I remember when big city police departments like San Diego and corporations like Bank of America cut ties with the Boy Scouts because they wouldn’t give in to the gay agenda.

1992
“San Diego Police Chief Bob Burgreen severed the department’s ties to the Boy Scouts of America on Tuesday because the organization discriminates against homosexuals.”

As early as 1992, long-time corporate sponsors, including Levi
Strauss & Co., Wells Fargo & Co., and BankAmerica Corporation,
began revoking their contributions in protest of the B.S.A.’s anti-gay
policy.295 More recently, Chase Manhattan Bank and Textron Inc. withdrew hundreds of thousands of dollars that used to support the
B.S.A. on both the local and national levels.296 The Rhode Islandbased CVS pharmacy chain decided to stop donating to an annual
B.S.A. dinner because of the conflict between its company-wide nondiscrimination policy and the B.S.A.’s anti-gay stance.297 Merrill
Lynch is also questioning its support of the B.S.A.298
Local United Way chapters across the country, the B.S.A.’s largest
contributor,299 are also questioning their support.300 As of fall 2000,
ten United Way chapters have adopted anti-discrimination policies,
requiring local B.S.A. chapters not to discriminate on the basis of
sexual orientation in return for continued funding.301 Several United Way chapters have withdrawn funding altogether because of the antigay policy,302 while still other chapters have amended their
procedures to allow individual donors to prevent any of their
donations to the United Way from going to the B.S.A.303 Yet, the
majority of United Way chapters continue to support the B.S.A., even though a letter condemning the B.S.A.’s anti-gay policy
accompanies many of their contributions.305
In Connecticut, the state’s Commission on Human Rights and
Opportunities removed the B.S.A. from the list of charities to which
state employees may contribute directly from their paychecks because
of the group’s anti-gay policy.306 Removing the B.S.A. from this list
will cost the organization an estimated $25,000 annually.307
In
response, the B.S.A. filed suit against Connecticut’s comptroller and
the Connecticut State Employee Campaign Committee, ironically
claiming that their removal from the charity list is discriminatory,
violating not only Connecticut’s laws on discrimination but also the
United States Constitution.308
In 1998, Chicago became the first municipality to “formally end[]
all support for scouting programs as long as the [B.S.A.] continue[s]
to discriminate on the basis of religious belief and sexual
orientation.”
309 Since then, several municipalities, most notably the city of Los Angeles, have followed Chicago’s lead.310 Along similar
lines, the American Civil Liberties Union (“A.C.L.U.”) filed suit in
San Diego “to oust the local Boy Scouts from public property.”
311
The B.S.A. is also losing support from public schools across the
country because of its anti-gay policy. Although approximately
twenty-percent of youth B.S.A. members belong to units chartered by
educational organizations,312 that number is shrinking as many of the
nation’s school districts are either limiting B.S.A. access to their
schools or preventing access altogether.313

I earned my Eagle Scout rank on April 12, 1972. I was 15 at the time. San Diego County. The gays had been attacking the scout facilities in Balboa Park and Fiesta Island. The scouts shouldered the costs of maintenance of both locations and the Balboa Park facilities were open for general public use. That wasn't enough for the gays. They wanted open access to membership in the troops as well as adult advisors. The fight went national and the national leadership bent over for the gays. That was the beginning of the end for the organization.

My son joined the scouts and rapidly advanced. He earned First Class before the first court of honor was convened after he joined. The scoutmaster said he should "slow down". Wrong thing to say. He hit the brakes and left. All of that energy was redirected to graduation with a 4.33 GPA.

After I moved to Idaho, the LDS church was a principal sponsor for local scout troops. I supported the local activity and even showed up in my uniform with Eagle Scout medal and the full sash of badges for a special event. I can still fit in the uniform today, but it is a bit baggy on me at age 69. That won't be happening again because the LDS church dropped the scouting program after it went so far off the rails.
