Homosexuality destroys whatever it touches.
This seems to hit the general point.
This was a club, and parents/guardians were expected to contribute and participate. Specific bad actors should be punished, but not by taking the resources of thousands, hundreds, or even dozens of non-participants.
Scouting was about developing an attitude of being as self sufficient as possible while embracing community.

This is what happens when you give in to the left. At first they want just a little change here or there, then before you wake up, they are in charge and they change and ruin everything.
I remember by Boy Scout days fondly. I learned skills I still use and made many good friends.
I am saddened by its demise......
I was a member of the Cub Scouts and Webelos, though never the Boy Scouts. I had fun - camping, evening meetings, achievement badges - and I’m sad to see the Boy Scouts in danger of disappearing. But then I was never molested by some adult, as apparently a lot of kids were. It seems to me the Boy Scouts aren’t being destroyed by the Left but by pedophiles.
Sad it’s come to this. I used to be proud of my Order of The Eagle - these days it’s best unmentioned unless I want to discuss this tragedy - which I don’t - but anger burns deep and I mourn the loss.

The kinds of protections suggested by the author are clear and very reasonable. However, they’d almost have to be enshrined in a constitutional amendment to have the kind of permanence and standing so that activist judges and smart lawyers don’t simply disregard the principle, continuing business-as-usual.
Can this be done to save it ?

As a lifelong Scout and parent of multiple Eagle Scouts, I realized BSA was bankrupt long ago. When they abandoned “morally straight”, they compromised their fundamental identity and started an irreversible slide.
There is no pillar of American society that liberals do not seek to sully and destroy.
"This writer" (John F. DiLeo) should ask himself if it is cruel or unfair to prevent single young men from taking teenaged girls on overnight trips sleeping away from their families.
If it is NOT cruel and unfair (as is obvious to anyone over the age of 12), why does he have a different emotion when it comes to same-sex attracted men and teenaged boys?
