When they allowed gay boys, I told people that gay scoutmasters would happen within 5 years. Barely a year went by. The culture rot slide is getting steeper and faster.
Just like educational standards, sin has been dumbed down by those who don't want to do the necessary work needed to reach a higher bar. Won't be long now for the bar to be placed in a ditch.

Not good but not surprising. At least units have autonomy.

The national office caved in (follow the money). Now the gay activists will start picking off individual councils/troops to make sure they all fall into line. I guarantee it. And money isn't the only leverage they have.

Re: Looks like another exodus from Boy Scouts of America is about to begin.
The new Christian scouts Trail Life are growing leaps and bounds. Joe American really doesn't care for the abominations the old scouts have opened themselves up for.
They are not coming over to Rangers as Rangers isn't really a scouting program anymore. It's a Sunday School Class that meets on another night in many cases. While there are groups that resemble a scouting type outpost it's too much being all and all to everyone it has no solid fiber for scout type people.
If Rangers go much farther.. I will be a Trail Life leader. Several of the leaders in Trail Life are past RR leaders in our District.

Re: Looks like another exodus from Boy Scouts of America is about to begin.
Last weekend we had our BAC Backpacking Action Camp. In class we did trip planning. I made a couple of observations after asking 3 easy questions. Boys at the elete level of JLTA can't remember doing the red compass merit in Discovery Rangers and didn't know anything about a compass. I told our District Director we have successfully taught them a 1000 different things but they remember none of it. Compass like most of the good merits need to have Compass 1, Compass 2, Compass 3, Compass 4, Compass 5 with each merit they are taught the basics once again and then tested and then taught a little more each building on what was taught on 1. Other wise we have a whole bunch of patch wearers who don't know anything.

I sure hope they can swing this thing back around soon. My teeth are just about all ground off from mulling over the new ideas in my head. GRRRR!

I've noticed that too even with other things like rope craft. They barely remember how to tie any of them after awhile. Needs to be reinforcement of skills while adding a little more each time to make them masters of the skills.

Re: Looks like another exodus from Boy Scouts of America is about to begin.
As of today, it's official. At the national level, the BSA will no longer "discriminate" against homosexual men. Every paid and volunteer position is now open to them. But leaders in the field needn't worry. They are being told that they can still choose not to use openly homosexual men.
The national staff breathed a sigh of relief, as they no longer have to deal with a stack of lawsuits against them. Legal experts say it shifts the focus to local councils and troops, who will now have to brace themselves for litigation. Referring to the national action, a homosexual organization spokesman said "It's a start. It's halfway where we want to be."
I told you 12 days ago that this was going to happen. Satan's forces never, ever quit, and they're never satisfied with society's compromises and concessions. Once the lower level BSA leaders give in, homosexual curriculum and merit badges will be introduced. It happened in the public schools. Now it's happening in private organizations, even though the BSA once won in the US Supreme Court.
Once Revelations kicks in, that'll be a revelation to them. Or at least to the few who remain and recognize it for what it is.

Re: Looks like another exodus from Boy Scouts of America is about to begin.
The Trail Life Scouts will indeed grow a bunch. The are holding to Christian Scouting ethics. If they hold true there will be a exodus from a sunday school program called Royal Rangers to a scouting program with Christian values.
So many of us would just love to hand the sunday school teachers some scotch tape and some coloring books and crayons and let them "Sunday school On" if them foolish preachers would just leave us outside types alone and let us be the men God has called us to be.
I keep looking around and you know there are not many people out there that go outside their comfort zone. We keep getting softer and fatter and work seems to be a cuss word. It's really sad how it just keeps going down hill.
Then again....
Maybe It was a hot day and I have been outside working hard in it and I keep looking up and down the street and no one is outside working except me.... I go to these houses and there is 10 people in there waiting for their broadband connection and staying inside. Ha!
With the kids walking around like zombies looking at their phones that should be a wake up call but it doesn't appear to be one. We just laugh and go on.
