AGENDA 21 HAS INFILTRATED THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA !!!!!
HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE NEW EAGLE REQUIRED merit badge: SUSTAINABILITY?
READ ABOUT IT ON THE AGENDA 21 page. Then COMPARE THE REQUIREMENTS against the stated goals of Agenda 21.
THEN GET ACTIVE. Then go to http://www.scouting.org (contact us link) and write a nice letter voicing your concerns. I don't know if this MB has already been cast in concrete or not, but your voice in opposition may make a difference. Here's my letter to BSA:
I am very concerned about the new EAGLE REQUIRED merit badge: Sustainability.
In my opinion, it is a mirror of the stated goals and objectives of the United Nations' AGENDA 21.
If this merit badge is still in the proposed stage, I would appreciate a more formal review with an eye to removing it altogether unless it is revamped significantly. The amount of indoctrination which my son will receive in this merit badge is unacceptable. At the very least, it should not be EAGLE REQUIRED.
This is required only if the boy does not complete the Environmental Science merit badge. They can chose to do that one instead, which has always been a requirement.
ReplyDeleteTrue. My issue is that it should not be Eagle Required at all. By elevating it to Eagle Rank, BSA is lending it's considerable weight to emphasize that "Sustainability" as defined by A21, is important enough to become a Subject Matter Expert, applied in our daily lives. How long will it take before BSA says "well, 90% of what is contained in Environmental Science is contained in Sustainability, so we'll just drop ES altogether?"
