Buy a clue, idiots. No sane parent wants sexual predators around their children.

No kidding. There’s not a hint that they understand why membership is down NINETY FIVE PERCENT!

Wow. How can any organization cling to life after that loss?

Has anybody heard that BSA figured out what went wrong and what they can do to rectify it?

It’s the whole radical woke agenda, not just sexual predators.

If they would just drop their 100 year name and identity and let in girls, new members and donors will flood in.

On my honor
I’ll do my best
To do my duty
To God and my country
And to obey the Scout law
To keep myself
Physically strong
Mentally awake
And morally straight.

I took that oath for the first time 64 years ago..

Maybe after it collapses completely, someone can buy the name and restore the Boy Scouts of America to what it used to be. Minus the pedophilia, of course.

You speak truth. The Mormons do a lot of things right. Their theology is “looney tunes” but I respect what they do right.

Scouting USA only opened up to girls. They need to be more inclusive to increase membership. They need to open to adults, transagers (adults who identify as children and boys versa), furries, transspecies (animals who identify as human and visa versa), minor attracted persons, the incarcerated, persons who identify as objects, addicts, congressmen, drag queens, insects (non-food), interstellar aliens, all 1,649 genders, gang bangers, mukbangers, rappers, sex workers, BDSM enthusiasts, serial killers, vagrants, whoever else not listed.

One of my fave replies is that libs ruin everything they touch. And the Boy Scouts is a prime example of taking something ranking most honorable and dragging it to Clinton/Biden/Dorkbama levels. Hate is the only rational response to such scum. Sorry, but ‘twould appear that dat’z da twuth.

…Part of the discussion involved where and how Scouting can be used to help kids and adults who struggle with mental health or addiction within the community...

They may need help and should get it. But I don’t think they belong in Scouting while they’re getting it. Kids you could make a case for, I suppose. But not adults.

US Supreme Court lets $2.46 billion Boy Scouts sex abuse settlement proceed
Feb 22 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the Boy Scouts of America’s $2.46 billion settlement with sexual abuse victims to move forward, lifting a temporary pause imposed in response to an appeal by 144 former scouts who opposed the agreement.
The order supersedes one issued by Justice Samuel Alito on Feb. 16 that froze the settlement to give the full court more time to consider a Feb. 9 request by abuse claimants who sought to stop the settlement from moving forward while they pursue appeals.

Get rid of the homos, pedos, women, and girls. Make it the Boy Scouts again and see what happens.
