Families have decided to ditch the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) after the youth organization unveiled its progressive name rebrand to "Scouting America" to be more "inclusive." In return, they have placed their kids in faith-based alternatives such as Awana and Trail Life USA.
Matt Markins, president and CEO of Awana, told Fox and Friends on Sunday: "Anytime organizations lose their rootedness, and especially if we chase these progressive visions, we end up waking up in a world that’s really hard to recognize and very difficult to navigate, and I think that’s what’s happening to some of these organizations."
"We have a saying in our organization that Awana is rooted in Scripture, centered on the gospel. We’re never going to move one inch off of that," said Markins. According to data compiled by the Associated Press, BSA had only 1.12 million members last year, down from 1.97 million in 2019.
