Boy Scouts to admit girls into Cub Scouts, establish new program
Fox News ^ | 10/11/17

Posted on 10/11/2017 10:22:11 AM PDT by markomalley

In a historic change, the Boy Scouts are announcing plans to admit girls into the Cub Scouts starting next year and to establish a new program for older girls using the same curriculum as the Boy Scouts.

Under the plan announced Wednesday, Cub Scout dens — the smallest unit — will be single-gender, either all-boys or all-girls. The larger Cub Scout packs will have the option to welcome both genders if they choose.

I was watching a movie last night when the BBC America kept running a promo for "Coming Out Day" or some such nonsense.

Satan is very busy of late. Obama doing the gay rainbow to the White House seems to have given them more confidence to pervert things.

Isaiah 3:9 New International Version (NIV)

9 The look on their faces testifies against them;
they parade their sin like Sodom;
they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
They have brought disaster upon themselves.

“You are ignorant and are making a huge mistake.

Scouts is the best program for boys that exists.”


I’m an eagle scout. I pulled both my boys out of cubs after seeing how the “new” system was being run.

It’s nothing like it once was.

You like to throw insults around, but can you make a coherent comment or discussion. What is good or bad about girls joining boy scouts? No girls but homosexuals okay? And transgender? Maybe girls will get more out of boy scouts than they can out of girl scouts? Maybe these organizations are simply outdated, obsolete? How about participating in a discussion instead of trashing it?

“Frankly this is not surprising in the wake of the Boy Scouts admitting sodomites.”

Rex Tillerson, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to be secretary of state pick, pushed to allow gays in scouting

The 7-year Tribulation (last 3.5 years Great Tribulation) must run first, FRiend. It will not be getting better during that period.

It will present a binary choice to the world. There will be no fence-sitting; as much of the world does now.

When are the Girl Scouts going to start admitting boys? The whole freakin’ world has gone bananas.

This is insanity. I miss the U.S. I grew up in. :-(

They just cannot permit a single place where boys can be boys. Any like a convoy having to go the pace of the slowest ship, the Cub Scouts will have to adjust every single thing to the girls needs.

Glad I grew up in old America.

I thought the Boy Scouts closed. I haven’t seen a boy scout in 5 years. ...

The are a mere shadow of their former selves, but the organization is still hanging on here and there.

At this point letting girls into the Cub Scouts is just a way to get a few more members.

The little girls will be safe until lesbians are allowed to be scout masters.

tired of the gross ignorance on Free Republic concerning BSA.

I sort of agree. I was taking my daughter to Philmont with her explorer crew about 4 years ago just after all the controversy started. We had an experience that she will remember with her dad for a lifetime. The new "rules" never really came up. We followed the guidelines of youth protection and all the adults knew each other so no problem. I think that like good families, scouts are best run locally and the locals can manage the situations and keep scouting positive.

It is both shameful and embarrassing that at a national level it has become political and that members Christian values have been challenged, but locally it can still be inspirational to youth, whether boys or girls.

My daughter was a very outdoors type, not a tom boy but no girly girl either. She could outshoot anyone in camp in rifle, shotgun, and archery, and pack a pack and do an overnight hike as good as any boy. I taught her that way and she loves it. I am glad that BSA provided at least some opportunity for her as the Girl Scout programs have been garbage for decades.

Stupid move. But not as dumb as their pro-homosexual moves. Sad.

The previous verse (8) reveals that Isaiah 3:9 is referring to 1st century Jerusalem. History is repeating itself. Tel Aviv is the called the “Gay Capital of the World”.

What happens when a BOY outsells all the girls selling cookies?

....
Yeah, they probably would have a fit if that happened. But, if they do start mixing in the boys, that is bound to happen. Then again, what kind of boy would want to join the GS? Probably not much positive aggressiveness in such a one.

Absolutely, FRiend. Hence my current tagline.
