[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing wrong with BSA's figuring out it needed to find a new strategy, and then following it.  Adoption of don't ask don't tell in the 90's was a mistake that catastrophically damaged the BSA's good name and caused it to lose a generation of members, leaders and chartered organizations who were unwilling to affiliate with it.  Repairing that mistake will, in the end and in total, cost the BSA probably about 21% of its current membership (including the 3% "Trail Life" departure and 18% Mormon departure).  Leaders of Boy Scout Troops have wanted to have all-girl troops all along for their daughters and friends.  I hope it will more than make-up for those departure losses and the earlier membership losses of the last two decades with the welcoming of girls.  If it had not taken these steps, BSA would be continuing down its old path of becoming an ever-smaller and specialized group of suburbanized kids advocating narrow political and faith points of view.   It looks to be succeeding at the early stages in terms of membership and I applaud that.  I don't view it as a money grab -- just the outcome of sustainable decision-making for the kids.  [/quote]

What’s the plan for marketing the hiding of all the sex offender troop leaders?[/quote]
