The Scouts should have been prepared for this.
One week after the century-old Boy Scouts of America announced it was changing its name and its mission to accept girls at all levels of scouting, its single biggest participant announced Tuesday that it was cutting ties to the Scouts.
And taking one-fifth of the Scouts membership with it.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, usually known as the Mormons, announced Tuesday that it was severing its relationship with the Scouts effective Dec. 31, 2019, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.
In a statement issued jointly by the church and the Scouts, the church explained the move by noting that its membership was more global now than ever, and required a global approach.
“In this century of shared experience, the church has grown from a U.S.-centered institution to a worldwide organization, with a majority of its membership living outside the United States,” the joint statement said.
“That trend is accelerating. The church has increasingly felt the need to create and implement a uniform youth leadership and development program that serves its members globally. In so doing it will be necessary for the church to discontinue its role as a chartered partner with BSA.”

Stupid question but is the girls guides planning to accept boys?
It’s just another sucker gut-punch for men in America.
They are, part of the announcement stated they will build up their own program.

Usually that comes down to money. The Mormon Church sounds like they might be standing up a new organization. Incorporation and other legal matters would seem necessary.
Once the Scouts allowed to that happen, that will not be undone.
Get Woke, Go Broke.

The Scouts’ leadership screwed up royally. They kept appeasing, step by step, until nothing.
The irony that the Scouts appeased on homosexuality to keep the Mormons and are now losing the Mormons after going TOO far is painful.
Liberals’ unfair standards are across the board.
That men’s clubs and boys’ groups are to be infiltrated and made co-ed. That it is by definition oppression of women are excluded. But that women can exclude men, because masculinity is by liberal definition toxic and women are so much better than men.
All is working according to their plan to destroy them.
