[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The BSA is and will continue to be a strong and well-run organization.  Like the schools and other youth organizations, it has [b]shameful periods in its past [/b](including youth abuse) that it has corrected and is moving on from.  There is a DCUM group that is immovably anti-BSA and is well represented by commenters on this thread.  They get a kick out of recycling the same old outdated stuff.  I suggest the rest of us drop interest in this thread.   [/quote]

By "in its past" I think you meant "since its inception" and shameful doesn't even begin to touch the heel dragging they are doing still today. Go check out the executive compensation at BSA and then think about who is most important to them. You know who else had a strong well run organization? The Nazis. Sure they did some 'shameful' stuff but they did run things very efficiently and my train always arrived on time so.../s. Also what kind of person thinks that someone gets a 'kick' out of standing up for abused boys who are now men. [/quote]

No words!!  It is really best that your family does not participate.  That is all I can say.[/quote]

This is what they were saying in 2019!!!

"We are outraged that there have been times that individuals took advantage of our program to take advantage of our program to abuse innocent," said Chief Scout Michael Surbaugh. "We do not keep any reports of sexual abuse secret or hidden from the proper authorities."

Scout leaders said in 2018 there were only five known abuse victims of the 2.2 million youth in the program.

That’s who they are! They had these files all along. They KNEW! 3 years ago they were STILL lying about it. Still trying to protect the rotten core. I guess as long as it didn’t happen to you it doesn’t matter. I guess as long as YOUR scout isn’t rejected from a pack in a church for being gay it doesn’t matter. It always seems that those who make the biggest show of being good and decent are really just morally void. All the information is out there. If you are thinking about scouting you don’t have to listen to me, read it all for yourself. It’s all out there. [/quote]

Your post shows you need to read up more on current Scouts.  You have no idea about the changes that have been made.  [/quote]

They have never copped to the fact that they intentionally and actively hid and allowed the abusers to continue their abuse and didn’t report them to authorities. The most you get is “we failed you”. No, they actively betrayed scouts and knowingly sent them out with wolves.

They still allow packs to discriminate against the  LGBT community. They’re so inclusive they let people exclude.

They are still withholding files and documentation.

The bankruptcy filing is so they can only pay out the minimum they have to pay and protect the organization above the boys and men they destroyed. Peoples lives were demolished. You think $3,500 to 2.7 mil (very few will see that) makes up for a lifetime of drug use, failed relationships, failed potential etc…

Tell me what about the above isn’t true? [/quote]
