Pish-tosh! The values of General Lord Baden-Powell result in men who defend a free society for nincompoops like this writer. (In fact, I hope my Boy Scouts would have good enough manners not to call her a nincompoop :-).
Scouting is a good program and will benefit anyone who participates. Fresh air and good hard work never hurt anyone, I know, because I was a Scout. Lessons learned stay with a person their whole life, and being able to draw upon them when necessary is invaluable.
At issue, the view in question is of the scouts as fascist, essentially. In any event, if a group can't define itself, then there is no freedom of association, that's what's at issue here. It's really silly, but there's no arguing with certain folks. So, after being kicked out of any location however remotely or tangentially connected with federal tax dollars, look for nuisance suits, etc. Rinse, lather, repeat. Ergo, Scouting goes "bye-bye", even though technically legal. Fun bunch, huh?
