Scout leaders BAN 'dinner ladies', 'man made' and 'Christian name'

Woke Scout leaders BAN terms like ‘dinner ladies’, ‘man made’ and ‘Christian name’ as they rename ‘Chinese Whispers’ game ‘Broken Telephone’ to avoid causing offence to anyone

  • Scouts, children aged 10 to 14, banned from using ‘Christian’ or ‘maiden’ name 
  • Style guide adds that ‘school dinner assistants’ is preferred to ‘dinner ladies’ 
  • Children must not use the term ‘down under’ to refer to Australia or New Zealand
  • Comes amid backlash over bringing in ‘trans fun badge’ for members last week

Scout leaders have issued a new woke style guide banning children from using the terms ‘falling on death ears’, ‘man made’ and ‘dinner ladies’.

Children will also be prohibited from using ‘maiden name’ and Christian name’ in a move to avoid causing offence to people of ‘all genders, religions, races and to those who live with a disability’.

Instead, Scouts are told to use ‘first name’ or ‘given name’ instead, while ‘previous name’ is preferred to ‘maiden name’ as it is an ‘outdated term’.

Also included is ‘school meals supervisors’ or ‘school dinner assistants’ instead of ‘dinner ladies’.

The document adds that Scouts, made up of children aged between 10 and 14, will now play ‘broken telephone’ instead of the traditional ‘Chinese whispers’ game.

And children are told not to use ‘down under’ to refer to Australia or New Zealand.

It comes as the Scout Association is already facing a backlash after introducing a ‘trans fun badge’ for members as young as four.

The style guide has been introduced as part of efforts to avoid causing offence to people of ‘all genders, religions, races and to those who live with a disability’

Tory MP Nigel Mills told The Sun: ‘It’s a real shame that even the Scouts are now getting involved in this woke madness.

‘They are the symbol of everything free and traditional. You expect them to let children live their lives — not suffocate them with this PC agenda.’

There are almost half a million youngsters in the Scout Association’s various divisions. Television presenter Bear Grylls is the Chief Scout, acting as figurehead of the organisation, while the Duchess of Cambridge and Duke of Kent are joint presidents.

A spokesperson for the Scout Association said: ‘We’re proud to ensure that everything we do is as inclusive as possible and using the right language is part of that process.’

It comes as Girl Guide chiefs were today accused of promoting ‘woke claptrap’ after advising leaders to learn almost 100 terms linked to gender and sexual identity.

Britain’s biggest girls’ group has advised staff to learn a glossary of words such as ‘aromantic’, ‘demisexual’ and ‘agender’, saying ‘it might be worth printing it off… so you can reference it’ with children.

The glossary also includes ‘pansexual’ – ‘attraction for members of all gender identities/expressions’ – and ‘constellation’, the structure of polyamorous relationships. The guidance, first reported by the Sunday Express, encourages girls to learn the glossary in a task called the ‘vocabulary extravaganza’.

Last week, the House of Commons committee was also said to be looking at setting up a human rights ‘ombudsperson’ to handle complaints made against public authorities.

It is thought to be the first time the term – a ‘woke’ substitute for the word ‘ombudsman’ – has been used for official parliamentary business.

The NHS has also been accused of going woke in recent days, after using the term ‘chestfeeding’ instead of breastfeeding and asking men if they are pregnant before getting a scan.

And last month woke researchers said calling the fattest category of people ‘morbidly’ obese is offensive.

They urged doctors and scientists to stop referring to unsuccessful attempts to lose weight as ‘failures’.

Terms used moving forward should include ‘ineffective’ or ‘insufficient’ weight loss, or even ‘secondary weight regain’.
