Boy Scouts of America to begin accepting transgender boys
Yahoo Reuters ^ | January 30, 2017

The Boy Scouts of America said on Monday the group would begin accepting transgender boys, bucking its more than a century-old practice of using the gender stated on a birth certificate to determine eligibility. "Starting today, we will accept and register youth in the Cub and Boy Scout programs based on the gender identity indicated on the application," Boy Scouts of America communications director Effie Delimarkos said in an emailed statement.

It was time to give up on them 4 years ago when they capitulated to the sodomites. Every other perversion was assured from that point forward.

Freaking retards. Didn’t they realize they also have to change their name?

They are macro-agressing pansexuals, just for starters.

And just “scouts” is problematic. Scouts are up front, in the lead, leaders. This fascist concept macro-agesses those that identify as followers or losers.

I agree that is part of it. It is also true that the BSA not only rolled over, they embraced it.

How sad. They are dead to me as well.

I’m glad I knew a saner America.
I’m very sad my children and grandchildren face this insanity dressed up as progress.

I read about this travesty while wearing my Trail Life USA uniform. We started our troop in January 2014 and have been blessed.

My son just earned the highest award in Trail Life. Similar to Eagle Scout and harder to earn. It’s called the Freedom Award. He is the first in our state to earn it.

Quit supporting Girl Scouts a long time ago - WalMart knockoff Samoas are just as good and way cheaper anyway.

Will no longer support BSA either.

Thanks. I sure hope we’re able to serve many, many young men

Trail Life’s mission is to “serve generations of courageous young men to honor God, serve others, lead with integrity and experience outdoor adventure.
