How about “Formerly Great Organization With a Rich History Now Dying of Self-Inflicted Wounds”?

Yep. The end.

WBill Jr. joined Cubs before all this foolishness started. I decided to let him keep rolling with it, because he'd look at a removal as a punishment. Instead, I got heavily involved and made sure that all the foolishness didn't infect the troop (it didn't, in fact, the troop became more conservative....) But I digress.

When we got started a few years ago, there were 35-40 kids in the cub scout pack. This whole "gays in the scouts" thing flared up soon after we joined.

Now, there are 6 left and the pack is hanging on by a fingernail. I'd guess that it will disband next year; trying to add girls to it will be the end of it. Other packs are just as bad off, or worse. A handful of them have disbanded, the "Big" one in the area is down to 30 or so, from 120-140...and it's only that big because it vacuumed up leftovers from disbanded packs.

I worked on recruiting for a couple of years. The higher-ups (not local) blamed everything - video games, soccer, youth football, karate classes, too much homework, not enough homework, bad camping weather, single-parent families... everything - for membership loss. All of these things existed just a few years ago, though. There's nothing new locally, no new teams, no new rec leagues, nothing.

So what's changed? The leadership started to make poor decisions. Everyone quit. It's not hard to go from point A to point B.

Sad to see a great institution crumble. Liberals cannot create, they only destroy all that they infect.
