With hundreds of sex-abuse lawsuits piling up like logs on a campfire, it will soon cost nearly twice as much to become a Boy Scout of America.
The once-storied organization sent out a notice to leaders that the registration fee will nearly double from $33 to $60 on Jan. 1, blaming the increase on the rising “cost of insurance.”
“Everybody knows what this is really all about,” fumed Charles Greinsky, vice president of the Staten Island Council Boy Scouts of America, who has been involved in scouting since 1963. “This is about the pedophiles and the insurance we have to pay because of these pedophiles and the fact that the Scouts knew about many of them for years.”

Well, that’s what happens when you decide to become the Gay Scouts.
Perhaps, but remember, leadership let them in!
When the LDS kids left, the hole was too big to fill.
And the massive membership drop.
Unfortunately, the Boy Scouts turned a blind eye to the sexual predation of adult Scouters and swept it under the rug. It’s time to pay the piper.
In my opinion, this is much more about losing LDS support, which is up to 30% of its national membership.
haha you mean these dirty old ass-munchers want to charge parents to rape their kids?
They should actually be cut in half now that they allow girls.
I am a former boy scout. Life (one step short of Eagle) and order of the arrow.
I was very happy with my experiences with BSA, but I completely understand everyone’s complete revulsion with what Mitt Romney and others, have done to the formerly great organization.
Since membership in BSA is a voluntary thing, the reasonable expectation would be that the membership will continue to shrink and cause a death spiral to the organization. But at least they can spend like they got it until they don't.

Remember that the courts forced the Boy Scouts to accept leaders that did not live up to the standards of the scouts.
My son became an Eagle Scout in 2015. But his best friend’s dad was one of the troup leaders so we felt pretty safe.
I’m glad he got it when he did and when it still meant something.
So true!!
No better example exists of the utterly destructive evil of the dhimmicrat/homofascist cabal.
True
Anyone who identifies by their sexual desire is a questionable human
I don’t remember any “fees” (except to attend Boy Scout Camp) for anything in the late 50’s.

Yep. They let in girls and faggots, and destroyed the troop bonding and pioneer spirit that I knew as a Scout forty-odd years ago. What amazes me is, you don’t really hear about any adolescent hanky-panky going on with girls in the ranks. It’s probably because most boys in the troops have already been castrated and lobotomized by video games and public screwel-teachers.
True, but the Scouts did it also before the courts interfered.
