The program benefitted a ton of ym and helped make them who they are
That also can’t just be thrown aside. The number of boys who benefitted far outweighs those who didn’t.
That is not to take away from the horrors of the abuse but this is not so simple in labeling the entire organization as a waste

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

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

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

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