They are already a shell of what they were, even in the 90’s when I was involved. Today they caved into PC and signed their death wish.

We’re through the looking glass here people, and living in the strange reality on the other side of the mirror.

Our enemy wants to destroy tradition, traditional institutions, societal norms, to destroy the past itself.

Actually, I doubt this will make that much difference at this point; those who are going to turn their backs on them already have and those left won't care.

It has nothing to do with gender equality. It has everything to do with pre-emptively avoiding the "My child is a trans-gender and boy scouts is not allowing my boy to be a girl, or my girl to be a boy" thing. It's 3D chess.
They thought this would be a way to avoid the whole tranny boy scout issue. Everyone just "assumes" the boy is a girl. So, a girl who wants to be a boy can join and no one would have an issue. Or a boy who decides he wants to be a girl can be a girl in the boy scouts.

Some of those boy scouts are going to get preggers on a camping trip and its going to be a mess for all involved and sort of involved.

I remember how much fun we got into with flint, steel, and sharp things... BSA also introduced me to safely using shotguns and .22s though, so that is awesome.

My interest in shooting came from the scouts too. I even taught shotgun merit badge at summer camp one year.

Sad what it has become.

That doesn't change the experience I had.  

On a less controversial note and tangent:  You know what my biggest regret from Scouting is?  At the 1973 National Jamboree, I traded away my field cap to some scout from England.  Can't remember what I got, but I wish I still had it.

Actually not true.  The LDS still supported the BSA at least until eagle scout.  Will be interesting to see how they take this considering they are 25% of all scouts iirc.

That maybe over thinking it.  I prefer the more simpler reason of needing more bodies to offset the loss of mormons so that revenue does not dive worse than it has been.  It's much tougher to find bodies from the traditional pool of recruits, so they expanded it.

You need to understand that the BSA and it's councils own a significant amount of property that requires maintenance, taxes, and other expenses to be paid.  Because of this, their fixed monthly costs are high without counting variable costs.  You also need to know that councils have been selling property at times in order to meet expenses.  They usually sell property that was donated and don't have any restrictions in the deed, or restrictions have expired.  There also has been consolidations of councils to prevent one from bankruptcy.

Bodies generate revenue, the more the better.  Regardless of whether they have mental issues, queers, or equally queerish parents, or of the opposite sex.

I think they will get a short-term fix, but then accelerate the spiral down.

I got my Eagle and OA sash in the early 1970's. Just after that the BSA started changed to be more city oriented with those silly metal belt loop things. To me, scouting started downhill back then. Baden-Powell must be spinning in his grave.

The BSA already has a co-ed Venture program. Venturing is more focused on high adventure like mountain climbing, white water rafting, and other “extreme” outdoor stuff.

It's a damn shame, my grandson just started cub scouts. He will never see scouting as I did. He and my son will be doing a father/son cake baking & decorating as team for a pack competition. WTF ? ? When did cake baking become a Scout activity?
