libs and dems want to destroy all that is good in America.
They were just a remnant of the WASP culture; when the culture was successfully marginalized, it was just a matter of time. Many other civic groups are disappearing; the culture that promoted them is as well.
I went to Catholic schools for 10.5 years...and that included boarding school.I was never molested even once..and I know of nobody who was.
What astounds me is that you never hear of molestation by Rabbis or Protestant clergy.There are surely *some* Jewish and Protestant kids (perhaps not a lot) who were molested. But Judaism and most Protestant denominations are politically correct so they're clearly "off limits".
It wasn’t liberalism or open acceptance of homosexual men in their volunteer ranks that doomed the BSA, but the organization’s protection of child molesters. If the Boy Scouts had a policy of “never diddle a kid, never tolerate a kid diddler.” They may still be dealing with falling membership and allowing gay scout leaders and girls in their ranks, but they wouldn’t be facing bankruptcy as well.
That tall guy is going one of those white supremacist “OK” hand signs and hiding it within his subtle Nazi salute! Guilty as charged!!
The BSA committed suicide.

The lawsuits were kill shots.
The part missing, is that the lawsuits emanate from NATIONAL policies. Power to keep and expel leaders rests with local Troops, many of which remain loyal to the program that has a formed the leaders of tomorrow for a century+. Those local Troops are the lifeblood of Scouting and, for the most part, they are strong and healthy.
I wrote this elsewhere: if you are in Scouting, don't let the rot at National deter you. The Scouts need firm and steady adult leadership. Yes, Scouting is a boy-led program but we don't want to shrug our shoulders and surrender and let the Antifa crowd lead them.
When Obama was President, did we all run to Canada? As his 8 years of fundamentally transforming America progressed, did people of good fiber declare that America isn't worth preserving? Well, maybe some losers did. For the Patriots amongst us, we knew America isn't just borders, property, and structures, though those things matter. America is a mindset, a philosophy, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Put bluntly, we know that the head of the Executive Branch is NOT America. We carried on, and look at how much better off we are today.
Scouting is at a similar crossroad. The program of developing leaders through skillls and challenge has worked for over 100 years. Forget the quantum of Eagle Scouts - millions of boys have benefitted from that program. And now, an Obama-like rot has set in at National. However, based on the posts I've read, many Scouters seem to prefer the Canadian option. Or just outright surrender - as Ann said, to let them be " raised on “Grand Theft Auto” instead of the Boy Scout oath." These men talk of the good old days, of how proud they are of THEIR experience, but because of the gathering clouds they have chosen the Loyalist strain of cowardice. Maybe we can form a new club they think, with better rules. Well, if the foundation of that new club is "run away at the sight of a challenge," then when the left comes for that new club, it doesn't stand a chance.
I am not proud of what has become of Scouting's Executive leadership, the lawsuits, and the pain and suffering these poor decisions have caused. However, the Scouting program and local Troops are akin to the Tea Party movement, which in some ways gave us today's Deplorables. Don't let the naysayers and surrender monkeys deter you. Carry on, and Be Prepared.
Why did Rex “wrecker” Tillerson want to destroy the Boy Scouts? He was a complete failure as Sec of State - worst Cabinet pick by President Trump. What did Rex gain by this?
There are alternatives to the Scouts, including responsible, caring parents.
But it’s sad to see such a venerable organization dissolved by the acid of leftist perversion.
The BSA did this to themselves when they started accepting large corporate donations. BSA leaders got used to high end pay and perks. When corporations went aggressively liberal the BSA was stuck with a choice; lose the funds or play ball. They chose to play ball.
Homosexuals infiltrated and destroyed the Bot Scouts. They did the same to the Catholic Church. They will do the same to the American military.
Robert Gates to blame for allowing homos and pedos into the BSA. Also was former CIA chief. Makes one wonder.
Homosexuals corrupt everything they are involved in
It isn’t destroyed and it lives on.

Explain this to me: how did the BSA come to be taken over by openly gay leaders or Scout Masters? My scouting experience was that adult Scout leaders were all parents of the Scouts, or were older Scouts who had come up through the troop. There were no non-parent or paid adult leaders at the Troop level. I went to camp (NC Camp Durant) for 5 summers, was a scout between ages 11 and 17, and never heard of a pedo incident in all scouting my years, nor knew of heard of any gay-pedo (openly) leaders. How could an adult gay/pedo be allowed to be a troop’s Scoutmaster? If an individual boy scout was gay (I didn’t know of any), that fact would irrelevant and was not something brought up or even noticed. This makes no sense to me, at all.
