My final summer at Camp Rock Enon, 1970, shortly before finishing requirements for Eagle
Chicago AM 560 and Salem Radio host Dan Proft and I had fun in this 13 minute interview hammering the TSA, statue-hating rioters, overheated school reformers, and Boy Scout leaders who are virtue-signaling the Scouts into extinction. The Scouts announced last week that they will require a new “Diversity and Inclusion” merit badge to qualify for Eagle rank. Will the new merit badge feature ashes and sackcloth, or what?
The skills I most enjoyed learning in the Scouts – building fires, camping in winter, shooting white water rapids in a canoe – involved getting your hands dirty and surviving bumps and bruises. While attending a National Scout Jamboree in Idaho, I also learned how much I dislike marching in step with thousands of other people. Scouting taught me to view minor hardships simply as transaction costs for great adventures. The Scouts are ill-advised to shift away from their rough-and-tumble heritage. The people who hate the Scouts will never be mollified no matter how much groveling Scout leaders do to the latest social justice warrior fashions.
