The Boy Scouts are en route to holding that there is nothing to being a boy, and nothing to the boys becoming a man; they might as well be the Unisex Scouts, as they are in Canada, where the scouting movement has collapsed.

Well, I am sure collapse is the overall goal.
Like marriage. They want to destroy that too.
They want to destroy anything that is good.

Well, as Tom Lehrer famously sang:
Be prepared! and be careful not to do
Your good deeds when there’s no one watching you.
If you’re looking for adventure of a
New and different kind,
And you come across a girl scout who is
Similarly inclined,
Don’t be nervous, don’t be flustered, don’t be scared.
Be prepared!

If they allow homosexuals in the boy scouts they may as well shut down-—It’s over.

“Boy scouting” is becoming “scouting for boys”.

Who could have seen that coming?
Since the perverts have forced the institution to "join" them, I will have nothing to do with them in any form. Guess they'll just have to exist as another branch of the dystopic government. Sort of another welfare program for the indolent pervs, like PBS.
Good luck to them.

You are right. In addition, the Sodomites are waiting for untrammeled access to their created 12 year old pleasure boys. Once the Sodomites obtain their goal of lowering the age of consent the harvest will begin.

Esolen is simply the best, the absolute best, Christian traditionalist writer available today. This is one of his all-time best pieces. It defines manliness superbly. And it shows, sadly, the abyss into which we are descending.
Every father and every mother should read this.
To: newheart
Almost every single time I read a reflection by Anthony Esolen, I think, "These are the wisest and most compelling words ever written on this subject." He's a gift to humanity.
Thank you for posting this.

First Things, Crisis Magazine, Touchstone Magazine and thepublicdiscourse.com keep his work out there. Always worth the read.

My question is what good can come of it? The only thing I can think would be that perhaps providing an opportunity for some young forming minds to see that being a young man with male interests can be enjoyable. Perhaps a rare opportunity for many of them.

That is a great article. Thank you for posting it.
Sad. That we have reached the point where this view of things must be explained.
