This makes it hard to be upset by boys identifying as girls competing in girl sports.

This is truly sad. Bit by bit, piece by piece. We seem helpless to the destruction of our institutions, culture and nation.

[Secret Agent Man]

Amen to that

My thoughts too. There’s no way anyone can earn 137 badges in two years. None. Zero.

They have completely diluted the once difficult accomplishment of Eagle Scout.

I was only a Cub Scout. Got back into it with my boys. One achieved Eagle.

In 2013, after BSA lost their moral compass, we made the decision to join Trail Life USA. We never looked back.

Our other son earned the Freedom Award, Trail Life’s pinnacle. It’s far more difficult and challenging than Eagle.

Btw, we will always be an organization for boys. Always.

I’m an Eagle Scout that worked as a professional Scouter for two council offices as a District Executive and eventually a Senior District Executive. Our main job is fundraising and after getting cussed and yelled from my bosses (drunks that forgot the Scout Law) because every fundraising source dried up because of the Great Recession, I had a nervous breakdown and walked away.

Years later, I’ve kept contact with my old colleagues and saw how these supposedly conservative, religious folks started cheering for LGBT scouts and leaders being admitted and girls joining Scouting. They have exalted girls getting Eagle Scouts so much, every time one gets the rank, they issue a press release. A girl earning Eagle Scout makes the newspaper and the local news, as well as social media. No one cares anymore when a boy becomes an Eagle.

My old colleagues are wh*res that will sell their soul to the devil to sign up more members and raise money. It’s not working. The only council office that gained membership in the entire country is Texarkana, TX. When I worked in the 2000s, our boy membership grew 5-10% every year.

I have a son that I would love to pass along our family tradition of Scouting. Currently, all the Troops in my area are boy-only and as long as he stays away from summer camp, he will have an experience just like mine. I will volunteer as Scoutmaster to make sure the Scouting experience remains traditional. If anything changes, we’ll walk away from Scouting with a heavy heart, but not without going down without a fight.

Yes, I know of alternatives such as Trail Live USA. There are no programs offered within 50 miles.

Actually Trail Life is for boys ages 5-17

The Girl Scout leaders were mostly lesbians? Just guessing. :-P

~1999

Nancy Manahan shattered centuries of taboo when she and Rosemary Curb published the critically acclaimed Lesbian Nuns: Breaking Silence. Now, Manahan is back looking at another taboo subject -- the presence of lesbians in the Girl Scouts.For years, the Girl Scouts, the largest voluntary organization of girls and women in the world, has sent a clear message to the lesbians in its ranks -- stay hidden. Although some lesbian girls and women have felt at home in the world of Girl Scouting, others have endured discrimination and hypocrisy. In spite of the fact that its mission is the empowerment of girls, the organization has devalued and disempowered many of its adult volunteers and professional staff, as well as its young members, because it subscribes to the larger society's entrenched fear of homosexuality.That gap between the Girl Scouts' professed values and actual practice can be painfully wide. Despite a policy of nondiscrimination, the organization that has launched so many young women into productive lives as activists, innovators and leaders practices de facto don't ask, don't tell, similar to the present policy of the United States military -- a practice that ignores scouting's own core values and beliefs.On My Honor: Lesbians Reflect on Their Scouting Experience is the first book to explore the contributions lesbians have made to Girl Scouting, the impact scouting has had on lesbians, and some of the problems undermining this relationship.

All of our institutions are full of apparatchiks who would happily rent their kids for a nice paycheck. I see no way out of this corruption. It’s cancerous and the prognosis is terminal.

[Cuttnhorse]

Order Of The Arrow must be a bummer with chicks.
I cannot imagine a girl being silent for a whole weekend.

LOL! Very good!!

[Stravinsky]

I don’t remember the names, but I’ve seen at least two FReeper Scouting guys cheer girls in Scouting and effuse praise on the girls in their troops. Shocked me both times because, from an outsider’s perspective, it seems pretty obvious why each should be its own thing. Don’t get why they want to help destroy that institution.

[centermass_socrates]

What's next ? A menstruation badge?

[HIDEK6]

Mostly?

[San Joaquin]

In Scouting, it can be done. In the 1970s, in attempting to appeal to urban youth, they dumbed down the program so bad, a boy could become an Eagle without ever camping. A grassroots effort to bring back “Outing in Scouting” finally reversed a lot of this urban appeal by the late 80s.

Just like ridding the GOP of Never-Trumpers, start getting good people involved in the local (county) level that will select like-minded people at the next level, all the way to the top. A battle of attrition for the soul of your GOP, Scouts, school board, is what’s needed to make this country right.

[JustTheTruth]

The article’s big miss: giving then vs. now BSA membership counts.

[Maine Mariner]

I agree; however note that some merit badges can be earned in a very short period of time, such as finger printing and that there are merit badge weekends that offer the possibility of earning at least one or two merit badge.

[San Joaquin]

An otherwise conservative former colleague was a big advocate for girls to join Boy Scouts. He didn’t want his daughter exposed to the feminazi propaganda the Girl Scouts offers, but wanted her to experience the ideals of Scouting. My thought was his family should get involved and make sure that the Girl Scout program was best it could be for his daughter.

As a former scout, I can attest that a mere sight of an attractive older sister picking up their younger brother from a troop meeting can change half the troop’s attitude. Raging hormones, lol.

[I want the USA back]

Can a trans girl join the Boy Scouts as a girl? Or does he have to join as a boy? Is the insanity now irreversible?

[S.O.S121.500]

Why bother calling it the Boy Scouts.

Misspelling of Boi Scouts...

As an Eagle Scout myself who earned his Eagle nearly 40 years ago I can say that it is a real shame what has happened to the BSA. First the pedophilia scandals and now this. My former Scoutmaster must be rolling over in his grave
