Thank goodness for the moms that pitch in and become scout leaders when the men wont...show those boys how to be men!

I disagree. My son’s troop is anything but a bunch of ‘pantywaists’. What’s this person talking about?

Things have certainly changed since I was a kid. When I was in Cub Scouts, we always had a den mother. But in the Boy Scouts, our scout leaders were always men, not the pussy wussy ballet slippers and tights kind, but the manly hiking-booted outdoors frontiersmen kind who showed us leadership and taught us to enjoy mother nature.

We did gratuitously perform charity work and help old lady’s across the street and all that. Since there were no computers to play, we had more time and it made us feel to use our time to serve our community. But camping out was the best part of scouting for me.

Most of our troups were sponsored by area churches so they expected our leaders and us to be morally straight. Sexual conduct was not an issue and most of us were somewhat naive by today’s standards. That is until we heard the Girl Scout troups were camped downstream. Then we remembered a scout is always friendly.

Oops, make that:”made us feel good to use our time to serve our community”.

Garden club?

Or pederasty club?

"...Membership has been steadily declining for decades, and recent decisions to go full Episcopalian homosexual..."

There. Fixed it.

The boy scouts have a large number of professional bureaucrats who get very large sums of money for their meager efforts. I noticed this in the late sixties.

If I had a son now I would go with Trailife it seems to be a good outfit.

The left believes in “choice”. How about they set up a Gay Scouts organization with all-gay leadership, and let people choose between that and a scouting organization without gay leaders?

Yup. Their main goal is keeping their lucrative jobs.

A moral man can not be threatened over money. A person interested in their own material well being will always choose their wallet over convictions. Always.

Scouting is still strong in rural areas, where it’s still mostly church oriented. You won’t find any fags infesting the organization there. My nephew just made Eagle Scout a couple of months ago, and it’s still a meaningful achievement. Suspect not so much in more leftist areas.

How can males wear those tight, faggoty “skinny jeans”? No nuts or what?
