The thing is it's frightening just how successful they've been at it.


It's been incremental. After decades of SJWs in cultural areas like artists, actors, musicians, teachers, "psychologists", authors, etc, have displaced objective and observable reality and traditional American values with "empathy, and feeeelings" while the old school citizen patriots have slowly died off, the majority of what remains are these simple minded SJWs.
It's really the same tactic that terrorists use..out breed the enemy until you are the majority. Barely a shot need be fired.

Can't expect to survive years of kiddie diddling without Vatican level financials to cover it up.

How many of those were connected to the same people?

Who are "they"??
I doubt it was the internal members of BSA originating the idea and more likely it was forced on them by SJWs.

That’s why I pulled my son out a couple years ago.

Boy Scouts are for boys.

A person with a vigina is not a boy.

Albuquerque Journal from today

Two former Albuquerque priests alleged to have participated in “sex parties” with children in the 1990s gained access to boys in another arena – by becoming Boy Scout leaders, according to a new lawsuit.

One vulnerable boy, who started in Cub Scouts and Webelo scouting, was “groomed” by the then-priests as early as 1980, culminating in “sexual abuse of all kinds” by 1983 to 1985 and for several years after he left scouting, according to a lawsuit filed against The Boy Scouts of America and the organization’s Great Southwest Council in New Mexico.

The lawsuit filed against the Boy Scouts and its New Mexico nonprofit organization contends that then-Catholic priests Robert Malloy and Ronald Bruckner were leaders in an officially sanctioned Boy Scout troop that operated out of Our Lady of Assumption parish through a charter with the Archdiocese of Santa Fe.

Both Bruckner and Malloy are on the Archdiocese of Santa Fe’s list of priests credibly accused of sexual abuse. Their names surfaced in a recent lawsuit that alleges the two took children to sex parties that were sometimes filmed.

That lawsuit, filed against the archdiocese and the parish Nov. 26, is now part of a Chapter 11 reorganization bankruptcy case filed by the archdiocese last week.

The case against the Boy Scouts alleges that the organization was negligent because it “knew or had reason to know that Malloy and Bruckner had abused boys in their care at a time prior to, or during the time the plaintiff in the case was in their troop.”

At no time did officials of the Boy Scouts of America inform the boy or his family that the organization kept a list of known pedophiles, “which they themselves called ‘the perversion files,’ ” the lawsuit contends.

According to a news release from attorneys, the Boy Scouts of America began keeping secret files on pedophiles (called the “Perversion Files” or “Ineligible Volunteer Files”) soon after the organization formed in 1910. By January of 1935, BSA had accumulated approximately 1,000 pedophile files. In the decades between 1920 and 1980 (the time of the plaintiff’s abuse), BSA continued to receive thousands of reports to their national office that Scout Leaders were using their positions of trust to groom and sexually abuse boys in connection with Scout trips, events and activities. During much of this period, the Scouts were receiving at least one or two reports each week about sexual abuse by Scout Leaders.

As I said this organization needs to be shut down for allowing active pedophile rings to operate despite evidence and tacit knowledge that their Scout Leaders were involved for decades.

My entire family was in scouting.

My three boys are not and it's staying that way.

I'm obviously not alone

As an un-molested Eagle Scout, that was given the opportunity to hike the peaks of the Appalachian Trail, to canoe the frigid waters of the Nantahala River, and to steal beer from the Junior League's break room during service projects, I find this disappointing.


As a fellow scout who loved scouting but had no desire to get Eagle, I find it disappointing as well. Both of my boys were in scouting for a while and neither stayed with it. The organization has been a mess for a long time. Sad to see the decline.

If the abuse isn't reported in a school and the administrators know about it they all go to jail.

I see what you mean, but if "it" isn't reported no one goes to jail.

The Boy Scouts of America do not have such a law on the books which is why they have covered this stuff for decades and continue to cover it up.


Not sure what you mean. There are laws against the offense. The rules of the BSA have nothing to do with it and speculating how often something happens is just speculation.

My basis for the claim about teachers comes from crime statistics I read in one of Ann Coulters books..the claim was well footnoted.
For every 1 Catholic priest that is charged with molestation 40 teachers are.
That statistic is kind of misleading based on the fact that there are many multiples of "teachers" compared to the number of Catholic priests.

I get what you are saying, but I find it simplistic in its approach. Like good Marxists, he leftist homos who infiltrated the organization did so to destroy it from within. Cleanse the organization of leftists and bring it back to its original purpose - instilling a self-starting, individualist, problem-solving mindset in young men who will one day become productive citizens of our country.
