A once-great American institution is no more. Was definitively gone when they allowed gay scoutmasters.

Maybe more boys will join Trail Life. Eventually boy scouts will just be “scouts”.

Thank you for posting!!

"Simply, this is just another indication of the power of both money and political correctness."

Perhaps we should restate: "Simply, this is just another indication of the power of both money and the power of the Progressive ideology, when combined with money and the tool of both money and censorship of competing ideas (otherwise known as "political correctness").

The left is well on the way to their final goal with the scouts.

1. Identify a respected institution.

2. Kill it. <-————— Step 2 complete. The “boy” scouts are no more.

3. Gut it. <-————— Step 3 in progress.

4. Wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect. <-———— Step 4 happens with the boy scouts run around promoting progressive causes much as the girl scouts do today.

Prepare for harassment suits and, quite possibly, paternity suits. Then the scouts will require one female adult to join the boys (and girls) and then the real fun begins...

Now there are two GSA organizations.

Trail Life USA

There are several alternatives now. This is the one with which I am familiar.It is very good. My KofC council's troop and pack switched over seamlessly when it became absurd that a religious organization could no support BSA any longer. The members directly in charge of the scouts received a brochure and made some long phone calls and got a whole list of particulars and we switched. It has been very satisfactory. It does, however, induce an inappropriate feeling of smugness. We're working on that.

It was Rex Tillerson who lobbied to end the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy of the BSA. According to a Dallas News story:

Tillerson was instrumental in lobbying the Scouts’ board to accept openly gay youths, said John Hammer, president of the Washington think tank Center for Strategic and International Studies, of which Tillerson is a board member.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

From the Washington Times:

“Mr. Tillerson served as president of the Boy Scouts from 2010 to 2012. In 2013, the scouting organization voted to extend membership to openly gay youths. Mr. Tillerson was “instrumental” in lobbying the board to make that change, the Dallas Morning News reported in 2014.

Two years after allowing openly gay members, the Boy Scouts lifted the ban on openly gay leaders and employees. Individual units can still consider religious criteria, including sexuality, in choosing troop leaders. Mr. Tillerson still sits on the Boy Scouts’ national executive board.

GSA includes tranny guys as girls. The BSA is on a different track. Imagine all the merit badges to be earned in the category of intergender activity as we prepare our children for adulthood.

And with all the gin joints in the world, how did Trump settle on Tillerson for SOS? More stellar advice from JIVANKA?!@#$

Thanks for posting this or I would have had to do more work researching my memory of this Globalist shill Tillerson.

I don't think the homo Scout Masters will appreciate the competition for the boys favors.

AT LEAST that is normal. I would rather a girl visit your tent than a boy or worse, a transitioning girl. Just My HUMBLE opinion.

This isn’t political correctness. It’s a desperate move in response to a long term decline in BSA membership.

The continuing neutering of boys. It does not end well.
