Conservative Boy Scout Alternatives

The Civil Air Patrol’s cadet program is an excellent adolescent leadership program.
There are a number of church based scouting groups. Of course, in today’s world, fathers need to be involved, you can’t just trust anyone with access to your kid. And anyway, thats a big part of the point of it all, is father-son time.

It’s called a FAMILY, with a father, a mother and their naturally occurring offspring. The way it was up until the 20th Century. We can live without a “boys” organization again.
The BSA National Office is a disaster. National is where all the stupid and destructive policies and decisions are made, and housed.
However, in practice the real management of the Troop is with...the Troop. Furthermore, Councils wield more power than National and in general Councils provide resources and advancement help without a heavy hand.
As I said, it is at the Troop adult/leadership level where the general tone is set. Despite what the MSM want you to believe (because they really, really like the BSA), the century+ tradition and time-tested skills/spirit/education combo that developed the character of tomorrow's men remains alive and well with thousands of individuals who haven't bowed to the enemies of civilization. And if you find a Troop that isn't in synch with you, find another one - you aren't shackled to your town's Troop. Or start your own...you know...innovation and self-starting initiative.
And BE INVOLVED...even if you choose an alternative to BSA, nobody has your child's best interest at heart as much as you do. Become an Assistant Scoutmaster, go on trips, maybe even learn a few things.
I get the desire to dump the BSA. I also understand how society wants conservatives to abandon tradition. Do what is best for your kids - be it BSA or something else. But don't let CNN or some dude who knew a guy who knew a guy who said Boy Scouts sucks, think for you.
I’m heavily involved with Trail Life USA. FReepmail me if you want specific details.
Troops of Saint George.
As a leader of 20+ years in BSA, I am so happy that my sons went through the program many years ago. The program was wonderful back then. BSA has been sued out instead of sold out. It is merely a shadow of its former self.
Last I heard they were sued to allow girls into their program, only to have Girl Scouts of America sue them for allowing girls into their program. They cannot win for losing.
It is imploding, but only because of the forced compliance with the many lawsuits. The liberals want to destroy anything and everything that creates strong men.
The U.S military is another fine example of the evisceration of anything male.
Just heard a law firm add about a multi-billion dollar lawsuit over sexual predator scoutmasters. It is the same that is happening to the Catholic Church. The left destroyed both American institutions with the obvious help of deranged perverts who preyed on the innocent.

There is the Troops of St. George, created by Dr. Taylor Marshall:
“The Troops of Saint George apostolate aims to use the outdoors as our canvas and the sacraments as our path to light the way for the formation of Holy Catholic men and boys. Whether called to the vocation of the priesthood, the religious life, or that of Holy fatherhood, our fathers and sons will take a prayerful pilgrimage together to fulfill Christ’s desire for them to grow in virtue and in their Holy Catholic faith as they journey toward heaven.”
