I was a leader of the Boy Scouts of America, were you a Scout?

We boys learned a lot about camping, what to do, what not to do. What food is in nature that campers can safely eat? How to correctly build a campfire. How to enjoy being a boy.
Now the Boy Scouts no longer are boy scouts. Will boys camping with girls get girls pregnant?
Watch this woman discuss this from a woman's point of view.

 
I was a cub scout but dropped out before boy scouts. We checked into boy scouts for our kids but we didn't get a good vibe from the local leaders.
Compare the Citizenship in the Nation merit badge syllabus of today, compared to that of the 1970s.

That will tell you all you need to know about how bastardized and watered down the organization has become.

I was a Boy Scout, then counselor at Four Rivers Counsel camp on Kentucky Lake, and after my boys came of age, was a Scout leader.

Pragu as a cite? When will this idiotic party at least slow down. We could hurt ourselves laughing this much.
 
I was never a Boy Scout. I knew a few kids that were. It seemed to be an honorable thing to be, this was in the late 1960's to early 1970's. Let's hope it continues to be something honorable.
It's not anymore....It has become completely hijacked by the post-modernist shitlib mindset.

I was a cub scout, then a Boy Scout. I thought it was a worthwhile thing, but had other priorities at the time and didn't stick it out. I think the Merit Badge program is a good way to motivate kids and get them to do something worthwhile.
 
Troop 11 in NY. I still recall the motto or was it the oath that started with "trustworthy to reverent". Unfortunately for my Troop there was no effort by the Scout leadership to encourage Boy Scout participation. I left the Scouts at the lowest rate but guess I should feel lucky because there was no evidence of homosexual predation at the time. The BSA was able to convince the Supreme Court in a landmark decision that The BSA would be able to restrict overt homosexuals from becoming leaders and suddenly the BSA (with the cooperation of the mainstream media) became the freaking enemy of society.

What's the matter, did the Orange Cheeto or his kids get denied joining the scouts because they are just to damned bully.

Trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.

Right out of my head.

I don't know the politics of the local chapter we checked into for our kids. But both my wife and I thought the local leaders were kind of wonky and trying to be too friendly. As in phony.

I thought about volunteering for the local troop...Then I looked into how they're being instructed, including the aforementioned merit badge syllabus.

The very real possibility of me going R Lee Ermey made me rethink that.

The BSA is doomed.

Sounds just like what ever kid needs to learn.

You're kidding. What do you think?
The attack on the boy scouts is a microcosm of the left's attack on America, on gender, and men in general. Maybe that is something Trump can put right again but somehow rebuild the boy scouts back to what they once were.
 
The Left turned the Boy Scouts into a grooming operation.
No. Individual perv Scout Leaders not living up to what scouting is about, brought shame notoriety to the organization, as a whole, due to the misdeeds of a small few. Pretty much like church preachers and higher ups, brought shame on churches, denominations and organized religion.

You just made me realize that the one thing I have never heard any leftist complain about is the lack of, or watering down of, good male outlets for their kids to join to develop leadership skills, discipline, ruggedness, and general self-dependence.
