Avowed atheists will come next. The BSA will be hollowed out in three years.

Everything “owned” by the troop belongs to the inventory of the chartering organization. It would be quite easy for a BSA troop to reconfigure itself into a church-oriented youth program.

We also never received funding from our church, only a place to meet......where we are chartered..so in essence the church does not own this equipment....and so property will be auctioned off, and given to a charity.

I would not be surprised.

I had not thought about that particular possibility.

You’d better check your charter agreement then!

That will be the second and possibly the Final and Fatal Bayonet in Scouting's back.

People who don’t do GS might be surprised at how traditional are the troops.

I'm sure many are, but having just found out yesterday we have an "American Heritage Girls" troop in our area that's where we're headed. Regarding AHG's relationship with the Boy Scouts, AHG's National Board of Trustees issued on May 23 a "Memorandum of Mutual Support - Dissolution Statement". It was no longer possible to maintain the fraternal relationship with the BSA in light of the BSA's recent policy change.

For those looking for alternatives to the Boy Scouts, here’s a good list of options.

Thanks for your comments.

“Personally as Mom of son too, I found for years the number of women as Boy Scout leaders to be a bit discouraging”

This point got my attention more than the others from the standpoint of perception. Your comments generally are fairly prolific, or threads we inhabit are much the same, In other words, your screen name is familiar to me, and I had always assumed the not so obvious in regards your sex. It isn’t the first discovery of perception error, only the latest.
