Pushing for and allowing homosexual troop leaders for the sake of diversity. What could go wrong?

My wife commented, “How much in assets can the Boy Scouts have left at this point?” They were never as rich as some other institutions where substantial amounts of abuse occurred, an example being the various Churches.

A massive nationwide non stop ad campaign on radio and tv by lawyers probably had something to do with it.

Where’s the “love is love” crowd on this one? Let homosexuals be around young boys and this is what you get.

And the courts say perverts shall be leaders...no discrimination. Disgusting.

And, openly homosexual scouts. What did they think was going to happen?

The intent was to bankrupt and ruin the scouts. We cannot have boys turn into men in this new world, we need to feminize them and create more limp wristed liberals.

Funny how the SJW points they earned by opening the Boy Scouts up to queers and girls haven’t been enough to save their bacon. As for the homosexual element, it seems like they quit trying to enforce the old prohibitions long before they formally buckled on the policy. Many parents of boys have been quietly bypassing the Scouts for a long while.

“The accusers range in age from 8 to 93”

A new lawyer jingle seems to be in the works... And so I’m offering this simple phrase... To kids from eight to ninety-three... Call 1-800-SCREW-BSA today to get small percentage of the money for thee.

Anywhere young people or kids gather there will be the perverts hovering around like vultures looking to prey on them, even joining the organizations and working from the inside.

It was always around - 30 years ago when my Son was active in Scouts, our Troop made a rule that only Fathers of Scouts could be involved. No single older men were allowed to be leaders.

The Council was a different story. Almost all of the full time Council Leaders were single middle-aged men.

Yep, knowing that fact we should have protections in place.

My father was molested by his Scout Master in the 1970s. He was not his first victim, but he was the one who lead to his arrest.

Unfortunately, there were people who suspected such and criminally turned a blind eye.
