Before we get too celebratory over Boy Scouts, let us remember their exclusionary policies with regard to LGBTQ.
And, FYI, at their highest level, they play Indian. They mean well, but it is wrong. I'm referring to the Order of the Arrow.
A few years ago, we were doing some of our sacred night dances. My nephews and nieces were dancing. Little did we know, a group of Boy Scouts from Louisiana were there, in the dark, watching. They went back to Louisiana and started performing our dances for the purpose of entertainment in a plaza. Again, wrong.
