Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Boy Scouts of America embrace gay leaders

I never got the change to the khaki top, the old green was superior.

I was an ASM for many years and all three of my sons are Eagle Scouts. We had a rule in our troop that prohibited electronics during our outings. The boys could use them while in the car, but once we got to our destination they were prohibited, on pain of confiscation for the duration of the trip.

Sounds like the church of LDS is pushing back and reconsidering their association with the organization.

Looking forward to all the threads praising their opposition...

Doesn't really matter. Today most of the Boy Scouts are probably Homo's anyway

Not really, many a boy has done just fine never being in scouts.

I was in for a few years, learned how to build a useless derby car and got out, still did just fine...

Its up to parents to see that the kids do well.

If scouts are coming full of things you don't want them to experience, get em out and go do something else.

No big issue or deal.

Agree with rost. This pathetic idea just paves the way for more pedophile scout leaders.

I grew up in 4-H. Some churches sponsor the Awana program. There are alternatives to the scouts.

Yep.

There's also nothing preventing PARENTS from being involved, maybe even acquiring the old Boy Scout Handbook, and teaching their kids a few things.

A novel and in this day and age perhaps radical idea, to be sure.

hopefully it will catch on!

Damn shame its considered novel and radical.

Shows the decline.

But the good book refers to whats coming anyway eventually, do all you can and you still can't stop it.

Sure seems that the gentle slope we were on in the last years has fallen off a deep bottomless cliff though.

What about the scout oath ?....morally straight ?????

My son wasn't in the Scouts. I don't think he suffered too terribly. He didn't have much time for it between football and baseball at school and hunting and fishing with his dad and grandpa. He is a self sufficient man, college educated hard working and beginning a new family in his newly bought home. Loves to hunt and fish and is a danged good woodsman. Especially loves bowhunting, killed three deer last year with his bow. He is well rounded and well liked and highly regarded in his profession. His mother and I are very proud of our kids (we have a daughter also), both are super young adults. And it wasn't Scouting that made them that way.

This will hit them where it hurts. The Mormon Church is the biggest organization involved in scouting. I just read an article that says they're looking in to pulling out and starting their own similar organization. That will cost them tens of thousands of leaders, kids, and and a huge chunk of their support.

Sounds like there's at least one group of Christians with a set of balls.

The BSA's savings on sleeping bag purchases will be substantial.

Laughin'...

Sick fugk.

The dry cleaning bill, OTOH, will be substantial.

When I was a kid the old joke was 'When does a Cub Scout become a Boy Scout? When he eats his first Brownie'


That just sounds better than 'When does a Cub Scout become a Boy Scout? When he chugs his first cock'

My suspicion is that the separation is already locked and loaded, and the alternate organization is already planned. It's not like we haven't had time to get ready.

Almost half of all Scouts (Cub, Boy, etc.) are registered in LDS sponsored troops.
