TL;DR Summary

The Boy Scouts of America have sent out a survey to members asking whether it's time to change century-long traditions and practices that critics say misappropriate Native American culture. Despite decades of calls for reforms from some scouts and Indigenous advocates, the organization still encourages scouts to don headdresses and imitate Indigenous dances as part of its honor society. The 20-question survey gave a range of multiple-choice options in response to questions about programs that involve Native American culture, including its honor society, "Order of the Arrow." The survey's results are not yet available but will be released publicly when they are.
