I haven't heard that. What I've heard is that Stephen Miller said they're full steam ahead with Project 2025.

Ah come on, that involves reading.

He probably wants to replace it with a Hitler Youth style of program.

Probably because the boy scouts no longer fits their narrative of "women bad".

Whole it does teach survival skills and can teach about shooting, most of the skills are just to prepare you for life. Importantly though, it builds a community focused on helping people and doing good. It's a children's version of a mutual aid group almost. This is a bad thing for children to learn in their opinion probably.

Paramilitary is stretching it a bit, stuff like shooting guns is optional and with guidelines from the sane past. It plays an anemic role in the BSA, tbh.

The vast majority of boy scouts is learning constructive things like how to cook, how to perform first aid on someone who got injured in a car accident or hike, how to use a map and compass if you get lost, and basic financial planning so you aren't an idiot with money.

In short, it prepares you for life and situations where someone might freeze up if they don't know what to do in an emergency. It also makes people fluent with the outdoors and feel comfortable spending time outside of the big city.

Tldr; it's a group that prevents incel or gang behavior and helps people make friends.

They renamed themselves the Scouts and let in girls. Maybe that's why? These people are insane and evil, so honestly it doesn't matter why.

Bruh...paramilitary? Get fuckin real.

They’ve done a lot to prevent child abuse recently. That upsets republicans.

I think they want the FBI gone because they go after child traffickers.

We were close to holding right wing extremists accountable.

"We" had four goddamn years and did absolutely fuck-all with it! Frankly, in retrospect, the fix was in when Biden appointed Merrick Garland instead of somebody who would actually care about the rule of law and do his goddamn job.
