Nah. You’re forgetting about Utes Suck.

Almost as annoying was the annual registration process, there’s a name for it

Pretending that the BSA is a corrupt organization is dishonest and disheartening

AFewThoughts

May 7, 2:47pm

The rot had set in. I doubt it was financial corruption.

May 7, 3:44pm

I would refute that, they had a few rogue troops that were in open defiance, but

I worked in an office building next to BSA HQ in Irving, TX

I think an honest assessment would separate the abuse people suffered from

The root cause of BSA's problems were poor governance

No healthy organization would ban water gun fights

I do miss BSA. It was a worthwhile program and the benefits greatly outweighed

AF_Puma

I'm sorry, I cannot imagine any benefit outweighing child abuse and pedophilia

futbalmaven

The program benefitted a ton of ym and helped make them who they are

Better discontinue every youth program everywhere then because there will always be that risk

Not at the levels it's been at the BSA

futbalmaven

May 7, 1:16pm

Right. All of those pedophiles have now been thwarted in their efforts to abuse

Did I mention the immoral wokeism indoctrination that's now current?

futbalmaven

Like why the Church cut ties with the BSA

futbalmaven

May 7, 2:01pm

I wouldn't wish BSA level exposure on any child.

The correct thinking is all the boys who wont be preyed on

Just ask the Roman Catholic Church.

Yep, it's bad there too

futbalmaven

Sure, if you want to be myopic. I spent over 30 years in BSA and none of the YM

Friends of Scouting, the original NIL collective…

ochobeeguy

I pretty much detest every sort of fund-raising in the Church that isn't the youth working to earn money for their cause

BlooGeek

There should be no fundraising in the church beyond tithing.

Now that the financial position of the church is better understood
