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.

Sad to say but good riddance to them.

That’s what happens when you step away from being morally straight.

Rush has his “Limbaugh law”: Any organization not explicitly convervative and bound to moral values, will bow to political correctness and be unstoppable in the road to ruin.

Another organization that gave up its moral principles to support the pink mafia.

Didn’t Tillerson have something to do with inviting homos in?

Now what will the girls do?!?!?!?!?

From the article:

As if that wasn’t enough, the Girl Scouts is suing the Boy Scouts for trademark infringement and dilution after the latter decided to drop the “boy” from its name and rebrand as “Scouts.”

In some future decade, America might try to learn the definition of "misandry." Obviously, there's no rush.

After being hounded by purple mafia politicians for decades to let them in.
Including a pervert named Mitt Romney, for those keeping score.

Yup — It was all part of The Plan.

A bunch of straight, morally-upright boys can’t be allowed.

Do they have an LGBTQ badge yet? I’m almost afraid to ask.

Marxist needed to destroy the BSA. Every man that walked on the moon was an Eagle Scout. BSA before the gays destroyed it was a place to rear men.

GOOD!
may the sicko perverted BSA go out of business ASAP!

what a shame.. such a formerly-fine, even wonderful organization... but it just takes a few rotten apples in management to destroy almost any big outfit
and

there are several alternative, much better .. more moral...
boy’s organizations

if BSA gets the Hell out of the way, these others (and maybe new good ones too) will do the job for us just fine!

GTH BSA!

please keep your eagle

you earned it when BSA was honorable

....
our deservedly-honored vets should keep their medals, too,
and not send them back with bricks
just because of the shame of John F. Kerry
