Heritage has announced that it will auction off a collection of iconic paintings and illustrations belonging to the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). The collection has been valued at $59 million, with the proceeds going towards compensating survivors of childhood sexual abuse within the Scouts, marking a low point in the BSA’s history.

I’m convinced that the BSA could have weathered this storm if corporate leaders had stood firm and not capitulated to the sodomites 12 years ago.
I remember the Boy Scouts, they used to be somebody.
The BSA was a wonderful part of my life. There were older jerks in my troop, but they, much later, apologized.
I learned a lot, there.
I see the tech industry alliance with soft porn and soft pedophile influencers like these trans make up artists women seem to adore while they invade bathrooms...
Shaking my head if the boyscouts tried to attract that. This bodes very ill for future quality military recruiting. Vanity and aesthetic corporations like LVMH or JnJ contact lens accuvue think they rule because they got women to pimp their man into accepting this kind of “glamour”.
Utter garbage of neediness.

Let’s take a moment to remember Robert Gates, Bush’s Defense Secretary, who not only allowed open homosexuality in the US military, but also helped destroy the Boy Scouts

RINO-Marxist f******
The Norman Rockwell pix at the link tell you all you need to know about an America betrayed and long gone.
What years were you in?
Go woke, go broke!
Also, wasn’t Rex Tillerson, Trump’s Secretary of State, a big shot in Boy Scouts?
The Scouts were a wholesome organization (with some subterranean problems).
Still, they were wholesome enough that the left determined they must be destroyed. So, the left with the help of corporate stooges destroyed Scouting.
The perfect “go woke, go broke” poster child.
Yes, Gates is highly to blame, but must share it with the mega-corp CEO’s that were made board members. Can’t remember his name, but the CEO of AT&T was a massive influence in sodomizing the scouts. They would hold up much needed funding otherwise.
1970s - 1980s.
I agree. They caved. Guys like Rex Tillerson, Robert Gates, and others of that corporate culture bunch did their damage.
I was walking into the grocery store the other day and a pack of Cub Scouts were selling popcorn for a fund raiser. 7 perky girls, and two boys.
It’s ruined... might as well sell off the assets.
When I was young, I belonged to the Indian Guides, a father-son organization sponsored by the Young Men's Christian Association. Boys who joined the Indian Guides learned that America's Indian heritage extended far beyond how it was portrayed in shoot-'em-up Westerns, collected toys for needy Indian children and strengthened their relationships with God as well as with their fathers and friends. However, this program was dubbed "racist" and disbanded, with nothing to replace it.
Now the wokesters have destroyed the Boy Scouts, another group that I belonged to.
Look at the dates, the Mormons and many more went to war against the Boy Scouts.

“According to an article in the San Francisco Examiner, Saturday, May 30, 1992, Wells Fargo and the Bank of America, two of he largest banks in the United States, have cut off future funding to the Boy Scouts of America.

SAN DIEGO — The San Diego school board, objecting to the anti-gay policy of the Boy Scouts of America, voted unanimously Tuesday to oust the Scouts from running school-day programs in the eighth-largest district in the nation.
Jan. 11, 1993
San Diego Police Chief Bob Burgreen, a former Scouting board member, cut the 25-year-old ties between his department and the Scouts, likening the anti-gay policy to the old Jim Crow policies of the South.

LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday moved to end its relationship with the Boy Scouts of America because the organization discriminates based on homosexuality.
Read about what he did to the BSA in Tillerson's Assault on Scouting.
I have fond memories of the Indian Guides when I was in it in the 1950s. Remember helping to make a Totem pole.
