He my son got to fuck his first girl when he was 16. They were both on a Venture Crew, and had quite the adventure. Wouldnt want to be Scoutmaster when sally gets pregnant after the SPL goes ball deep on her at summer camp. My boys would enjoy the mile swim with a bunch of gals in bikinis. This is a Scoutmasters nightmare

Some of you do not study history.
Throughout history, whenever there has been any moderately successful conservative institution or social movement, it is inevitably infiltrated by liberals, who turn the institution or movement leftist. Why? Because liberals cannot invent their own successful institutions. They can only move in and destroy. See, for example: the NFL, the Ford Foundation, the State of Virginia, the police and fire unions, America's universities, and the Walt Disney Company. |

How do they not see whats about to happen? When I was a scout we set up our own tents and were a good distance from the adult tents because we were basically independent and were run by the SPL. How do they not understand whats going to happen when the boy's tent is 5 feet from the girl's tent and the adults are a 100 feet or more away? I guess sex ed and proper condom application are going to be the new staples of Scouting.

Keep rooting for this crap all the while the institution goes into a death spiral if you wish. I've got the same stupid square knot as your picture, order of the arrow, etc. and couldn't disagree more with you. Many will be leaving or not continuing with their sons. |

It's all about the funding. Traditional funding dried up long ago. Dues are going from $24 to $33, which isn't even on the BSA website yet, although it will be effective 12/1. They didn't even have the decency to let us know before we set our budgets. They are hurting for money, and this is one way they are trying to solve it. Maybe don't piss off the LDS and you won't have this problem. |

What ever happened to the GSA? The GSA sucks. There's no scouting in GSA anymore. My girl was at summer camp this year, and for the sailing activity, the girls were not allowed to try steering the boats. She's middle school age, old enough. My boy, OTOH, was allowed to steer at the cub scout camp. BSA might clean up because GSA is now little more than a social club with a cookie sale. |

"Be prepared" Life is coed. How does a gender-exclusive program fulfill the very essence of scouting? So glad to see this change finally come to the BSA! Scouting is ideally about turning boys into men capable of leading; producing men who are a part of the workings of their communities and country; about producing moral, God-fearing, upstanding men; and producing men who have a variety of skills of use in the outdoors, especially in the context of the older style of military scouting practiced by men like Burnham and utilized by commanders like Baden-Powell. The shift away from its mission began during the Vietnam Era, when American Boy Scouting started to reject and move away from its martial roots; it's been downhill from there, although it has really accelerated in the last decade or so, with the acceptance of gays, trannies, and now girls, the watering down of the moral component of Scouting, and the watering down of the Eagle Scout and even the merit badges (the heavy involvement of moms can play a role in this at the troop level). Even High Adventure has taken a hit in some councils. My troop's council doesn't even do High Adventure anymore. People like you are helping transform Scouts into something to be shunned, not embraced, and into something that has greatly diminished utility. You are the enemy within, as are a couple of others who have posted so far. It is disgusting and dishonourable. For some, the words "On my honour" must ring rather hollow. Just words from a bygone era to be discarded in our new progressive age. It's downright sickening to observe. |

Doubtful. No one is forcing chartered orgs to do anything different. The separate gender older youth program is by design to do no harm to youth. Data drove the decision. Do you have data why this is bad? Naysayers are in the 12% range. High percent in here. A vocal minority. Also doubtful you have daughters that you would like to have an outdoor experience or challenge themselves to earn first class or Eagle. My $0.02 |

Growing up, all the scouts I knew were a bunch of nerds. Started with the Scout Oath, Pledge of Allegiance, then a prayer. Then we learned a skill or did an activity. Then played games till it got too dark. Once a week, there was "mutual" where we did a "combined activity" with the girls. Camps once a month. Summer camp every summer. Every boy participated. Now I am Scoutmaster, every boy in the Ward participates. Some are nerds. Some are athletes. Some get dragged to every activity by their parents. But we have a good time. The older boys help the younger boys. We actually have a pretty well functioning troop. Several are progressing towards Eagle. We do our own thing. We shoot a lot. We don't strictly follow Boy Scout rules... I have a pretty good time as Scoutmaster. I am pretty torn. I *think* the LDS Church is going to cut Scouts... But who knows... I will keep doing Scouts until it is cut. And then I will do its replacement until I get too old. I have a good time with the boys... They are very interested in learning and life... I very much enjoy it. |

Values. Okay. Here are the values
http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/BoyScouts/TheBuildingBlocksofScouting/values.aspx Scouting is a values-based program with its own code of conduct. The Scout Oath and Law help instill the values of good conduct, respect for others, and honesty. Scouts learn skills that will last a lifetime, including basic outdoor skills, first aid, citizenship skills, leadership skills, and how to get along with others. For almost a century, Scouting has instilled in young men the values and knowledge that they will need to become leaders in their communities and country. How can we not make this available to more youth? |
