From the article:

It’s only a matter of time until the BSA is forced to capitulate to sexual extremists’ political demands and allow homosexual adults – men who define their identity based upon carnal appetites for other males – to take your boys on overnight camping trips.

Once that happens, Trail Life USA will be the life raft for the multitudes. Those who abandon the fast-sinking BSA ship will have a safe place to land.

How are they going to keep the same group that bullied the Boy Scouts into becoming the Boy/Gay Scouts from doing the same to Trail Life USA? Is Trail Life more tied to churches and thus has freedom of religion protection?

I wish these people all the success in the world. They will be a candle in a very dark world!

Thank you very, very much! There’s a group right in my zip code. This would be awesome for my little man.

As a former Scout I welcome this, and have to say that I am deeply disappointed in Boy Scouts’ sell-out.

More power to this new group.

I welcome the competition.

Has Morris Dees and the S.P.L.C. labeled this a hate group yet?

Makes me happy. Thanks for the post. We need to develop godly young men in this nation who are not afraid to be masculine.

I send a two dollar check to the Boy Scouts. It costs them more to process it and deposit it than it is worth as a contribution.

Thanks for this.

I can’t express how heartbroken and yes, bitter I am that the Gaystapo has been able to infiltrate my beloved BSA. My son went from Tiger all the way to Eagle. I was a single dad and not earning very much as I raised him and the BSA gave him so many opportunities to see the world and experience so many wonderful things. I myself was a Webelos leader for a couple years.

Please don’t be offended anyone and God forgive me, but GOD DAMN the Somdomites for pushing their degenerate agenda on the BSA!

With their homosexuality compromise, they simply ceased to exist for me.

Sadly, I am pessimistic about this being a succesful venture. I hope they take over the BSA but I just don’t see Trail Life USA gaining a strong foot hold.

To me, a former long time scout, the BSA is dead. There is no business for them to be involved in sexuality whatsoever let alone gay sex. Now, it will become just like the girlscouts and support and promote every progressive policy out there.

Thank you for posting this article, it gives me hope for my grandsons. Hopefully this group will expand into Canada. The situation here is intolerable. Scouts Canada has taken a huge downfall, starting with going co-ed. An alternative is available (Baden-Powell Scouting) but it too is co-ed. Boys and young men need a place where they can just be “with the boys” and have good, moral, male role models to guide them in their activities. Everywhere else they are in a co-ed situation, home, school, etc.

The one thing that killed the Boy Scouts is something that any replacement organization has to avoid - central control. That was the ultimate death of BSA - strong district offices with full time staff (for what? Never could figure that out, aside from the human resources person who was hired to handle all the fund draining benefits for the other full time staff.)

Once those strong district offices were created, they then ‘adopted’ many of the trusts that funded individual chartered troops, took over the management of scouting resources like camps, and ultimately gave birth to the strong national organization which took everything a step further, choosing to take scouting materials out of stores and sell directly, and then create more and more rules to require more and more purchases of BSA related material and clothing.

In some places, state organizations grew, and in others, regional district offices oversaw districts within their region. All continually sucked down the billions and billions that were in trust funds to handle the requirements of troops, camps and programs.

And then they ran out of other people’s money. Fundraising became a full time task for troops, doubling or tripling the time spent on traditional scouting events like campouts.

The ‘acceptance’ of gay scouts (or rather, openly sexually active gay scouts, as I never came across a troop who cared if a scout might be straight or whatever...) is a symptom of the disease. It was a last ditch attempt to recapture the stream of corporate donations that pay for all those retirement plans for full time adult scouts. But of course, that attempt failed, and now billions in private donations also aren’t coming in.

I would hope that any replacement organization learns these critical lessons, that ultimately, the only district level support should be done by volunteers as it has traditionally been done, that zero (or near zero) national organizational support is required, and absolutely no full time adult leaders at any level.

I know here in NE Mississippi there is an exodus from the BSA since the homo ruling.

Thank you for posting this! Just checked with friends involved in scouting and the troop they are in plus two others close by are already in the process of converting. Hoping to get my son involved although he’s pretty old to be starting, we just didn’t have time before this year.

The BSA is rotting from within, as is the girl scouts, which partners with Planned Parenthood. Sex, sex, sex. No thanks.

As an observant Jewish family, we wish this new and exciting group all the successes in the world!
