As I noted on another post last night, we were deeply invested in BSA but left December 31, 2013. On January 1, 2014, our entire troop changed flags and joined Trail Life USA.
There was a period of grief for a once great organization. I feel badly for those who didn’t have the guts or wherewithal to leave and take a different trail.
It’s a hard decision for some. It was less hard for us because we firmly believed that the organizational aims went directly against our beliefs and against Scripture.
It took 103 years for BSA to make their first major cave.
In the ensuing five years the cave-in’s have increased in frequency with seemingly no fight.
Homosexual boys-First cave in
Homosexual leaders
Transgender Scouts
Allowing girls in traditional scouting programs
Distributing condoms at co-ed world jamboree
Changing the name to Scouts USA to be more “inclusive.”
Next will be open acceptance of atheists.
Pretty soon, the scout law will be easier to memorize. Might go down to 3-4 points instead of 12.
Anyone with boys ages 5-17, I encourage you to look go to Traillifeusa.com and look into it.
Our mission is to “Guide generations of courageous young men to honor God, lead with integrity, serve others and experience outdoor adventure.”
One of our themes is to “Let boys be boys.”
Boys are loud, obnoxious, active and everything else you can imagine. They have the attention span of tank of goldfish. We thrive on leading and guiding them to become the courageous young men God envisioned for them.
And it begins. As I was typing this, I got an email from someone interested in their son joining Trail Life.
Good post, and good for you to do something more than simply curse the darkness.
I too was a Cub Scout and Boy Scout back in the day. So sad to see that their “inclusiveness” has now destroyed them. They agreed to accept a little cancer that was intentionally and deceptively camouflaged as a moral good. That cancer is now taking its known path and destroying the host.
