This is only for two of the programs that aren’t mainstream. I expect all their boys will still do it through 14/15 yrs old.

For next year. They appear to be phasing out altogether. They are going to develop a program in house. Catholics should do the same.This is a good thing. Just today in the local paper was a story about abuse in the Boy Scouts locally.
My experience in scouting was abusive, though not sexual.

However, it appears the scouts are reaping what they sow when caving to the bullying of the advocates of homosexual issues.

Good riddance!

Neither Boy Scouts nor Girl Scouts are Christian organizations. Our parish is looking at Trail Life. A Roman Catholic parish in our area has AHG.

Problem is Catholics are way less unified than Mormons, not to mention way less geographically concentrated. A Mormon alternative to the BSA will probably flourish in Utah, because they have a large enough population in one place to support it. They’re just way less diffuse.
 
Its sad that the Scouts have caved to the pressure of progressives. Its as though every mainstream organization that promotes normal values is having enormous pressure brought to bear to alter their ethos, or to vanish from the public square.

I enjoyed the scouts, I learned a lot about the outdoors and selfless service. One of the strengths of scouting is that it is both a national and international organization. A Life Scout in Arizona goes through the same trials as a Life Scout form South Carolina. An Eagle Scout is a nationally recognized achievement. With the Scouts splintering and churches and communities switching to smaller groups more compatible with their beliefs, all that is lost.

I think it’s time to recognize that those of us who adhere to the traditional ideas of sexual morality are the ones outside the mainstream. The new BSA is promoting “normal” values. (Not necessarily the RIGHT values, but the ones that a solid majority of our society holds.)

Time to recognize it. We’re the weirdos, not them.
