“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
For more than a century, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) stood as a pillar of moral clarity, leadership, and responsibility. It was an organization that trained boys to become men of character — young men who would go on to serve their families, churches, and communities with conviction and courage.
That legacy is now at risk.
Top advisers to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other military officials recently urged the Department of Defense to cut ties with Scouting America, saying the organization has “gone too woke” and they had “lost what they stand for.”
Pete Hegseth himself didn’t mince words:
“This is an institution the left didn’t control. They didn’t want to improve it. They wanted to destroy it or dilute it into something that stood for nothing… Five years ago, the Boy Scouts let in girls — which was basically the end of the Boy Scouts.”
“This is a tragedy,” he added. “Young kids won’t have the opportunity to learn these skills — but more importantly, the values. And they did it to themselves.”
