Two nights ago with Tucker Carlson, I discussed the decision of the Boy Scouts of America to drop the "Boy" bit. The ruination of a great civilizing institution has been accomplished in a mere two decades. As I wrote three years ago:
In the late Nineties, the BSA said no to gay scoutmasters. I was on the floor of the Democratic Convention in Los Angeles in 2000 when they had some Eagle scouts as an honor guard - and in my section of the crowd everyone booed. And I remember thinking, "Man, these Dems are nuts. Booing boy scouts?"
But the booers won. Over the next decade, gay-friendly churches (Episcopalian, Congregational, and the other post-Christian ones) booted the scouts from church halls where they'd met for decades; Disney cut them off the list of approved charities to which their employees were permitted to donate their "Ears To You" fundraising proceeds; other corporate benefactors from the US soccer league to Lockheed Martin severed their ties ...and the number of new recruits to scouting dwindled remorselessly, and so did their finances. And in the end the boy scouts' leader caved - but too late. In the blink of an eye, the boy scouts had been, as my friend Ezra Levant likes to say, "de-normalized", and banished to the fringe, and nice soccer mommies don't want l'il Jimmy playing on the extremist fringe.

Scoutmaster accused of sexual assault same day BSA lifts ban on gay leaders
The Internet is doesn't let you make false statements. We can search all day on homosexuals in the BSA.
There are more queer choir directors than scoutmasters. That doesn’t begin to uncover teachers, coaches and priests.
Historically, chidren were cherished as God’s gift, the perpetuation of His image in His creation, never as livestock. If we are merely undesireable livestock, it’s not wonder we are condemned to the progressive zoo.

Everything is God’s gift. No culture ever had kids to please the true God because he doesn’t work that way. Every child is born a sinner and they will sin until they die. Genesis explains that they will work to eat, etc. So, while we are no livestock, as you put it, we also do not pop out of our mothers as a gift of sinless grace either. Historically, people have children to propagate their DNA. It is a biological function, not a Godly one, since animals do it too.
Whether you have 1 child or 20, you have accomplished the biological imperative, produced a sinner and a worker, and God may or may not save them. In a high-tech world, you don’t need a minivan full of crotchfruit to prove your value to God. He already loves you fully.
There is a traditional Catholic scouting group called the Troops of St. George:
