Mormon church cuts ties to Boy Scouts after program drops ‘boy’ from the name

They’ll be back. They came back after the scouts were “gayified.”

>>> “The BSA is in league with the devil, ever since they equivocated on their godly moral values,” Stephen Graham of the Utah-based Standard of Liberty told LifeSiteNews at the time, “and so why would you ever want to associate with them anymore?” <<<

Amen to that! None of our kids will be going into the Soy Scouts either.

“Effective on December 31, 2019, the Church will conclude its relationship as a chartered organization with all Scouting programs around the world,”

What makes the BSA acceptable today and for the next year and a half, but not on January 1, 2020?

Should that not be "Cis-Scouts"?

[dljordan]

Everything in this country has to be feminized.

[Karliner]

I read somewhere over 450,000 scouts ditched them since yesterday. Even watched cringe worthy Naomi Wolfe on Crowders show and she agreed this is lame.

[Salvavida]

Ever since they switched from the traditional green olive-drab uniforms, it has been all down hill for BSA.

Question: If BSA drops BSA, then isn’t BSA open to being trademarked and put into use to replace the old BSA?

Yeah, that's my question. 2019?!!!

But I would surmise that there may be some hope that the BSA will reconsider, and are using the future date as a bargaining chip.

Scouts BSA has opened the door to girls and that door cannot be closed.

[CodeToad]

Xe-Scouts.

Since the word ‘scout’ means someone that looks for the enemy, Xe-Participant.

How many more traditional American institutions are we going to allow the left to subvert and destroy?

BSA

Take your own damn kids out camping. Show them direction, explain topography and aspect, learn tree and understory names, show how to build/start/responsibly extinguish a campfire, teach how to swim, etc. etc. etc.

Hell with the scouts.

[Myrddin]

No, they won't. Only the 8-13 year olds will retain a tie through Dec 31, 2019. The older ones are cut off now. A world-wide replacement for both boys and girls is being rolled out. Even the long standing home teaching and relief society practices are being changed. I haven't read all of the recent conference proceedings, but even people who have are waiting to see the details.

The LDS ward troops were pretty insulated from the "gay" policy changes, but that clearly set in motion plans to ditch the BSA as the official program for the young men.

[43north]

Ouch! The LDS BSA Charter may be as much as 50% of their membership. I hope they stick to their decision. The Scouts I grew up in have been sacrificed on the altar of PC feminazi-ism.

You and I know that, but why the LDS Church doesn't is a head scratcher.

[ConjunctionJunction]

I think LDS membership is around 18-20% of the BSA. Still pretty huge, though.
