Exactly. The national org is kind of a charity/nature thing and there are plenty of troops with no politics or leftist politics. It's easy to have playtime, social consciousness time, and learning about the outdoors time without any patriotism, religion, or politics getting a look in. I don't like the sound of these troop leaders.
But that said, they don't really sound worse than a lot of scout troops where I come from, including one my sister was in in elementary school. I don't think there's much risk of the adults brainwashing her son or anything, necessarily. A parent with strong progressive views usually is enough to inoculate a kid against being accidentally influenced like that, at least, if they have an open and communicative relationship with their kid.
