So, the Boy Scouts of America weren’t prepared?
I think that was the year The Flintstones attended!
What is the point of the Boy Scouts if they now allow girls?
What is the reason for being of such an organization now?
Do the Girl Scouts allow boys?
I find it hard to understand the mindset of certain people, who would be offended that the president of the United States would address a Boy Scout jamboree.
Maybe a stupid question , but do certain people just have no respect for the office of the presidency, even if the president is someone they did not support?
BSA is in its end-stage. Everything the left touches turns to $#!t.
There is no such things as “Boy” Scouts any longer.....
I hear the Boy Scouts are introducing new “tuck friendly” uniforms and am embarrassed to have ever been a Boy Scout.
I thought the Boy Scouts were history.
I guess they kept it viable as a grooming club.
Eeeww.
BSA was an environment where boys could get away from home, experience nature, take risks and get ready for adulthood and/or the military.
My scoutmaster was ex-military, and so gave us a taste of military discipline. Plus we got to play with knives, guns, fire, to sleep on the ground, to eat squirrel that we had caught, all without getting hurt.
But it changed. That little bit of maleness was too much for the left, and they let girls in. Interestingly, the Girl Scouts don’t let boys in.
Though I was never a scout, I encouraged both my sons. They are both Eagle Scouts and fine young men.
My wife assisted with their scouting program as I travelled extensively for work and she absolutely loved it. Being a scout leader and seeing boys grow into young men with leadership qualities truly made her appreciate the program.
When we moved to Australia not long after they got their Eagles, I had free time and became a scout leader here in Australia. It is a dismal program here. It is mixed boys and girls and many of the things that boys should be doing were lost. Instead they should have kept the sexes apart. The Girl Guides are only female.
There are many activities that can be coordinated between boy scouts and Girl guides that would be great for both. However the individual groups should really be gender/sex separated.
I gave up being a scout master due to health reasons, but I still think about the kids every day. Even though the program is broken here, it still provides great value to the kids. BTW, the scout uniforms are very different here. Apparently some time back a bunch of mom’s petitioned the national leadership and got them changed so they wouldn’t look militaristic. Another loss for the program.
Please remember the problem is national leadership and not the kids. Most local units are still great, but they are fighting a losing battle unless national leadership is changed.

Mr Trump made a inappropriate campaign speech to the scouts. One of the more embarrassing moments of his presidency........
... ...uh...
More would have attended but they couldn’t decide to wear pants or dresses .... just skipped it.
Wonder how many of the 15,000 are drag queens.
When they went woke it cost them.
And now, may the Great Scoutmaster of all good scouts be with us now, until we meet again . . .
Oh, who am I kidding? I’m pretty sure the Great Scoutmaster has left the building for now.
