You are right. Sigh. The Gaystapo has been on the attack for so long, I had forgotten the details of the ruling that the Scouts may choose their own rules for leadership positions. Destroying the organization from within. Do you know what the enrollment figures are of the BSA since they decided to go all “gay”?
I am wondering, since I was at the last den meeting for the year with our young CubScout last night.
When I hear they keep making changes in how Cubs will operate, including “don’t have to do anything if older than Tiger level to join the associated level”, I wonder if they are trying to make it more attractive to people to make up for lost members.
I still bet there is little lost, but maybe there is enough to drive the younger Cubs to roll over on some requirements.
Membership has been declining for several years. I think part of that is the less attractive aspect of Boy Scouting as being “low tech,” outdoors-oriented in an age of air-conditioned indoor technology. Also, it has become politically incorrect to refer to Indian - oops, I mean Native American - culture in any regard, and that is a consistent theme throughout Scouting. (Indian Lore merit badge, Order of the Arrow, etc.)
This latest change has not reversed this decline. In fact, it has accelerated it.
