I LOVED this essay in the NYT about the "triumph" of girls in Scouting America (gift link). The girls' troops that began in 2019 are doing amazing things. I've found most people in Scouting are supportive of the belated inclusivity, and this piece refutes the hostility of naysayers so elegantly.

What I know from six years of leading Troop 163 is that these girls invigorate scouting rather than weaken it.

The actual harsh truth about MAHA is that it is an anti-vaxx, anti-science, pro-diarrhea conspiracy movement. It cloaks its arguments in abstractions about "big pharma" and "free speech" to generate *the exact op-ed The Atlantic keeps publishing*. Movements like this need to be fought, not placated.
