Boy Scouts of America may declare bankruptcy
New York Post ^ | December 12, 2018 | Max Jaeger

The Boy Scouts of America is mulling declaring bankruptcy amid flagging membership and an avalanche of costly sex abuse allegations, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Leaders have hired Chicago law firm Sidley Austin for help in a potential Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, sources told the outlet.

The organization has been fending off lawsuits over alleged abuse, including one filed by four former scouts who called the club a “pedophile magnet” and alleged that they were molested by scoutmaster Waldron Ackerman between 1974 and 1976.

The organization has reportedly lost two-thirds of its members — some 4 million boys — since the 1970s.

Yup...The marxists have been way too successful in destroying all of our institutions. Now they’re on their final march to bring this country to crisis and then normalization.

So true. Fiscal bankruptcy follows moral bankruptcy.

We had a homosexual scout master in my Iowa troop in the mid-late ‘50’s. He was eventually murdered for his troubles. No lawsuits, arrests, convictions. Remains a cold case to the best of my knowledge.

Eagle Scout 1953.

Could be truth to that, could be why they brought in gays and women. So it would ruin the organization and have to sell off the real estate.

Those camps weren’t just for boy scouts, the girl scouts would rent them as well as other organization.

They dug the grave, let the sink into it.

I always admired them, but no longer.

Liberals touched it, and with the shit-as touch, they durned it into Dorkbama stuff.

They walked into it by abandoning moral values. Same thing that has happened the the apostate mainline churches. They are all on the verge of going under as well.

That is correct. More destruction of decent American society by Progressives.

Another well poisoned by the likes of Obama-worshipers.

That really is a shame. My kids all belonged to the Cub Scouts, although even way back then the Boy Scout organization was starting to deteriorate.

One of my boys became a Scout Master, and my wife and I attended the Eagle Scout ceremonies of his two sons. They had a connection with local High Anglican Church, and a Catholic Church, and still preserved the original values. But I’m afraid it will all go down the drain. It’s been coming on for a long time, although they managed to keep their troop in line much longer than most.

They are having a rough time time because one man convinced their board to allow openly gay men into the organization... the Mormons took their 600K+ members and walked away...

If you read the article though you’d have no idea that was why the Mormons left... lawsuits from homosexual pedophiles in the 70s aren’t what has bankrupted them... forcing homosexuality into children is.0

If you introduce a bunch of screwball PC values into a traditional values organization disaster is what happens.
