The once loved Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts have gone completely woke. Groups that used to encourage character development are now pushing unnecessary secular leftist ideologies on kids. The Boy Scouts started letting girls in for inclusivity in 2019 and even changed their name to "Scouting America." Fortunately there is hope! Today, Grace Reilly shares conversations with the leaders of two alternative groups, one for boys and one for girls.

Patti Garibay is Founder and Executive Director Emeritus of American Heritage Girls, a group that believes: "...in a world that bends, a woman of integrity stands firm. She doesn’t follow the crowd—she follows the One who calls her for a higher purpose. And that changes everything. That same boldness in faith drives our ministry to build up the next generation of girls who love God and lead with courage."

Mark Handcock is the CEO of Trail Life USA. They describe themselves as: "...an environment where boys thrive! Adults are equipped to lead a program in a structured outdoor environment where boys are engaged in real-world challenge and experience camping, hiking, and fishing; they develop skills in riflery, archery, and canoeing; and learn character and leadership in a practical hands-on manner that is naturally engaging."

Be sure to share these groups with people in your life who have kids!

Any perspective on policy that leans on Christian principles is being labeled as such. What does the term mean? Is it a good or a bad thing? Should we base policy on Biblical principles? Were the Founding Fathers Christian? Was our country founded on Christian values? Is there a separation between church and state? Grant May joins Restoring America with Grace Reilly to provide valuable analysis and insight.

Victoria Manning, a Senior Investigative Reporter at Restoration News, recently wrote an article debunking 6 common myths about ICE. She wrote: "Without ICE, criminal illegal aliens would continue roaming the streets and terrorizing Americans. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are being unfairly demonized and targeted as politicians and activists stoke public outrage. False and misleading claims about immigration enforcement are repeated as fact, placing dedicated law-enforcement officers in harm’s way. We have to set the record straight—both for the safety of those who serve and the law-abiding citizens they protect."

Despite the narrative we hear from Left and the protests we keep seeing, data confirms that Trump's first year spent arresting 'worst of the worst.'

Not including those wanted for violent crimes in other countries. Why are there so many of these protests and altercations when the data shows that it IS in fact the worst of the worst being targeted?
