Boy Scout Exodus Has Begun
Politcal Outcast ^ | 5/29/13 | Dave Jolly

Posted on 05/29/2013 2:51:38 PM PDT by Nachum

Last week, the executive board of Boy Scouts of America voted to allow openly gay kids into their programs, thus compromising their long standing set of Christian morals and values. When I heard about their vote, it saddened me to see them succumb to the pressures of a debauched society.

In my report last week about their compromise, I predicted that a number of church sponsored Boy Scout programs would be ended the same way it happened in Canada when they allowed the gays to go camping with them. Well, it seems the exodus has begun.

Southeast Christian Church first opened its doors in 1962 with 53 charter members in Louisville, KY. It has an average weekly attendance of 22,000 and a membership of over 30,000. It is the largest church in Kentucky and fifth largest in the United States.

I will no longer support this new, perverse boy scout organization...

Thia reminds me of what happened when the Jaycees opened their membership to single women. The membership took a nose dive because the wives didn’t want any problems with their husbands getting too close to the new gals.

The Boys Scouts should have changed their charter to be a strictly Judeo-Christian organization, then they should have told everyone that didn’t like their policies to bugger themselves.

It is a sin that the gays/progressives/liberals (whatever you want to call them) are destroying another wholesome institution from the inside.

Good men need to rise up and build a replacement. A better replacement that embraces the fatherless.

The Golden Age of Scouting was from the 1950’s into the mid 1960’s. Membership roles have fallen off for decades since & this PC Gay stance may end it for good!

The BSA had a chance to stand on principle and shine; instead they chose to concede their values to degenerate faggots. I have no pity for the BSA. They made their bed, now they can sleep in it.

They were worried about a couple of big donors dropping out. Now they don’t have to worry the kids won’t be going in.

One of the most stupid votes in history.

As I understand, the Boy Scouts were forced into confronting this issue (and indeed the gay lobby had leverage over them) because large corporate donors, such as UPS, Merck and Intel were threatening to withhold funding from the National Council.

Corporate funding, stays at the National Council, while the local troops are basically self-funding.

So in sum, we can say that the National Council has years ago sold itself to corporate sponsors, and is now paying the price for it. As we often see, maintaining funding and jobs means in the center of a bureaucracy a lot more than principles. Political views will then flow accordingly (AARP, for example).

Meanwhile, the local troops, who get few resources from the National Council (except training materials, guidelines, etc...) must implement the gay-policy.

Sounds like a local revolt against the National Council should be the next step....

If anyone knows more about the inner workings of Boy Scouts funding and legal status, I would like to hear it.

Game Plan:
Kill the BSA
Kill The Churches That No Longer Sponsor Scout Troops

The perfect storm for liberal mischief.

They are systematically going after what is wholesome and good about this country!

Maybe some people still know what “morally straight” means.

Should have said "secular, not Observant Jews"; but it didn't.

It used to be one could be proud of achievements in Scouting, now, it would be best to leave them off the resume.

It’s better to shut down the BSA then to be forced to submit to evil. There is HONOR in that!
