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

I'll have to ask my brother-in-law (Mormon, involved in scouts) if he's heard about the Mo's pulling out.

At its inception, scouting was to compensate for the urbanization of America as it was moving away from an agrarian society due to the industrialization of the country. The family that farmed together had strong values and that was lacking as families moved to the cities for the opportunities offered there.

The scouting program was started in 1910 to address this change in how boys were still full of energy but without the influence of the family unit that was prevalent as a rural community. Scouting helped put focus into boys lives and keep them out of trouble.

100 years later it has morphed into political correctness and forcing a decaying societie's values on an organization that has passed its prime and lost its focus.

Now we are left with a disgusting group of people that can't see the problems that are being forced on America. There will be a backlash, I hope it is big enough to turn the tide and move back the other way.

My boys were not scouts. Not because scouting didn't have good goals and values, but it is my duty to spend that time with my sons and teach them the things my father taught me...

When my boys were in scouts (both made Eagle) we had a very atypical troop. Small town with a troop chartered in the 30's. We had a lot of father involvement. Very solid troop.

We had several good size ranches to camp on and every other year we did our own summer camp on a large ranch in west Texas.

We also had an annual trap/skeet shoot as well as an annual sight in your deer rifle shoot with a cookout afterwards. My boys left home and things have changed around the place that prevented me from volunteering anymore. Aside from the fact that our scoutmaster succumbed to cancer at 52!

Edit! I just remembered when Levi Strauss company recognized homos and quite donating cash to BSA the old scoutmaster took an old Pair of jeans and cut a hole In the seat. And with a fitting letter set it all to corporate HQ! LOL

this is the disgusting, one sided video I mentioned

Rainbow scout flags?

As I've predicted before...


"Just because I'm a pedophile, why can't I lead a group of Girl Scouts?"

“Having any ban that excludes people from the organization not only affects the organization by not having that diversity, but is also a detriment from those individuals who might be able to benefit from it," says Justin Bickford, from the Scouts for Equality.



There you go. Banning pedophiles, psychopaths, sheep [bleep] etc affects the diversity.

[bleep] diversity.

It is about money. When values and traditions are sacrificed by an organization you can trace it to money - the fear that they will lose it...

"Unless we place our religion and our treasure in the same thing, religion will always be sacrificed."
-Epictetus

BSA is very smart here. They have thrown the Churches that sponsor troops under the law suit bus.

By saying that Churches can still choose their own leaders, they hope to keep them, while stopping any law suits against the BSA and letting the religious organizations face the law suits that have already been promised by various pro-gay groups.

Not smart, spineless.

This! I hope all the churches bail on them.
