It wasn't the Baptists who left the Scouts ... it was the Scouts who left Christian standards of morals, ethics and decency!
” the homosexuals have literally destroyed a great American icon. “
The BSA committed suicide. It will be insolvent inside a year.
And that’s what they want. They don’t want “recognition” or “acceptance.” They want to destroy traditional American, Christian institutions. They are ruled by hate.
Good for the Southern Baptists. There are other groups like AWANA or Brigades which fulfill the same purpose and won’t morally compromise.
Baptist’s have a competing organization in place and they should move to expand AWANA STAT.
Awana—Started in Chicago in 1950, this coed, non-denominational, Christian evangelical ministry has as its goal a “global effort to ensure the opportunity for children and youth to be evangelized and discipled in Christ.” It claims Awana groups in 12 000 US churches and 8000 churches in 110 other countries. Awana is an acronym from the first letters of each word in 2 Timothy 2:15, “Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed”. Program levels include Puggles (ages 2-3), Cubbies (preschool), Sparks (grades K-2), Truth & Training (T&T, grades 3-6), Trek (middle school), Journey (high school
Unfortunate in one regard. But this is an opportunity to rebuild the organization after it completely collapses, so it could be a blessing in disguise.
They've had leftist board members and officials for a while. This purge may be the healthiest thing to happen in the American Boy Scout's history.

How can any Church or religion be a part of subjecting children to the perversion of homosexuality?
Good for them.
Baptists don’t have ‘Mass’..........
With congregational autonomy so fundamental to Baptists, it’s hard to imagine them doing anything “en masse.”
FYI ping to you.
What would happen if the Southern Baptists and many other sponsoring organizations merely passed resolutions stating their troops refused to comply with the pro-gay BSA resolution.
The Catholic Church should not precipitously sever connection with the Boy Scouts but should be expeditiously building a Catholic Scouts or becoming part of a larger Christian Scouts organization. If that great organization has decided to cut its own throat there is no reason Catholic, at least, boys have to get the blood on their own uniforms.
It’s shameful that the BSA caved. It would have been a far better outcome that they demonstrated their conviction to their principles (as they teach their young men) rather than follow the money.
RE: Southern Baptists Plan to Leave Boy Scouts ‘En Masse.’
What about the other denominations? (OK, Episcopalians and PC USA exempted since they were way ahead of the BSA ).
Look for this to change now that the BSA has taken the position that homosexuality is morally straight.
All gay Troops will start to pop up in cities like San Francisco and elsewhere. Count on it.
