Boy Scouts to provide condoms at upcoming World Jamboree
The Washington Times ^ | Tuesday, May 22, 2018 | Bradford Richardson

The Boy Scouts will reportedly provide condoms at the upcoming World Scout Jamboree.

The World Organization of Scouting Movement handbook requires the host organization to “ensure that condoms are readily and easily accessible for all participants and [International Service Team staff] at a number of locations on the site.”

The 2019 World Scout Jamboree will be held in West Virginia from July 21 to Aug. 1. The theme is “Unlock a New World.”

The World Jamboree is an official World Organization of the Scout Movement event. The Boy Scouts are co-hosting this year’s program with two other scouting organizations, Scouts Canada and the Scouts Association of Mexico.

Andy Chapman, vice chairperson of the World Scout Committee, said the co-hosts are working to implement requirements previously laid out by the World Organization of the Scout Movement.

“The World Scout Jamboree organizing team has worked with the co-host countries to align these requirements, which have been in place for the past two World Scout Jamborees, in a manner that is respectful to local laws and preferences,” Mr. Chapman said in a statement.

News of the condom requirement comes months after the Boy Scouts announced it would allow girls to become scouts.

Last year, the scouting organization also changed its policy to permit membership on the basis of gender identity, meaning girls who identified as boys could become scouts.

And in 2015 the Boy Scouts ended its blanket ban on openly gay troop leaders.

John Stemberger, chairman of the board of Trail Life USA, an alternative scouting organization, said it is “not clear how far down the rabbit hole the Boy Scouts will continue to fall.”

Thanks.

I worked for a man once who was a great leader of a family owned company.

When I was asked by people who did not know him (those outside the industry), my reply: “He was an Eagle Scout as a young man and never recovered”.

The highest possible morals, integrity, honesty and concern for his customers and employees. The kind of leadership you simply don’t find today. It was very uncommon back when I worked for him too.

I understand there is also a new badge that takes a bit over nine months to earn, as well...

The direction the reporting media opposed to the BSA being taken over by the “She=He=It movement”. Should be taking is by actively seeking out and reporting on groups and councils involved in scouting very opposed to this direction. Instead of treating it as a fait acompli .

I know the Scout Motto is Be Prepared, but that’s going too far.

Lord Baden Powell must be turning in his grave! Liberals have destroyed everything decent, good, beautiful and true in society. Ours is a sick, decadent society.

The devil’s favorite method is take something that is healthy and wholesome and turn it upside down and make the inversion look good but actually be total evil.
