[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We loved Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts and we are progressives. I agree you want to look around and find the right pack/troop.

So many great activities and life skills learned.

Kids and leaders are trained every year on how to prevent abuse.

DS is now an Eagle Scout.[/quote]

I could have written this post.

Scouts was great for my kid. I am sad how many kids will be robbed of the experience because their parents kept them away from it. [/quote]

Funny cuz I’m sad for the boys and men who had their lives destroyed and are being denied justice and reparations even today. All these abused boys and men are former scouts so you’d think you would feel some allegiance and solidarity for them. But maybe that’s not what scouting is. [/quote]

I hope you are homeschooling then because abuse and cover ups happened in schools too. And I'm sure you don't let your kids particpate in sports or watch the Olympics either.[/quote]

I’m a DP, but how old are your kids now? I think it’s fundamentally different for people who enrolled their kids before the scope of the abuse was well known vs. those of us now looking at an organization that has admitted to covering up the abuse of thousands. [/quote]
