Over the past decade of serious reckoning, schism, and bankruptcy, Scouting has dramatically pivoted to inclusiveness.

But the Scout Law is pretty clear about where our duty lies!

this is gonna sound corny - especially since I will be turning 40 then - but my future interest hinges chiefly on 50th anniversary plans. Unedited original trilogy would be dope; definitive presentations of the soundtracks would be doper
