Boy Scouts now open to girls

[demi-conservative]

Nothing more than the continuing liberal agenda to erase traditional lines in an attempt to turn everybody into a homogeneous, genderless group.

Another male space gone, what now???

That is the goal... Maleness is evil...

[demi-conservative]

That is the goal...

What is left of male spaces? Demi can't think of any. Military, gone. Male clubs, gone. Scouts, gone.

No. Having been a scoutmaster, I can tell you the problem is dwindling enrollment, especially in urban and suburban settings. The BSA is just trying to increase their market, and they didn't think tapping the animal kingdom was a good idea. That leave girls, or adults.

This is just an extension of an existing move. Years ago they spun off the Scout Venturing program, which was open to older scouts (14-20, if I remember well) and is a coed program. In the the main scouting program, scouts age out on their 18th birthday.

I think the Knights of Columbus is still recruiting. You can get a free wheelchair or walker if you join...

But male-only clubs do seem to be increasingly insolvent.

Demi was wondering about Catholics side, yes.

Well - you can always become a priest. That's still a male-only club.

[demi-conservative]

You are happy at this, prog. Just can't keep mask on, you progs.

Well - you can always become a priest.

Have you thought about Crips for sons of yours? They will get masculine role model there!

probably not for long.

There is always

Source: CONDOMS REQUIRED AT SCOUTS' 24TH WORLD JAMBOREE

Rules demand distribution during coming 12-day 'camping' event

The Boy Scouts have decided to accept people who identify as gay and lesbian among their ranks. And girls are welcome now, too, into the iconic organization, which has renamed itself Scouts BSA.

So what’s next?

A mandate that condoms be made available to “all participants” of its global gathering.

It’s among the demands of the World Scout Committee for any host country of a World Scout Jamboree.

That would include the 24th World Scout Jamboree, scheduled July 21-Aug. 1, 2019, in West Virginia.

The Scouts say: “For the first time, a world jamboree will be hosted by three national Scout organizations: Scouts Canada, Asociación de Scouts de México, and the Boy Scouts of America. These three distinct cultures will join together to host the world Scouting community in a celebration of cultural exchange, mutual understanding, peace, and friendship.”

With condoms.

Commenting on the condom policy, John Stemberger, president of the Florida Family Policy Council, wrote that “it is not clear how far down the rabbit hole the Boy Scouts will continue to fall.”

I'm fairly certain that, like other liberalizing moves, this one is only going to hasten its decline. The Mormons have already pulled out, and they were a significant presence.

Yes they were - but I can tell you that a lot of Scoutmasters resented the strangling hold the Mormon group had on what we could and could not teach the scouts. I suspect all of this will indeed spell the end of the scouts. They have a reputation of being "too right" for the left, and now they will be "too left" for the right. I suspect that will spell their end. It's too bad. I know we did a lot of good for the scouts we served in our town - and the ones who made Life or Eagle prove to be some of the most innovative and self-starting of the group. Half of them gave up their Eagle Scout status status in protest of the Scout's position on homosexuals.

Only within certain denominations.

ETA - well, lookie here....

A Roman Catholic church ordained a 70-year-old woman a priest in Louisville, Kentucky.

About 150 women from all over the world have been ordained by the Roman Catholic Church even though the church bans them from becoming priests.
