The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) announced Monday that those who wish to be recognized as elite Eagle Scouts will have to earn a “diversity and inclusion” merit badge, which is designed specifically in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
“The Boy Scouts of America stands with black families and the black community because we believe that Black Lives Matter,” the BSA said in a letter to scouting families. “This is not a political issue; it is a human rights issue and one we all have a duty to address.”
