Millions of American parents brought their sons to BSA because we believed in the values BSA once represented. Through the use of deceitful tactics and a “survey” that was written to function as what they would call a “push poll” in politics, BSA has cast aside those core values. We didn't quit the scouts. The scouts quit us.
BTW, this is just the “tip of the iceberg.” The scouts are no more than “dead man walking” right now. It's only a matter of time. They drank the hemlock of political correctness, and become a different organization than they were previously. There's nothing anyone can do to save them now.
After the Episcopal Church embraced political correctness the number of children registered for their Sunday School programs across the country dropped from nearly 900,000 to less than 300,000. And the Episcopal Church doesn't send many small groups camping in remote locations for dozens of days per year. BSA, themselves, have estimate that they'll lose at least 400,000 members due to this decision. When reality finally hits I suspect they'll see a loss of well over 1Million members, within five years.

The left will not rest until they rule our consciences, until they think for us, judge for us and choose for us. Leaving boys in the BSA just furthers their cause. A fire cannot burn without fuel. Starve it.
Once people are given alternatives as new scout groups are formed, they will rush to the new organizations. The new scout groups should be about local values not big corporate or big politics or big media values. The Boy Scouts were formed at a time when Americans had Christian values that went unchallenged, they had no way of guessing that hell would unlease all of its insanity on us. We have learned a valuable lesson about what happens when people have a collectivist thinking as lose their own inate ability to reason.
