I read where the Mormon reps were denied a postponement, so will say this is true...reprehensible, but not unexpected.

The BSA no longer tolerates dissent within the ranks.

Your suggestion about “time sharing” camps is a good one and will probably come to pass...the BSA is already losing money...sure, corporate donations help, but losing camping fees at camps, membership fees, FOS funds, popcorn sales and concession sales at trading is going to hurt.

In our area, they rent out scout camps to non scout organizations/groups to help make up for some of those losses...Scouts actually have to COMPETE with outside groups for access to Scout camps in some instances...indicates how desperate they’re getting.

Yep. It will be sort of like selling or disposing of time shares after the bust. Years ago, I got snookered into buying one which went underwater. I politely offered to turn it back and walk away amiably, but the jackwagons insisted on a payment of $800+ just to walk away.

I got all sorts of scare calls from their lawyers and unrelated sharks telling me how bad I would damage my credit if I let it go into foreclosure but, thanks to those credit card companies which offer free credit reports and even simulations, I found that it would, at worst, knock about 10 points off my score.

I also found out that it would cost them $150 to file a foreclosure. So I called them back stating that I would sell it back to them for the bargain price of $100. They hemmed and hawed and huffed and puffed that someone actually had turned the tables on them for a change. They sent me the signed papers two weeks later and told me that the check would follow once I signed, notarized and returned them.

The sooner this happens to B.S.A., the better. Yeah, it hurt to lose all the payments I had made, but it felt good and was most healthy just walking away from a bad deal.
