really don't understand why the fact that some guy tried to blow you 20 years ago or whatever has to translate into some big cash payout.

I love how people argue that Scouts are outdated. The fact that most people today lack even the most basic outdoor and survival skills drives me insane. I know grown men who can’t build and start a camp fire. You end up with the hordes of people at Katrina that stood in the road with their hands up at government helicopters begging for help instead of taking care of themselves.

Are the Boy Scouts the new Catholic Church?
The Catholic Church had a couple hundred year head start on the molesting of young boys.

As an Eagle Scout,
Same. Lived through the jokes. Hiked two-legs of the AT and most of the trails in North Alabama, canoed every creek in AL with class II or better rapid, Hiawatha, Natahalia, etc.
Aside the fact that our SM was an avid outdoors-man, conversationalist, father to (3) daughters and never taught a merit-badge class on the weekends or otherwise, we always had four or five other fathers on these trips and at most-all of the meeting to drive vans, help with organizing and enjoy the outdoors.
Granted pedos are deceitful, but it's damn disappointing that those evil frickers worked their way into the system without some dad seeing the warning signs. But maybe I'm thinking from the early 80's mentality.
It really is a damn shame.

You wouldn't be surprised how resourceful a 14YO young man can be pitching a tent and cooking a camp meal in the dark, with temps in the mid-30s and raining cats and dogs, with minimal help from adults.

It sounds like adults in the Boy Scouts helped 14 year olds pitch tents all the time

We literally saw a post earlier of a woman wanting to sue the LEGO Store because another client groped her in their store. People are retarded.

You've got to put a lot of the blame on the parents who let their boys spend the weekend with these creepy old men. Some of these boy scout leaders have no business being alone with young boys. Parents should have yanked their kids out of that group immediately or gone along on the trip

We aren't saying survival skills are outdated, we are saying the program itself wasn't keeping up with the changing times and lifestyles of a majority of families. Boys and their families just didn't care to do it anymore, so the BSA got desperate and let in others to try and get more bodies in the door. This is fact. People that get all pissy about them letting in girls and gay people should of been popping out little boys and enroll in it if they had a problem with the BSA going this direction. They didn't and now we have this version of the BSA.

As an Eagle Scout, this is really heartbreaking for me. I was part of a great organization led by several good men, including my father who volunteered his time. I know everyone makes jokes and all that but the Boy Scouts is a great organization. The leadership had little supervision and allowed any volunteers to be a part. They trusted people to do the right thing and uphold their moral code but in the end, that will be their demise thanks to a small percentage of people who took advantage of these kids as well as the system.
The Boy Scouts is a great organization and it is a shame these perverts will bring it down. Biden Powell is rolling over in his grave right now.
All of that's true and other than land and facilities, specifically set aside for scouting. They have no assets.

I think your sarcasm detector is faulty. He’s clearly making a joke about how many OTers on this board always think a woman is out for money and lying about their assault. I can think of one note worthy case in particular. But that’s neither here nor there. There’s a board for that.
Anyway. I made it to Tenderfoot before realizing it wasn’t really my thing. Thankfully my leadership wasn’t filled with pedos. But the system they had for volunteers not really be checked out? Yea. They made that shite easy for predators.

Scout training isn’t going to help you find clean water and food sources after a massive hurricane like Katrina decimates entire swaths of land. I sure as frick don’t remember getting disaster training or my two Eagle Scout brothers either. Make a fire? Sure.
And hate to tell you, but the populations hit the hardest by Katrina aren’t going to be the ones with access to Boy Scouts either. Sorry, but my experience with Scouts is that you need a certain level of money for it. The Scouts were always pretty white for me.

You sir, are an a-hole. As if I never got hit with that in Junior High.
FWIW: Canteen boy was the funniest SNL skit I've seen in a long time.

There are plenty of other reasons to bash gay's but to blame them being allowed to be scout leaders as the reason shows a lack of knowledge on the situation. 99% of the claims are before the gays were allowed in plus just a tiny bit of research will tell you that the majority of child molesters are heterosexual. The blame for this falls directly on messed up hetro's.

Sorry I was vague in my wording: what alternative TO BSA for people is best moving forward?
