Pretending that the BSA is a corrupt organization is dishonest and disheartening

AFewThoughts

The rot had set in. I doubt it was financial corruption.

I would refute that, they had a few rogue troops that were in open defiance, but

The root cause of BSA's problems were poor governance

I do miss BSA. It was a worthwhile program and the benefits greatly outweighed

I'm sorry, I cannot imagine any benefit outweighing child abuse and pedophilia

Better discontinue every youth program everywhere then because there will always be that risk

Not at the levels it's been at the BSA

Did I mention the immoral wokeism indoctrination that's now current?

Like why the Church cut ties with the BSA

I wouldn't wish BSA level exposure on any child.

The correct thinking is all the boys who wont be preyed on

Just ask the Roman Catholic Church.

Yep, it's bad there too

I pretty much detest every sort of fund-raising in the Church that isn't the youth working to earn money for their cause

There should be no fundraising in the church beyond tithing.
