The Boy Scouts of America are continuing to cover-up a “pedophilia epidemic within their organization,” a group of lawyers alleged Tuesday in a new lawsuit.

The Abused in Scouting lawyers said they’ve identified 350 previously unknown scoutmasters and volunteers who allegedly preyed on boys — and whose names were not known to law enforcement or in the BSA’s internal database, which critics have called “perversion files.”

“You can’t look at these files and not come to the conclusion that this was a massive problem that was hidden,” attorney Tim Kosnoff said at a press conference.

“We know that when a pedophile abuses a victim, it's not just one,” added attorney Stewart Eisenberg. “So each of the 350 abusers have dozens of other victims who have not come forward.”

Bite me. If one dares point this out here in Northern Virginia, you get shunned as some sort of homophobic bigot.

Being minimally observant is somehow bigoted.

So that’s what those merit badges for the Three F’s were for. Fellatio, fisting and felching.

And the BSA wonders why its membership is falling.

I’d be curious to see how many heterosexual volunteers they get. It’s probably not a lot - what normal man would choose to associate with teenage boys? They should try to get the fathers of the scouts more involved.

The offenders aren’t pedophiles, they’re pederasts.

All the scout leaders I know are dads with their sons or dads whose sons aged out of scouting but still volunteer. Just saying.

I was in two scout troops as a kid, and there wasn’t even a hint of that back then.

Damn BSA. Dead. And that is what the Left wanted anyway.

It’s alright, the problem’s been solved. They’ve added girl troops as well as invited gay people to join as both scouts and leaders.
