The Boy Scouts leadership are beyond stupid. This “half-way” option which allows “homosexual” youth, but not homosexual leaders, will be the end of them all the faster.
The PC corporations will continue to withhold money, and churches will decline to host them.

These are the numbers for Canada from 1995. So for the last 20 years you can see how things changed.

It used to be that there were 80k Beavers, 80k Cubs and 35k Scouts.

Now there are 20k beavers, 24k Cubs and only 15k Scouts.

So membership and participation has gone from 200k in 1995 to around 60k now. That’s down to 30 percent. They’ve lost 2/3rds of their core membership in just 15 years.

Leaders were once at 65k, and are now at 27k, just 40 percent of numbers. Kids/leader used to be around 1/3, now it’s 1/2. So for every boy enrolled, they have a half a leader.

Wrong on churches. In case you have not noticed, many “churches” now worship diversity and tolerance. BSA is no longer problematic! Evangelical or bible believing churches will now drop BSA.

These homosexuals will soon control by theft BSA’s rather large endowment.
