I'm spreading fake news. 
From the Tiger Cub youth protection pamphlet:
and...
Great idea. Let's pollute children because there is no way we can control the adults we allow into the organization.
The forest or the trees. You obviously already picked. So did I, and I choose NOT to "normalize" myself or my kids for the intentional trends of declining societal morality.
Reminds me a little bit of Aleister Crowley's 'brilliance'..."Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law".
An ignore feature on TD. That's funny too. You don't need an ignore feature to ignore what has happened to the BSA.
From the Tiger Cub youth protection pamphlet:
quote:
Tell your child that your permission is required before he or she may accept an invitation from a Scout leader or another parent to an activity outside of Scouting and that all such invitations must be reported to you. The BSA recommends that parents insist that two adults are present (two-deep leadership) when authorizing non-Scouting activities for their children.
and...
quote:
“What if something happens on a camping trip (or at a neighbor’s house, or at a friend’s house) that makes you feel afraid or confused?” I could talk to my pack leader about it right away. He said we could talk to him about anything that made us feel unsafe. When I get home, I would tell a parent what happened. “What if someone is making you feel unsafe, and the first person you tell can’t help you?” I would tell one of my other trusted grown-ups until I find one who can help. “What if one of your trusted adults is making you feel unsafe or uncomfortable?” I am allowed to say NO to any adult who makes me feel afraid, confused, or unsafe. I would say NO and then contact one of the other adults on my list to get help.

Can you control the adults that work in your child's school? What about the ones that coach your kids teams? What about the ones that live in the neighborhood, or just drive through it?
Are you a parent?
I'm really struggling with trying to understand, why teaching kids about danger is a bad thing.
In the 80s, when I was in Cub Scouts, we learned about stranger dangers.
Scouts - at the core - is about teaching life skills. The ability for a child to know how to respond to a danger is one of the most basic life skills there is. It's not just about what to do during a Scout meeting. It's about life. And while hopefully your son or daughter will never be confronted with such an issue, especially not in Scouts - why would you not want him/her to be informed about how to deal with it if it does?
I get that the move isn't 100 percent popular and that there are some issues with it - but this is a really, really strange thing to harp on.

Ok what's nefarious or normalizing indecent behavior in a pamphlet that's been saying the same thing since at least the early 90's?
Stranger danger isn't new. Talking with kids to self report abuse in a neutral way isn't new. This didn't change.
