Thank goodness they are not indoctrinating young impressionable kids will all the global warming crap. I would have protested vigorously if they did
You’ve obviously not read my ‘About’ page – I’m a teacher and cub scout leader. Does that count?
I have not read your about page but please, the science is anything but settled, don’t misuse your authority to try and indoctrinate little kids
We always encourage cub scouts to check out information for themselves. No ‘indoctrination’ here! No ‘authority’ – I guide them towards their own conclusions.
BTW, if the ‘science is anything but settled’ why are you so determined that climate change/global warming is ‘not happening’?

I reviewed the cub scout merit badge and the requirements and they thankfully did not include the global warming alarmism
No, but good news – the World Conservation Award has a research aspect (number 1) requiring cubs to find examples of damage to the environment. Climate change resulting from pollution could be example – cubs’ choice.
