Lol. I love this fricking board. Let's ignore the fact that this abuse has been going on looooooong before any liberal infiltration of the gheys and liberals.

Long back to a time when the closeted conservative fine upstanding citizens of these here United States of America were joining the scouts to engage in their closeted fantasies. Y'all are so deluded it's hilarious.

I generally do not use these words to describe sexual deviants... "evil people" would probably be a better description...

I hate that they kowtowed to the leftists over opening up their ranks to girls and how they altered their position on homosexuals, but it sounds like they've been acting like the Roman Catholic church for a long time:

quote:

...
Many of the lawsuits followed the Los Angeles Times’ publication in 2012 of internal Scout records involving about 5,000 men on a blacklist known as the “perversion files,” a closely guarded trove of documents that details sexual abuse allegations against troop leaders and others dating back a century.

Attorney Paul Mones used about 1,200 of the files in a Portland courtroom to win a landmark $19.9-million verdict against the Scouts in 2010 on behalf of a man who was sexually abused as a boy in the 1980s.

“The biggest takeaway from that trial was that the public saw for the first time that the BSA had this vast knowledge base of sexual abuse that they sat on and did not educate the Scouts or their parents, and kept it from the public,” he said. “The importance of The Times’ release of those files was that people then had the ability to do a search online.”

In its yearlong examination of the files, The Times documented hundreds of cases in which the Boy Scouts failed to report accusations to authorities, hid the allegations from parents and the public or urged admitted abusers to quietly resign — and then helped cover their tracks with bogus reasons for their departures.

Accusers cited the files — formally known for decades as the “ineligible volunteer files” and now called the Volunteer Screening Database — as evidence the organization knew of pedophiles in its ranks but failed to protect children.

Look at all these people missing the point. Boy Scouts bent the knee hoping it would make the left like them. It didn’t work. Today the left celebrates the bankruptcy.

The bankruptcy is the side show to this issue. The point is don’t change who you are to please radicals.

A school friend of mine from way back is part of multiple generations of Eagle Scouts in his family. As an adult he still participated, but the last straw for him was when the BSA began accepting homosexuals as troop leaders.

His son will be the last Eagle Scout from his family.

The left destroyed the best youth program in the country, with allies at the top levels of the BSA.

They are bankrupt because they kept molesting kids from what I understand.

So decades with scout leaders that were child molesters was no problem for your friend, but letting in a few gay leaders was the last straw,?

Those pedos were all closet gays. If the BSA had a problem with closet gays abusing young boys, why would people be okay with openly gay men?

They sell cookies. That's about it. Maybe they do a camping trip once a year. But it is nothing like the Boy Scouts and the experiences they provide to young men. Girl Scouts is nothing but a front to sell cookies.

What "major" donor all of a sudden realized that the Boy Scouts didn't want gays and girls in the boy scouts and stopped donating?



United Way in many major cities cut them off. I was on a Council Board at the time and losing United Way funding was a big issue.

Good grief you are clueless and completely missing the point. This bankruptcy was completely caused by decades old abuse cases. It had nothing to do with their changing policies. Individual Councils and Units fund themselves and this is all about the National Organization having to pay possibly millions in settlements.

The Girl Scouts have never had a problem with gay leaders. A lot of lesbians in that organization. They don't like the Boy Scouts allowing girls, because they think it will hurt their membership.

The vast majority of outdoor related youth activities are in decline. For example, the number of hunting license sold in the US decreases each year.

Almost two generations of kids who would rather sit on a couch and watch TV, play video games or stare at their phones.

Gays were permitted in 2015...vast majority of the suits pre-date the acceptance of teh gays.

Very true. Our Troop is doing a Wilderness Survival Camp Out the Weekend for the Merit Badge and it's going to be interesting to see how some of our newer and younger Scouts that are hooked on tech handle this one.

We actually have a rule of no tech at camp outs. We collect the phones and secure them. If they have an emergency they can call.
