Liberals touched a formerly top notch organization.
And, true to form, they took a bodacious Obama on it.
It now smells to high heaven, is covered with flies, and is properly being carried to the dust bin.
I have to say, at the Pack/Troop/Ship level none of this stuff ever mattered. Ever. It’s always been about opening the world up to kids.
Some bank robber somewhere was asked why he robbed banks. He replied ‘That’s where the money is.’
The Boy Scouts is a bank for pedophiles. I was a scout in the 70’s, and back then the controls on it were extremely lax. It’s getting taken down today because people who were kids then are suing now.
Full stop.
There may be sex going on between single adult leaders (and married ones at that), but sex and scouting aren’t happening. Scout Oath, Scout Law, and trying to give kids an opportunity to take some limited risks and fail gracefully.
It’s a good organization, better for its struggles and one of the safest in the world right now for kids as a result.
But hey, you can always go to the better national org for kids. You know, the perfect one, where nobody gets hurt, has all the money they need, great program, and motivated adults that have only the kids interests at heart.
You could, but there isn’t one.
