I would think that stupidity and self-destructiveness would take less time than that to work.

Good point. In addition to being stupid and self-destructive, they are also very slow. They will change with the times, or they will wither on the vine.

It's the speed of the effect of external forces that we're talking about here, not the BSA's own speed.

The BSA has often had to change how they teach the values they teach. Boys don't have to learn Morse Code or semaphore, or how to stitch up the side of a cow or how to handle a runaway horse to earn First Class any more. And Patrol Leaders can now learn about how to lead a patrol from a BSA web site. But the values of citizenship, character, and fitness that the BSA teaches are as valid now as they were in 1910, and they're not likely to have to change those in response to these times or any others.

Still looking to see examples from you about the deficiencies you've attributed to the BSA.

Why should the Scouts change their very basic tenets just to "get along" with athiests? Makes no sense at all.I doubt the Scouts will ever make any such changes and if you wait around to see such changes, you will never see them happen. But go ahead and wait.

It's exactly the opposite which will happen, Jimer. You'll be quite surprised.
