The Boy Scouts is (was) a wonderful organization for boys and young men. If you did a poll of successful men in our society (and define success however you wish), you would be astounded by how many were in the Boy Scouts and even moreso how many were Eagle Scouts.

Not surprising that the Boy Scouts are almost dead as an organization. What father in his right mind would let his son go camping in the woods with a know Sodomite scout leader?

The Boy Scouts went terminal when Rex Tillerson and the rest of the woke warriors demanded to let homosexuals be Scout leaders.

Nowadays “success” means getting rich as a grifter.

The Girl Scouts aren’t in a lot better shape - and for the same reason.

The Boy Scouts problem began when it started taking big corporate money to pay for expensive campgrounds, a new HQ building and big salaries for top staff. After that, they were bought and paid for and there was no turning back.

Bush’s deep-state careerist head of CIA and Defense (and Obama’s too), Director of National Intelligence and Council on Foreign Relations member Robert Gates then removed the ban on “Gay Scoutmasters” in 2016. When he left, he was replaced by the CEO of AT&T

It seems almost like a long-term CIA plan to control, disrupt and undermine one of the most well-known and independent civic institutions in America.

The corrupt BSA kakistocracy turned the organization into a leftist perversion.

One of those kakistocrats was former U.S. Secretary of Defense and former CIA director Robert Gates, who supported Obama’s withdrawal of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy that prevented gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military.

Gates should be held in complete and utter contempt.

I'm 70 yo now so I remember when the scouts were pure and righteous teachers. Around the 1970's to the 1980's, there was a noticeable shift in the amount of sodomite lawsuits getting more attention in the news. Some rather large payouts came for the scouts trying to settle claims of bigotry. Of course there was a push back trying to keep sodomites from inside the scouts. NAMBLA was big back then wanting to lower the age of consent and scouts seemed like an easy target for young boys innocence.

The scouts fought valiantly to keep the faggots out but were eventually overwhelmed due to lack of money. Most chapters were financed by church money and private money so they eventually had to allow sodomites to have sleepovers in the woods with known homosexuals due to court rulings. Naturally the sodomites raped the children,.....because that's what pedophiles do. Now the scouts are bankrupt due to payouts from lawsuits coming from sodomites that were allowed into the scouts.

What did people think would happen if pedophiles forced their way into the ranks of the scouts?

Now there are no more Eagle scouts to learn patriotism and responsibility. No more scouts to be raised up in a Godly fashion and know right from wrong. No more cub scouts to learn the outdoors or how to treat a girl. No more boys becoming American patriot men.

The downfall of America is assured now with the batch of unknown pronoun sissies that hates America. Boys unable to go outside their own home at night or even fix their own dinner. I can't imagine what we are sending to boot camp for a drill sergeant to try and train to even save their own life let alone save the world.

Just think about how difficult it would be to start your own "scouts" organization today to raise young men into American citizens. Half of them would be wearing dresses and saving for their operation to remove their own penis. They couldn't feed themselves in the woods and wouldn't be able to kill and skin a squirrel. America is almost over. The writing is already on the wall. When you think of the caliber of men today, a thousand random men my produce 100 real men, but that isn't enough to save what's left of our inheritance. Loosing the scouts over just one or two Generations will be a big part of why America is destined to fail. God cannot allow America to live after He judged Sodom and Gomorrah so long ago.

I see America on a tightrope, blindfolded, with one hand tied behind it's back. shaking the other hand up at God, screaming "What are you going to to about it now!" There is no net.

“...producing as Eagle Scouts prominent Americans including President Gerald Ford, astronaut Neil Armstrong, filmmaker Steven Spielberg, animator William Hanna, businessman Ross Perot, television host Mike Rowe, and many others...”

And Bonemaker.

A magnificent, noble organization. Unfortunately, we are witnessing the attempted destruction of the BSA, Americana as a whole, and the very concept of America. Something has to give folks.

Trail Life USA is a much better choice. Conservative and God based.

Let’s just cut to the chase: The queers and their sycophants in the government, the media, academia, and the entertainment industry KILLED OFF all of the Scouting organizations. Now they’re in the process of killing off all of the college and professional sports organizations.

My son is an Eagle. What I’ve always appreciated about the Boy Scouts is that they build leaders. It is a great way for fathers and sons to bond. I know lots of boys without dads are sent through the scouts by moms who hope that he will be guided through puberty by trustworthy male role models, and I’m certain in most instances that can happen, but I would not trust anyone to do that in these modern times. What liberals have done to the scouts is despicable.

Children have been the prime target for cultural Marxists, who’ve been targeting their propaganda and indoctrination at them, using many venues. The goal? To swing them left, to make them support and eventually vote for socialism (which will become oligarchy).

A parallel goal is dividing us — by dividing families, churches, sexes, races, workers, ages — until we’re in a civil war. Then, their socialism will save us all.

Another big goal is to kill our faith in and respect for God and fathers, to be replaced with faith in government (Big Brother).
