[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’d like to join an organization that basically did a sorry/not sorry on decades of sexual abuse then sure. If not, then no.[/quote]

When did this happen?[/quote]

Google Boy Scouts and pedophilia [/quote]

Watch Leave No Trace on Hulu. They are as horrible and depraved as the Catholic Church. They may have sorted the abuse for now but they only did it because they HAD to. Their whole financial situation and their stance on homosexuality continues to be troubling. [/quote]

What is troubling about it? While yes programs chartered by a church might restrict adult participation that is not all of them. And the best way to help push that further out is by joining the inclusive troops not the ones that exclude folks.

“ As of 2014, no youth member (under 18 years old) of any BSA program can be expelled simply for being gay, lesbian, or bisexual. As of 2015, no adult member of any BSA program above the unit level (e.g. district, council, national) can be expelled simply for being gay, lesbian, or bisexual. However, units chartered by faith-based organizations can still deny adult membership in that unit because of their sexual orientation. Units chartered to secular organizations, however, must consider adult applications without regard to sexual orientation. As of 2017, the BSA recognizes a person’s gender as what is listed on the membership application.”
