No doubt that the Scouts have been pussified to a large degree.
The problem (as I see it) is that back when you an I were scouts, the leaders were men, and in fact almost all were WAR VETS from WW2 and Korea. Today’s ‘Nam Vets, Desert Storm Vets and the like, are just not as numerous. And, there are a lot more women involved in boy scouting than before.
Forget the whole faggot thing for a minute, and realize that the more women you have involved, the softer things will get. More single mothers, who simply have no idea what boys are like when they are with 30 or 40 other boys.... They don’t like what they see when their boys are with other boys. The rough-housing, the pecking order, the peer pressure to toughen up, the boisterousness, show-off, guns, archery, knives, and so forth.
The Boys Scouts needs MEN, to make boys into men, not women making them into...
Seen it happen in Cubs/Webelos...we will get kids that haven’t earned their Whittlin’ Chip (knife safety, use and care) while in Cubs because the women either don’t know or are scared (had one admit this) to teach the boys because “knives are sharp”.
Excellent points! I agree with all of them.
