Now chiefly: alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice’. The Urban Dictionary, meanwhile, explains that
‘being woke means being aware… knowing what’s going on in the community (related to racism and social injustice)’.

According to the Daily Caller, the Boy Scouts changed its name to Scouts BSA and began to allow girls into their ranks. Before that, the Boy Scouts ruled that openly gay scouts and scout leaders could also join the program. This lead to a serious decline in membership and now the organization is filing Chapter 11
This angers me.
My father, older brother and his sons were Boy Scouts and then Boy Scout leaders. It is sad to see that the tradition has ended.
