A recent development has affected the local scouting community. Some scouts opted out of a major event due to changes in diversity initiatives. The decision was made after pressure was applied to remove certain policies.

The National Jamboree, a 10-day event, took place in West Virginia. It drew a large crowd of attendees from across the US. Further details about the changes and their impact on local scouts can be found through the Associated Press or other sources, such as LGBTQ Nation.
