The last stages in the death of what was BSA.

The article is poorly written, btw.

The BSA policy changes in 2015 was the last straw for me. I could no longer be both a Deacon in my church and an Assistant Scout Master. I resigned my position and terminated in contact with, or support for the BSA. Took my son out as well. He had started as a Tiger, received the Arrow of Light and was on his way to Eagle.

It was sad to see such a good organization surrender to the gay mafia.

On my honor, I’ll do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
To obey the Scout Law
To help other people at all times
And to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

Trustworthy
Loyal
Helpful
Friendly
Courteous
Kind
Obedient
Cheerful
Thrifty
Brave
Clean
Reverent

Still trying, every day, 55 years after my last Court of Honor

Trail the Eagle.

They started downhill years ago...I used to guide trout fishing in the Smokies...I did not like seeing all the litter along the road from Townsend to Gatlinburg (Little River)...
I offered a local Scout Troop to take them fishing and furnish rods, reels and lures if they would spend some time picking up litter...

I was told the Scouts were deeply into studying and the use of computers and didn’t have time for that...

That eneded any respect I had for boy Scout Leaders...

I was a boy scout leader (back in the day). I cannot imagine anyone supporting this cult in today’s context. What a sham and a shame.

I was a Boy Scout back in the 40’s. Most of us was so poor we didn’t have a complete Scout uniform. Advanced all the way to Tenderfoot and quit.

These days, it is exceedingly rare to find one that isn't.

Inviting grooming advocates to the National Jamboree is as though the organization is welcoming more lawsuits.

The final nail in the BSA coffin will be a drag queen show at their national jamboree camp. With compulsory attendance.

before facing an avalanche of sexual abuse claims.

Yeah, nobody could have ever seen that coming. /s

This is another symptom of the plague known as liberalism. Liberals need to simply .. vanish. For the sake of earth and civilization.

fully admitting gay men in 2015...before facing an avalanche of sexual abuse claims

Anyone with two brain cells could have seen this coming. There's NO WAY I'd allow my adolescent son to be chaperoned by an adult homosexual.

It's a crying shame that they caved in to the LGBT+ cult.

I can still remember the battle for the BSA back in 2012 or so. Seems a lot longer back in the past than just a decade. I predicted back then that if the BSA ever lifted the ban of self-identifying "gay" scouts, the Gaystapo would own the organization in no time.

It turned out worse than even I thought it would be. The BSA is now a head mounted on the spike, being paraded around for the world to see.

I thought they went out of business with Montgomery Ward.
