What a sad fucking end to a once magnificent organization,
destroyed by liberalism and weak homosexual Obama democrat
leadership.
Gutless cunts. These are the kind of people who need to be
strung up by their necks until the crows pick their bones clean,
and wind scatters the remainder to the ground.
The Boy Scouts of America doubled down Wednesday on its quest to
become the scouting organization of choice for boys and girls,
announcing it will drop "Boy" from the name of its signature
program.
But the decision didn't impress the Girl Scout organization,
which noted no new, "girl specific" programming.
Girl Scouts is the premier leadership development organization
for girls, Sylvia Acevedo, CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA, said
in a statement. We are, and will remain, the first choice for
girls and parents."
Both groups, which have been at odds since the Boy Scouts
decided to open its doors to girls, have been struggling with
declining membership.
The umbrella organization will retain its name, Boy Scouts of
America or BSA. The term Cub Scouts, for kids 7-10 years old, is
gender neutral and also will go unchanged. Boy Scouts, which
includes kids from 10 to 17, will become Scouts BSA in February.
Chief Scout Executive Mike Surbaugh unveiled the group's "Scout
Me In" marketing campaign aimed at promoting inclusiveness. As
we enter a new era for our organization, it is important that
all youth can see themselves in Scouting in every way possible,"
Surbaugh said.
Change has been coming quickly to the iconic if shrinking
organization. In October, it announced it would provide programs
for girls. Several months before that, the group announced it
would accept and register transgender youths into its
organization.
In 2015, it ended its ban on gay leaders.
Cub Scouts will formally accept girls starting this summer.
Surbaugh said more than 3,000 girls nationwide already enrolled
in the BSAs Early Adopter Program and are participating in Cub
Scouts before the full launch.
Allowing girls into the organization allows busy families to
consolidate programs for their kids, BSA says. Most of the
actual Cub packs and Scout troops, however, will be single
gender. Girls and boys can work toward the prestigious title of
Eagle Scout.
Cub Scouts is a lot of fun, and now its available to all
kids, said Stephen Medlicott, BSA marketing director. Thats
why we love Scout Me In because it speaks to girls and boys
and tells them, This is for you. We want you to join!
Boy Scouts of America claims almost 2.3 million members, down
from 2.6 million five years ago. That includes Venturing and Sea
Scouting programs, the latter allowing membership up to 21
years of age. In its peak years, BSA had more than 4 million
participants.
Adults play a major role in the program: Almost 1 million adult
volunteers serve as the backbone of the organization.
It's too early to determine what impact the aggressive BSA
effort to recruit girls will have on the Girl Scouts, an
organization best known for its lucrative annual cookie sales.
The organization, founded two years after Boy Scouts, currently
claims a membership of about 1.8 million.
The Girl Scouts list a series of efforts designed to "stay ahead
of the pack of youth organizations." That includes 23 new merit
badges focusing on outdoors and STEM (science, technology,
engineering and math). And last month, the organization unveiled
a LinkedIn network aimed tapping a major resource the group's
50 million alums.
The goal of the network is "to support female advancement in the
workforce and help prepare girls for a lifetime of leadership
and career success."
Still, the impact of the BSA effort is being felt. One regional
leader, Fiona Cummings of Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois, told
the Associated Press the BSAs decision to admit girls is among
the factors that have shrunk her councils youth membership by
more than 500 girls so far this year.
She said relations with the Boy Scouts in her region used to be
collaborative and now are very chilly.
