For over the past 108 years, many of our leaders, in both the public and private sectors, were once part of that proud, patriotic organization called the Boy Scouts. I was a Boy Scout (first I was a Cub Scout) of less than attributed success. I started out as a “Tenderfoot” and ended my career as a “Boy Scout” as a “Tenderfoot”. At that time in my life, my main goal and interest in life was to become a big league ballplayer, not an “Eagle Scout”. (I never made the big leagues, but I did play for three years in the minor leagues). I do have fond memories of the short time I was exposed to the activities of the Boy Scouts. Now that that once great organization, the Boy Scouts, has succumbed to “political correctness” and has dropped the designation “Boy” from its organization name, I feel that it is just a matter of time that the “Boy Scouts” now “Scouts”, will be found deposited on the scrap heap of history. As former senator and the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan once opined, we are “defining deviancy down”, and we are scrapping another time-honored part of our past. It is part an insidious campaign to “cleanse” our historical past, by busy bodies with a political agenda that have been attacking our culture, our monuments, our Constitution, and institutions that we once held dear.
