Goodbye, Boy Scouts. You fools. You invertebrates. You caved once again and will now allow “transgender boys” — also known as girls — to enter your ranks. I guess you forgot that the girls already have their own branch of the Scouts. It’s called the Girl Scouts. You know, the one with the cookies. Will the Boy Scouts start selling cookies now, too? That would be one upside to all of this, at least.
Your chief executive declared yesterday that it’s “not sufficient” to use a birth certificate as reference point to determine a person’s gender. I’m certain that he doesn’t actually believe that. Most of the people who’ve submitted to the “transgender” superstition don’t actually believe it. They know full well that a girl is a girl and a boy is a boy. That’s the obvious truth. But in these irrational days, it takes a bit of fortitude to stand by the truth, especially the most obvious truths. Unfortunately, fortitude is precisely what you lack. And by “you,” I mean the leadership who made this decision. The actual scouts themselves are just another set of victims here. But not for much longer, because Christian families are pulling out. We’re done with you. For good.
We tried to tell you this would happen. Once you start compromising with the Culture of Death, it never ends. You can’t just sell a piece of your soul to the Devil and expect him to leave you alone. No, he wants to eat the whole thing. He’s always hungry, never satiated.
So, you surrendered to the LGBT lobby a few years ago and allowed in openly gay Scouts, even though the Supreme Court had already upheld your right to exclude them. You thought the forces of darkness would be satisfied with that, but they weren’t. Like we warned you. Then you surrendered and welcomed openly gay scoutmasters into the fold, enabling homosexual men to accompany young boys on overnight camping trips and all the rest of it. You thought they’d finally leave you alone then — I mean, what else could they possibly want? — but you were mistaken.
You’d made every concession demanded by the LGB, now it was the T’s turn. They didn’t have to fight too hard. You were already on your knees, groveling and whimpering. You’d already decided to abandon the “keep myself morally straight” part of the Scout oath. Why not dispense with the rest of it? Why not utterly dismantle everything that has defined you for over a century? Why not defeat the entire purpose of your organization for the sake of an infinitesimal fraction of the population? The point of the Boy Scouts is to teach boys how to be men. Why not alter that formula so that you can also teach girls how to be men? Well, I can think of a few reasons why you shouldn’t: logic, sanity, decency, reality, morality, etc. But you’d punted those particular footballs a while ago. So here we are.
You’re finished now. You know that, right? It’s primarily Christian parents who send their kids into the Scouts. Well, that’s over. My two sons will never be Scouts. Ever. And I guarantee that my feelings reflect the sentiment of most conservative Christian families, which is (or was) your lifeblood. Good luck trying to survive with only radical leftists donating their money and enrolling their kids. How many leftist scouting enthusiasts do you think exist in the country? Leftists don’t go camping unless it’s a jam band festival. You better starting singing Phish tunes around the campfire or you don’t stand a chance.
Wait, did you think that leftists were trying to fundamentally reshape and restructure the whole point and purpose of the Boy Scouts because they actually care about your organization? Oh, goodness. You silly, silly fools. The gay lobby and its disciples aren’t going to repay your capitulation by supporting you. This was simply about power and control. As far as they’re concerned, you’re still a bunch of backward, trail-hiking, Bible-thumping nerds. That doesn’t change just because you crawled into the fetal position. It only gets worse from here, actually.
Oh, you didn’t think they were done making demands, did you? No, I told you it never ends. Give a mouse a cookie and eventually he’ll want to rip your beating heart out of your chest. Haven’t you ever read that book? I’m paraphrasing slightly. The point is, all you’ve done is allow “transgenders” and homosexuals into the Scouts. Next, you’re going to have to loudly, regularly, and enthusiastically affirm left wing sexual doctrines. You’re going to have to gather the kids around the campfire and talk to them about the fluidity of gender and the evils of white privilege. You’re going to have to start handing out merit badges for cross dressing and sexual experimentation. You think I’m joking? Have you not been paying attention at all?
It’s like the book “Silence.” The priest renounces his faith and thinks the Japanese authorities will let him be. But, no, they come back and make him renounce it over and over again until he dies in disgrace. Of course, he did all of this under threat of torture and death. You did it under threat of angry blog posts. Tomato tomahto, I suppose.
So, if I haven’t been clear, here’s how this works: You give the leftist bullies every last thing they want, and in return you get nothing. Whatever you already had, you lose. Those who supported you while you were being attacked, no longer support you. The people who hated you still hate you and the people who loved you now resent you for betraying them. You are now officially in a lose/lose/lose/lose-unto-infinity scenario.
That’s what you get for being “inclusive.” That’s what you get for not standing your ground. That’s what you get for meeting the demands of the pitchfork mob. That’s what you get for negotiating with moral anarchists. But hey, at least the media will write a few nice articles about you. That is until they come up with the next reason to push you around. At which point the whole process will repeat itself again. Good luck with that, fellas. Whoops, I mean, well whatever we’re supposed to call you these days.
Meanwhile, we Christian families will be sending our boys to Trail Life USA. Same sort of organization, minus the cowardice and confusion. That’s what a win/win looks like.
Boy Scout leadership is completely out of touch.
I guess they can take that “Morally straight” out of the boy scout oath now, too! (spit)
WHY oh WHY are we allowing our country to be taken over by sexual deviants and mentally ill????
Is there no one (with a microphone) strong enough to say “NO! ENOUGH of this crap!”??????
(Well, I can dream, can’t I? ;-)
BSA is over as far as being like it was for me in the late 50s/early 60s.
On the subject of the Boy Scouts, here is the letter I did related to the Oregon policy on transgender. The important part here is the links.

Subject: Oregon Transgender Policy
The Oregon Department of Education presented their policy interpretation allowing men to enter women’s bathrooms and lockers rooms based on current gender feelings. This asymmetrical approach results in a random walk through reflective life. When comforting lights of popular expressions drive decisions, no opportunity remains to consider insights such that as from John Hopkins.
At one time their Sexual Behaviors Consultation Unit conducted candidates through a lengthy preparation process culminating with gender reassignment surgery. Study caused them to question whether any emotional resolution was achieved and they eliminated the practice in 1979. Dr. Paul R. McHugh says, “that transgenderism is a mental disorder that merits treatment….These policy makers and the media are doing no favors either to the public or the transgendered by treating their confusions as a right in need of defending rather than as a mental disorder that deserves understanding, treatment and prevention.”
Shouldn’t transgenderism first be assessed as a medical issue? Women are terribly uncomfortable with a mercurial revelation that they believe violates their inherent natural right to feel safe and private in their persons. This policy provides many the opportunities to indulge in deviant impulses. The policy thrusts a few into intimate political theater where they portray a feeble caricature of a woman, but without evidence of benefit to their psychological condition. Considering John Hopkins’ experience with reassignment surgery, shouldn’t this radical transformation of society await careful review?

I don’t blame the BSA for this.
When entire states in the Union start declaring that, ‘A person is the sex they think they are”, BSA organization within that state cannot defend against lawsuits for not allowing 8 year girls who “Identify” as boys.
This is a society problem. An truth problem and an irrational fear of telling someone their bat shat crazy problem.
the BSA is not leading the way in accepting this trans BS, they are just trying to survive the gauntlet of inevitable lawsuits being thrust at them because of the break down of common sense, the advent of 200+ sexual identities etc.
When the BSA was founded there were 2 sexes and everyone knew which they were. That is not the world they are trying to exist in now.
How is this their fault? For not going bankrupt and fighting a battle that is not theirs? The Scouting program is not about sex. It’s not about sexuality and it’s not about “Trans-ANYTHING”, it’s about developing life skills and becoming a productive member of society. Sex and sexuality is for home teaching.
It’s not their fight.
I was a Scout, my son was a Scout, I supported Scouting until they surrendered to the homosexual lobby.
They were already done before this as far as being morally straight, this just puts them into the fantasy land of confusion.
Penis = male
vagina = female
Two sexes, gender refers to language. Simple biology.
If you cannot accept what you see in your underwear, the rest of society does not have to accommodate your mental illness.
in the 50’s 60’s and 70’s the scout leaders were WWII and Korea Vets....now it’s a lot of women.
I hardly recognize the scouts anymore.
Back in the 70’s and 80’s we had girl boy scouts. They weren’t really boy scouts but they did the same things we did. These were the girls that were too tough (tom boys) for girl scouts and I think all of them had a brother or father involved with the boy scouts. There weren’t many though. They also did not wear the boy scout uniforms or earn badges or participate in ceremonies. And they identified as girls.
They’re not transgendered. They’re transvestites. I guess that word has been removed from the dictionary. Even FreeRepublic doesn’t have it in the spell correct feature.
Any organization that isn’t explicitly Christian, will eventually become anti-Christian.
Fantastic article! To appease Liberals is to surrender to them. The Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts should merge. They are now both Leftwing organizations that are meant for Liberal parents to instill Liberal sexuality into their children.
I pulled my boys out as soon as they caved to the homosexuals. I sent them an email letting them know why and never got a reply. The left destroys all good things.
The corpse of BSA will still twitch a bit, especially in the sticks where everybody knows everybody and “different” kids still have accidents falling on other kids fists. But it’s still a corpse.
Troll be gone.
