I thought they were going bankrupt because they let too many homosexual leaders sexually abuse the boys.
I think this might be headed in a direction the left didn’t intend.
I foresee, in the near future, an adolescent version of Proud Boys.
An organization started by conservative, blue collar dads and vets.
All the values and wilderness experience of BSA, along with fighting and armed combat skills and everyday social skills.
To get in, you have to eat a fried worm and name off all the states and capitals while changing a tire.
Now....there’s THIS. Makes me want to vomit.

“The NRA is apparently next”
How so? As a NRA life member I can state that the NRA is majority hetero middle age guys like me. Simple fact.
But I’ll keep an eye out for Hello Kitty AR-15’s with pink stocks on my next trip to the range.

In trying to accommodate both ideals and appease the gays and feminists, they now have neither.
This is an unforced error that has brought about the downfall of one of the finest young men's associations of the last century.
Lord Baden Powell would be rolling over in his grave now if he could see what damage liberalism and progressivism have done to his once great organization.
Too bad, so sad. That is what happens when an an organization dedicated to honor has no honor.
Now, how about conservatives do something about that rather than just blogging with anger?
As for acknowleding this nonesense ...Nobody should have to ‘pretend’ that a girl is a a boy or a boy a girl or modify ‘basic biology’ just because it threatens someones subjective sense/feelings of what they are. .....Everyone should just stop appeasing these mental cases and recognize them as having sexual issues THEY need to work on. We do not have to nor should we play their game.
I thought it was higher.
I still have my Boy Scout Handbook, circa 1964. It’s continues as one of the most referenced and practical books I own. I doubt very much that it’s the same. The Scout Code and principles can’t exist anymore for what the organization has become.
Leftists are like a virus. They kill their host. Just remember, your friends and neighbors are leftists and they helped to cause the destruction of the Boy Scouts.

Womyn all over are smiling over this news!
You think so? All their large donors threatened to yank their funding. If you’ll recall BSA won a Supreme Court case on the gay issue. No one was going to stand behind them... this large group of people didn’t exist
Emphasis on ‘large donors’. Corporations etc. are not ever likely to take a stand that might make them a target. What the BSA needed to do was elicit support from parents. There are just under 3 million youth members of the BSA, and if their families gave just $10 to a legal defense fund there would be ~$30 million to fight with. If you add to that solicitation of funds from others, it could be well over $50,000,000 to fight with.
You are absolutely correct. I push back hard at every opportunity.
So do I....I’ll never accept this nonsense as anything acceptable...it’s not.
It was called BOYscouts for a reason.and GIRLscouts likewise...it should have stood as just that.
Financial or moral?

It is sad to see another iconic organization go by the wayside in the name of diversity and tolerance.
Why are the few dictating to the many?
The homos turned it into “Scouting For Boys”
