I know a few ardent Christians who are moving ahead with starting their own “Scouting” organizations.
So they won’t be buying uniforms from JC Penney, and their sons (and daughters) won’t make “Eagle” (TM, Registered) Scout, but they will have had the COURAGE to stand for their principles without compromising their values.
Few here doubt BSA “Scouting” will “thrive”, but they don’t seem to be interested in Sexuality in Scouting, or facilitating pedophile scoutmasters.
Go figure.
Most have ignorance of scouting. The current program involves developing a cadre of strong leaders that are skilled in the methods for defending youth against the plague of queers and pedophiles. The Youth Protection Program requires biannual review and certification to be registered leader.
There is a constant attempt by churches, especially the large mega churches, to grow the congregation. It is in their interest to attempt to develop a scouting clone. That is a way to eliminate competition for the minds of those who are now scouts. The fact they are a church group doesn’t mean they will not attract the clever bad guys.
It is my belief that the bad guys responsible for the lawsuits brought by corrupt lawyers against the deep pockets of BSA should be sued into total abject poverty. Their entire assets and all future job possibilities in the USA should be removed and destroyed.
