seems a lot more rational than the others... but I suppose if I were to say which one someone would claim that it's just my partisan bias.
