Does your son play Rec or Select baseball. My kid plays on a select team and I don't know any team that does no travel at all.
(There just generally aren't enough local tournaments to even make that possible and still fill out a season.)

I really wonder how much they were paid for that endorsement...
I'm guessing a lot.
No overnight trips?
You haven't had a kid in sports yet, huh? (Not that there is anything wrong with that.) Over night trips are generally pretty common for any kid in sports over 6th grade.
What's... better?
So here is all of the Scout is Reverent requirements for Cub Scouts.
What specific lesson can you identify here that you disagree with? (Please actually cite the specific activity you take issue with. Don't just make something up.)
So let's back up.
What specific actual virtue of the Scouting America do you have a problem with?
Here's the scout law to get you started:
A scout is: trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
Which one of these virtues do you want your kids to have? (And for gawd sakes, please read something about what "reverence" means before knee-jerking to that one."
That was literally a nothing announcement. Virtually nothing actually changed about the program.
Literally one merit badge was removed and one elective merit badge was added. That's it. And all of the requirements in that one removed merit badge are repeated in multiple other merit badges, and those other merit badges didn't get charged at all.
I promise you. No one is checking kids birth certificates when they sign up and no child is being turned away from the program.
You are upset about literally nothing because an algorithm on the Internet told you this was something to be upset about.
(I don't understand Lemmy people. Who down votes child protection policies?)
He was always happy to lend his fame to the GOP.
And, I mean, it's not exactly surprising that a rich White meat-head is MAGA. It's only surprising when they aren't.
Right. I just didn't stick around to hear the second part of that statement where he said "Obama's election will usher in 1000 years of darkness... AND WE ARE TOTALLY HERE TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN!!"
Just to be clear, "morally straight" does not mean "sexually straight".
And yes, "mentally awake" literally means "woke". (Seriously. The scouts have been literally teaching "woke" for over 100 years. It's actually a very progressive organization.)
