Well, I was a Boy Scout merit badge counselor. Not after this requirement.
The Scouts (the Boy was removed) is now part of the intersectionality cult. No thank you.
Requiring safety training is one thing (mandated reporter, fighting abuse). Becoming one with Marxist BLM, no way.
"Calling all Merit Badge Counselors
