Giving your son to a pedophile to take overnight camping is not “fighting”.
Taking your son out is how you fight back.
Fine sentiments. The composition of the “Board” that made this vile decision and how it is constituted is a bit murky. Perhaps the first step is to define the mechanism how the Boy Scouts Board is appointed or elected, take control of the process, elect or appoint clear thinking moral people and reverse the process. A purge is necessary at the headquarters.
In my son’s case, his best friend’s father is the troop leader. I feel comfortable with the troop leadership. My son’s Baptist but the troop is sponsored by a Catholic church.
I don’t doubt that there has been some level of infiltration of the scouts by gays and I’m sure there are some pedofiles in there as well. My guess is that most of the leadership that voted to allow gay members were not themselves gay but just naive about the dangers of what they were voting for.
But again, you have two choices, you can fight to fix it, or you can run. There is no guarantee that any new organization is not going to get infiltrated as well.
I am an octogenerian, an Eagle Scout in 1944, and involved in Scouting of and on all my life. Scouting is too great a program for boys to place your tail between your legs and sneak away. It is worth a fight to save. I have never in my experience, in several States, have ever known of a pedophile in Scouting, except an infrequent article in a newspaper about an incident far away. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Root ‘em out, take back Scouting. Don’t give up without a fight.
Very encouraging to think we’ll have your type thinking as backup if the SHTF!
BSA is one of the best things that any boy can do in forming a good citizen. Boy Scouts is one of the building blocks, if not a keystone to America’s spirit and freedom. It will never be replaced if chickens abandon a fight to keep Scouting.
Most of us have no clue on how to go up against the BSA Board that voted in this queer crap, but that does not mean there is no way, we just have to be willing to invest our time and effort to this worthy fight.
Your ignorance is near total. I would ask that you become knowledgeable before administering the tar and feathers over an issue you totally misunderstand.
You bitch and moan and writhe in the bliss of total lack of understanding for BSA and operational policies.
There are more pedo adults in churches than in BSA
The cost of lawsuits against them is astronomical.
Gay Adults - are prohibited from being Scout Leaders.
As a proud homophobe and Cub Scout leader, I have to say that your analysis is flawed and based on a knee jerk reaction.
BUMP what you said.
Nothing gets the scumbags’ attention like walking away.
