Got to get this out There

[DMarley83]

So I'm at camp Mitigwa with my 13 year old boy scout for the fall camporee

When I pulled in I noticed the flag flying high not at half mass. Let it go. Chalked it up to pathetic but not wanting to get political.

Made it through a day of scout activities all good. Tonight at the camp fire noticed a staff member in a staff shirt Probably 6'5. 260+, A clear Adam's apple, boobs, and make up.

I've been trying to keep my son on tract to earn his eagle and been having a difficult time doing so but he continues I think mainly not to let me down.

I see this sh** and I'm think why the f are we here! This was boy scouts. Now scouts. Now as a dad not sure what to do.

His troop is solid. His leader is solid. They are in a boys only troop but I'm sure as sh** not ever coming back to camp Mitigwa!!!!

The question is why am I pushing him to continue?

I'm open to hear all opinions if you care to share.

I know it wasn't like that before. My wife was a lifeguard and taught swim lessons there when she was in high school over 2 decades ago. This country gets more strange with every passing day.

As long as you are with him, he'll be ok. Use it as a teaching moment. I never let my kids do anything by themselves and that was 20 years ago...not even church camps. One knuckle head can mentally screw up your kid for life. They don't have to look the part either, one of the normal looking ones can be the worst of the bunch.

The solution is easy.....My child and me are OUT. There is no way in hell I want my child around that garbage. Eagle, so freaking what. He will learn more from you taking him hunting in the fall and in the winter time than anything the garbage there has to offer.

Men are Men
Women are women
All the other stuff is garbage.
End of discussion.

I tend to go along with this. Your presence is support . I see no reason to support those who hate me. I feel the same way when I'm watching a movie or series and they start portraying rural people, Christians, or conservatives as if they are all racist bigots or stupid. I don't care how far into the show I am, I'm done with it. If we don't stand against that stuff, they'll keep shoving garbage down or throats.
