Pulled our son out of Cub Scouts last May. Joined the Royal Rangers in July. My son loves it. A true answer to prayer!

I too would be interested to know what, if any, impact the BSA has suffered since throwing their legacy away.

2/12/2014 – BSA Membership Decline

The BSA said that it lost 6 % of its membership after an often-bruising year in which it announced it would accept openly homosexual boys for the 1st time, over the objections of some participants who eventually left the organization. … BSA spokesman Deron Smith said that the 2013 decline could partially be attributed to that change, but also other issues that have caused slight declines in membership over the last decade.

USA today claims a 6% drop in enrollment. But I'd like to see the actual data, as the article is highly biased in favor fo the "change".

Boy Scouts' ranks drop after year of policy change

The BSA mouthpiece is spinning like crazy... in an article that says enrollment is down 6% he had this to say [BSA spokesman Deron Smith ] "Last year was a milestone year for the BSA in many ways," he said. He added that accepting openly gay boys "allows us to serve more kids."
