I concur. Let the whole thing die, then maybe there will be some backlash against the left, who will have destroyed yet another proud institution.
There won't be a backlash, because fewer boys each year seemed to be joining the Scouts. The troops tend to lose most of their boys once they get into later years of Junior High, and definitely in high school. Many parents push sports, and there is usually not enough time for the kids to do both.
Maybe the Boy Scouts just need to dial back the national activities, so the local Councils can do fundraising locally. And if there are some generous national sponsors, all the better.
