My church gave up sponsorship of its Scout troop a number of years ago. The policy to admit gay scouts and gay adult supervisors was too much of a potential liability issue which we couldn’t just ignore. This was in light of numerous multi-million dollar lawsuits against the Catholic diocese here for pedohile priests. Virtually 100% of those incidents were homosexual. Also our state has abolished the statute of limitations for bringing such suits, so you could be potentially still be liable for something that happened many years ago your church had no knowledge of. It would only take one of those suits to bankrupt our church and we were not willing to take that kind of a risk with an organization whose morals and standards no longer aligned with ours.
What a sad but prudent turn of events. I think all of us who loved the organization and what it stood for are just horrified at what has been allowed to happen. May God bless the survivors of abuse, and any leaders who find other ways to help young boys become upstanding Christian men.
