Run and hide, homophobes. Big Gay Al is coming to touch your son...
I was in the Scouts growing up, and he scandals about gay men running Scout troops was a persistent rumor, and one day our troop found out that it wasn't just a rumor.
The son of the troop master and several of his friends tormented a young boy while we were out on a two week trip in the woods. They constantly insulted this kid and made fun of him. Then one day the kid was gone and the troop leaders son was in a very bad mood for the rest of the excursion. Found out later that he and his friends were in the kids tent with the flaps open and caused the kid to break down crying, and the kid begged them to tell him what he had to do to be their friend, to be accepted, and they told him that he would be 'in' if he gave them blow jobs. And so the kid did. I heard that he was brought to some of the adults for special counseling, but I don't know if that was just an excuse or what. maybe they got some too.
Turned out later that the troop leader was a closet ***, switch hitter. His son was too and they ha d a *** clique going on for years.
The parents of the boy that was abused sued and settled out of court with the BSA for a good amount of cash. The Troop leader had to give up his post, but his son did not have any punishment and the same clique elected another *** to take the place of the troop masters son. Everyone there that had any morals left the troop.
Now that there is no restraint on *** scout leaders, hell none of this will ever get out or be any kind of restraint on the BSA.
No way in hell would I let my kids anywhere near that nest of perverts and psychos. Nu-uh.
