    I have nothing to do with the Boy Scouts now.

    I am an Eagle Scout with a bronze and gold palm on top of the rank (Additional awards for going above and beyond the rank of Eagle) and had the Ad Altare Dei Medal (Catholic Boy Scout Award for active exercise of Catholic Faith) among other things. I say that not as a puffed up thing, but as an example of someone that was deeply ingratiated with the organization and would've been in the next generation of Scout leaders who has entirely left the organization.

    I quit supporting them when they allowed gays in. Allowing girls in validated my decision. I'm working with my Church, and other local Churches on trying to get a Trail Life USA troop going in my county. Boy Scouts is garbage now.

    Those Boy Scouts look an awful lot like girls.

    I good pastor friend of mine - does have the Boy Scouts at his church.
    He says that if it was a Christian organization - some would not come.

    However- HALF's (Homosexuals and Liberal Friends) are not allowed to be leaders.
    They will accept boys - so they can be given Christian guidance.

    Now if a church does not want to sponsor Scouts (boy or girl) for reasons Bible T gave- I will respect their decision. But Pastor Dan sees these kids as a mission field.

    That sounds too close to being of the world and the ends justifying the means...

    Ecclesiastes1:9-10 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

    Benjamin Keach writing in 1701 of England in general and London in particular:

    "Was ever sodomy so common in a Christian nation, or so notoriously and frequently committed, as by too palpable evidences it appears to be, in and about this city, notwithstanding the clear light of the gospel which shines therein, and the great pains taken to reform the abominable profaneness that abounds? Is it not a wonder the patience of God hath not consumed us in his wrath, before this time? Was ever swearing, blasphemy, whoring, drunkenness, gluttony, self-love, and covetousness, at such a height, as at this time here?" ((Gospel Mysteries Unveiled (1701 ed.; repr. London: L. I. Higham, 1817), III, 310.))

    That's not the same as taking part of the world aka supporting the boy scouts.

    Well, I guess we will have to agree to disagree

    I remember about 20 years ago the Boy Scouts voted to allow gay scout leaders in to avoid the lawsuits. Many predicted it would destroy scouting.They were roundly laugh at and impugned as “homophobic”.

    A year or so ago I read the Boy Scouts had filed for bankruptcy because… (wait for it) of hundreds and hundreds of allegations of sexual abuse of the scouts.

    Today, they have moved into our schools teaching kindergarteners trans ideology along with the rest.

    Radical liberal leftest ideology demands we sacrifice our children to their perversions or be destroyed professionally and personally. It destroys everything it touches like a flesh eating virus.

    We must confront it and stop it with our votes.

    peace to you

    Maybe they don't know or are not sure what they are.

    We had a grooming event here in my town the other day. Drag queens dancing around on the band shell stage in the park with little children giving them money.

    Or get involved with the Boy Scouts and have a true Christian
    perspective

    Here is the Boy Scout Oath
    On my honor, I will do my best
    To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
    To help other people at all times;
    To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.

    Note: Bold - my emphasis

    If I remember, an alternative “scouting” organization formed right after that decision. I haven’t heard of it got any traction.

    The libs will argue they are being morally upright by loving and affirming all kinds of folks.

    I recently started a thread about how often pro gay groups were now embracing Christianity as a foundation of their movement. Pete Buttigeg the Trans Sect literally claimed if you had a problem with his marriage to another man, your problem was actually with God because God supported his marriage.

    I also saw signs that claimed “God is pro-choice” and have heard people argue that God supports a woman’s right to an abortion.

    Evil is very bold in these last days.

    peace to you

    That is like a cousin in-law of mine who made the statement that God cares more about the woman than the fetus (her words). The point being neither one can find that in scripture.

    We kicked the Boy Scouts out of our church when BSA accepted homosexual scouts.

    If scouting USA (new name for BSA) says abomination is acceptable, then what is "morally straight" in their eyes?
    The conservatives pulled out of BSA and started Trail Life USA. Trail Life must be chartered by a fundamental church. They won't even let a liberal church have a charter.
