[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The same old anti-BSA rants are so lame.  So is the misrepresentation of the current youth protection practices and wide-open welcome to everyone.  No organization is history has voluntarily declared bankruptcy to raise 2.3 billion to provide some sense of justice for those harmed in the 80s and before.  Yes, that is indeed saying "sorry" and meaning it.  Cub Scouts is an outstanding program, and just like Girl Scouts is always dependent on the quality of parent-leaders to provide a good experience.  We have outstanding Cub Scout groups in the DMV that you can safely and confidently participate in. [/quote]

Every thread on this subject is the same old same old, mostly from people who have no current or former experience with scouts.  My kids decided not to go into boy scouts, but they really did enjoy their time in cub scouts.  Hiking, camping, pinewood derby, and generally being outdoors and having fun with other kids.  What more could you ask for.[/quote]

Not being around pedos[/quote]

Try not being an ar$hole. Everyone associated with every organization that has had the great misfortune to have children abused by trusted adults (and that is literally every organization involving children for obvious reasons) is not themselves a podo or in favor of pedos or hoping it happens to their kid.  We can't let the sick abusers shut down every single club and activity and school and church for our children. We can do our best to put protection in place and processes for accountability.

Unless you have locked your children in your house, you too are exposing them to potential pedophiles every day.[/quote]

The only released A PORTION of their files in 2012 and had to do so under court order. They knew, the knew and they tried to keep it quiet and they tried and continue to try to short the survivors. So, no we shouldn’t shut down every activity hyperbole Harriett, but we should not allow organizations that have abused thousands of boys in the past and covered it up and continue to try to cover up as much as they can and protect their assets before the kids, shut down. I mean wow, no wonder kids keep getting abused because there are so many ostriches and apologists here. [/quote]
