It was over before this, no one put their boys in anymore, membership had dwindled, that’s why girls were let in. Girls helped it survive longer. Parents didn’t send their boys to sustain the organization. I’m glad they let girls in, BSA is pretty much the only organization I could find where I could do outdoors things with my daughter. Girl Scouts won’t let dads do anything, it’s completely women led unlike Cub Scouts which let moms lead well before girls were let in. I stepped up and became a den leader and now assistant Cub master, I’ve got to do summer camp and all sorts of camp outs with my kid. As a leader I know you can skirt ways around these badges, troops will figure out how to get them and not be woke.

Our Cub Scout pack is thriving right now, we were down to around 10 kids during peak Covid, now we are in triple digits for our small area.

Org is coming out of bankruptcy on track, we addressed the sexual abuse including the org taking ownership of it and trying to develop the best possible protection we could from it ever happening again. This isn’t the Catholic Church where we didn’t just tryto make it disappear and hide the criminal somewhere else in the church.
