I’d add Independent and Self-sufficient [as possible].
BSA sold their soul to political correctness.
Actually, it’s a very SAD thread.
This is so often what happens when new people take over. They are really interested in making a quick bundle by selling the assets. Happens to churches, clubs, businesses . . .
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.

Totally true, as could be seen from the hundreds of posts here making that very warning. At the very least those “leaders” who turned the BSA into the Boy Sodomites of America, like Gates and Tillerson, should be held personally and financially liable for this disaster, of which they had total warning, and fully knew of the identical disasters the queers visited on the RC Church. PDJT was right on when he said how totally dumb Tillerson is.
A woman in my area was designated a Scout Master!!! I would not let my boys join!
An all girl “Boy Scout” troop? Sounds fabulous. What could go wrong there.

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.
Episcopal church in my neighborhood sold their “air rights”—a particular favorite in NYC, where you can build a very profitable tall building in a very small space.
You can sell them to the people next door to you.
Now huge skyscraper that looks totally bizarre in our neighborhood blocks the view of the beautiful church from Broadway.
One good thing is that the store on the main floor keeps going bankrupt, no matter what they put in there.
There are no more Boy Scouts, there are Non-Binary People Scouts.
I never thought I’d be happy about news like this buy I am
The acceptance of gay scoutmasters under Rex Tillerson started this slide
Yeah. I know.
It can’t be long now.
Now that I’m thinking about it, back in the 50’s and I’m sure earlier,there were “initiation” rites that young scouts had to undergo their first year at summer camp. While not homosexual per se, some were pyhsically dangerous and/or repulsive and today would get people put in jail...namely the older scouts who administered them.
He is a damned moron. Shortly before bellying his way into the State Department he cost Exxon billions by going all-in on a joint arctic oil venture, this when oil was around a hundred bucks.
Anyone but a retard would have reckoned on the volatility at that price, and also the many, many expensive challenges of bringing Russian oil to the market---the hostilities in Ukraine, for instance, and the invasion of Crimea, then then the sanctions Tillerson himself had to impose.
What was the response of Hexus Rex? "I know! Let's go destroy the Boy Scouts too!"
“Ultimately, however, my primary interest is: why? What are their motivations? Power simply for power’s sake; or perhaps a more noble foundation? If one chooses power, then you’re sort of boxed in with a satanic perspective ie pure evil.”
This is gramci’s cultural marxism on autopilot. Destroy everything that ties a society together so that the left(or whoever) can take over. Most of the useful idiots don’t even know why they’re doing it.
BSA lost “some 4 million boys?” I thought they would make up those numbers by all the new girl recruits.
its the homosexual male predators that has destroyed the BSA.....
male homosexuals....
Now onto the next Target, the 4H Club.
Just missed getting Eagle Scout but got plenty of merit badges including orienteering, astronomy, backpacking, wilderness survival, etc. To get my citizenship merit badge I went to interview the mayor of my city. I showed up at City Hall in uniform unannounced and was quickly ushered into the mayor's chamber and was given an audience with him. Those were certainly different times. It would never happen today.
During the 1990s, I put my sons through the program. Cub Scouts, Webelos, the works. But it was different. By then, parents were constantly hovering, mothers even went on camping trips! Pocket knives were verboten and don't even think about archery or rifle range! It wasn't all bad but definitely not the kind of scouting I had as a boy.
