Are they the only ones who didn’t expect this?

Political correctness was the kiss of death to the Boy Scouts. Bye!

I’m a Cub Scout den leader.
Got this email today:


I am writing to you today in anticipation of news reports that will speculate about the BSA’s financial position. We have an important duty, and an incredible opportunity, to focus as an organization on keeping children safe, supported and protected, and preparing youth for their futures through our nation’s foremost program of character development and values-based leadership training.

To do so in perpetuity, we are working with experts to explore all options available to ensure that the local and national programming of the Boy Scout of America continues uninterrupted. We have a social and moral responsibility to fairly compensate victims who suffered abuse during their time in Scouting, and we also have an obligation to carry out our mission to serve youth, families and local communities through our programs.

We care deeply about all victims of child sex abuse and we are steadfast in our belief that one incident of child abuse is one too many. We sincerely apologize to anyone who was harmed during their time in our programs. As you all know, we have always taken care of victims – we believe them, we believe in fairly compensating them and we have paid for unlimited counseling, by a provider of their choice, regardless of the amount of time that has passed since an instance of abuse. Throughout our history we have taken proactive steps to help victims heal and prevent future abuse. I want to stress that at no time in our history have we knowingly allowed a sexual predator to work with youth, and we always seek to act swiftly when alerted to abuse allegations.

Please know that these matters continue to have the full attention of the highest levels of our organization, and we will communicate transparently as there are developments or updates to share. I wanted to update you today due to the news speculation, and I want to assure you that our daily mission will continue and that there are no imminent actions or immediate decisions expected.

Thank you for your continued support of the Boy Scouts of America.

Michael B. Surbaugh
Chief Scout Executive

Prepared. For Life.

Homosexual scoutmasters going into the woods with teenage boys.

What could possibly go wrong?

(Do I really need a sarc/ tag?)

LIBERALS DESTROY EVERYTHING THEY TOUCH!

Maybe the BSA pro-homo leaders can get their NAMBLA pals to bail them out.

This a travesty, but given BSA's recent track record, a deserved one and hardly surprising.

Scouting was a big part of my youth in the 60s   :-(

It is, however, concrete proof that the faggot agenda is NOT as popular as they would have Americans believe.

The BSA went into this predicament with their eyes open. They were warned a thousand times by parents who had pulled their children out of the organization.

B, Bu, But all homosexuals want is to be able to love whom they want, not to force everyones face in it (BSA, private business owners, private property rental owners, schools, military, ...) right?

This was the plan from the get go of the progressive liberal homosexuals.
The scouts have an incredible amount of property worth many many millions of dollars.
Where do you think that money will go when they liquidate it?

The BSA committed suicide by PC.
Two of my friends mailed there Eagle Scout awards back to the BSA a few years ago.

I rarely post usually just lurk but recent world events have stirred my slumber a little. The interesting thing about the replies to this thread is that they are reveling over something once beautiful destroyed. It’s like you took a mace to a beautiful model and then glorified over the broken and horribly scarred body in glee.

The shambling corpse BSoA has become today prevents me from sending my children there. It’s a cascading forward effect where the young are prevented from socializing from others that are like minded presenting a community front later in life. Simply put there will be no one left to even speak for the Jews.

The better question is are we even free to speak the words against corruption lest we face financial destruction through murderous ostracization at work or social media? Where are the organizations that will guarantee me a job and religious freedom?

Scattered and alone the last vestiges of freedom were picked off with sniper fire.

Sadness.

BSA lost “some 4 million boys?” I thought they would make up those numbers by all the new girl recruits.
