And what month was it that they went gay?

I think 6 percent does not tell the whole tale. but 2014 and a full year will.

I pulled my boys after never getting a response to my concern letter.

In five years they will be admitting boy-loving adult leaders, then you’ll see an exodus.

My son wouldn’t be in it. I wouldn’t give a nickel to the BS. Liberals have infected 3 major institutions that Americans love and respect, and all at the same time. Marriage, Military and the BS. All by design.

In general, people just aren't doing much with their kids anymore.

Organized youth sports are down considerably too.

Time for a schism.

The boys who are in the program will see it through but that six percent drop is likely composed primarily of a drop in new memberships. That’s because parents like me are not going to send their boys camping with homosexuals anymore than we’d send our daughters to go camping with boys and men.

I never expected a mass exodus.

I did expect a moderate exodus but, more significantly, I believe there will be a continuing decline in new membership.

If people really love and care for their boys they would remove them. It should have been 100%. There is nothing so vile as normalizing irrational vile behaviors in little boys which “explaining” homosexuality to boys does in this setting.

It is pure warpage of how boys look at their bodies and others-—destroying the possibility of Christian Ethics which creates Rationality and Virtue.

They are forcing little boys to be irrational and throw out Truth and to be moral relativists (atheists/pagans/Satanists).

“The Boy Scouts of America experienced a modest dip in membership in 2013, but not the mass exodus that some social conservatives predicted while it was considering changing its membership policy on gays.

Boy Scouts membership fell by 6 percent last year, leaving it with nearly 2.5 million youth members and 960,000 adult members.”

While I’m sure that some families might have pulled their sons, it probably reflects a lack of new boys joining in sufficient number to replace those leaving. I would think any boys that have been in Boy Scouts form more than a year are probably committed to staying in. I would think that 6 percent is a healthy chunk of whatever percent leave Scouting in a typical year. Perhaps half?

Cheryl Wetzstein certainly is GLAAD that there was only a 6 per cent decline.

My grandfather and uncle were Scout leaders. I was a Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Den Chief, and Explorer many years ago. There is no way that I would ever encourage anyone to join the Scouts today.

I had no idea there was one adult for every 3 boy scouts in the organization.

No wonder the gays want in...ripe pickings.

I wonder what the response would be if I told my boss my 6 percent decline in sales was a "modest dip"

Their biggest problem will be in future years as fewer and fewer parents think putting their boys into scouting is a safe idea ?

That’s disappointing - should have been 60%. I guess some folks just don’t mind their sons getting boinked up the butt on a camping trip.
