LBGT Kills an American Institution

The Boy Scouts are 110 years old.
One of the finest organizations imaginable.
Teaching boys and young men skills, moral code, challenge, responsibility was what they were all about.

LGBT gained a little popularity in recent years and decided that Boy scouts were not inclusive enough for them. They wanted girls to join the boys club.

That was damaging enough when scout leadership caved to their demands.
Now, the LBGT of old that abused boys decades ago left damaging scars on those kids,now grown and they're suing in such great number - the scouts are going bankrupt.

It seems that everything the left gets hold of is ruined, broken, soured and over all destroyed.

Boy scouts has also involved Christian indoctrination, violent bullying, and sexual misconduct. I don't care about its demise.

@Success Not necessarily. My son has been a boy scout for several years; in general it's been a great experience. No Christian indoctrination. European boy scouts.

@helenS Lucky boy.

@Success I don't think you actually know anything about the Scouts. Your impression is way incorrect.
Success · 26-30, F
@Budwick You're just looking for a scapegoat. Boy scouts and cub scouts are typically run out of churches and subscribe to Christian values and sexual mores. Much violence and sexual predation was buried for years.

@Success They traveled; they met boy scouts from other countries, they sat by a bonfire, they learned to respect other people and other cultures. My son left when he reached puberty, and started rejecting everything related to his childhood.

@Success Many Packs and Troops net in churches - donated space - so what?

Read the pledges Cubs and Boy Scouts repeat - that explains their motivation.

And, get to a church on Sunday - learn what it's really about.

I was both a Cub Scout leader and Boy Scout leader with my son and you have NO clue the safeguards we had to put in place to make sure those boys were protected. At any time, no adult leader was to be with any child alone. Ever. So what happened in other parts of the country I cannot comment on. All I know is how we were trained.@Success

@Hikingguy We were too.
And, thanks for helping raise up some boys right!

@Hikingguy My son has been a scout for several years (in Europe), and being molested by a scout leader was unthinkable. By a scout leader! Out of the question. Unimaginable. I am 100% sure there was [u]never[/u] anything like that.

I am truly sorry for your son. Heartbreaking. Pedos have no place in this world. As I said, I can only speak for our local counsel and how put in safeguards against that. @helenS

@Hikingguy Maybe I did not express myself well. There was never ever [u]any[/u] sort of child molesting.
Hikingguy · 56-60, M
Ah! Thank you for the clarification. Sorry about that! @helenS
