Date: December 12th, 2018 9:18 PM Author: Arousing set The fact that they didn't even make the Mormon Church part of the conversation was a huge error. I get the logic. They wanted to make it "family scouting" so parents don't have to go to multiple activities. But now they're getting hit from all sides. And these institutions think they're protecting themselves by hiding the pedos, but they just make it 1000 times worse for themselves once it inevitably comes out.

Date: December 12th, 2018 9:22 PM Author: sick adventurous school codepig Opposition There has been opposition to BSA's membership policies from organizations and individuals. Some within the Scouting movement, as well as long-time Scouting supporters, parents, chartered organizations, and religious organizations have expressed opposition to the policies in ways ranging from protests to forming organizations that advocate greater inclusiveness. Some push for a voluntary change within the BSA, others seek involuntary change by filing lawsuits, still others choose to disassociate themselves from the BSA or encourage others to do so.
Perhaps the most vocal opponent of the policies has been the American Civil Liberties Union, which has brought or been a participant in fourteen lawsuits against the Boy Scouts of America from 1981 to March 2006.[90] A few members of the U.S. Congress have also spoken out against the BSA's policies.[91] Since the Dale decision, some Eagle Scouts (about 100) have returned their Eagle Scout badge to the BSA in protest.[92][93]
Scouting had reported that the 2013 National Scout Jamboree would be headlined by the band Train and singer Carly Rae Jepsen.[94] In March 2013, both cited the BSA policy on gays as barrier to their performance. Train released a statement saying the group "strongly opposes any kind of policy that questions the equality of any American citizen ... We look forward to participating in the Jamboree this summer, as long as they make the right decision before then."[95] In March, entertainer Madonna made a public appearance dressed as a Scout and called for the ban to be lifted.[96] |

I think the dorky uniforms etc make it difficult to admit you are active in it in middle school or high school, but I was happy I did it afterwards.
Going along w whatever is popular at the time is no way to survive. You’ve got to stick to your core and draw others to you. My nephew plays fortenite all the time but still enjoys camping etc. there is literally no other organization where you would get the experience you get with Boy Scouts. That would always have a place for a certain segment of the population |

Revs are 180m/yr, vast majority from dues which have been declining rapidly last five years. Sounds like not being able to make insurance payments for next summers camps will be the straw to break its back. Sad (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4154900&forum_id=2#37399286) |

Date: December 13th, 2018 8:07 AM Author: Excitant bossy market You would know more than I do on how it went down. But it seems they had a small pedophile problem. Nothing rampant, but it was there. Of course, these were gay pedos. So the easiest way to address that -- particularly if you have a strong relationship with various churches -- is to ban gays. Of course, this didn't fly. Now parents have to jump through hoops for their kids to be part of scouts. At the lower levels you always need the parents involved. Yea, I know, they should be involved. But it really kind of hampers the experience to have a bunch of moms and dads milling around cub scout meetings and events. When I was a kid parents dropped their kids off at scouts and the kids had fun with each other, then parents picked them up later. |
