The Boy Scouts lost 425,000 members in one week after changing their name to ‘Scouts,’ reports NeonNettle and the Wall Street Journal.
” Earlier this month, it was revealed that the Boy Scouts of America, the 108-year-old organization synonymous with traditional American values, is on the verge of bankruptcy. A report by the Wall Street Journal revealed that a Chicago law firm, Sidley Austin, has been appointed to handle Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. Reports of sinking membership have coincided with various controversies surrounding the organization, including the decision to change its name from Boy Scouts to the more ‘gender natural.’
“Scouts BSA in a bid to encourage girls and transgenders to sign up as members. BSA revealed that the name change is scheduled to come into effect in February 2019, yet membership figures show that one week after they announced the switch…425,000 boys rescinded their membership.
“The organization, which has deep roots in American tradition spanning generations, bowed to pressure insisting it become more ‘gender inclusive.’ However, due to the recent news about their membership numbers and bankruptcy filings, it seems as though the Boy Scouts will be gone before they transition to their new name.
” According to the Western Journal, one week after the century-old Boy Scouts of America announced its name was becoming ‘gender fluid,’ its single biggest participant announced that it was cutting ties to the Scouts.
“The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, usually known as the Mormons, announced that it was severing its relationship with the Scouts effective Dec. 31, 2019, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.”
CNS News and Catholic advocate Bill Donohue confirm:
” Two things immediately happened: the BSA lost 425,000 members in the month it made the announcement (October 2017), and last month the Girl Scouts sued them as well. Inclusion anyone?
“The biggest headache for the BSA came from homosexual activists. They won the support of the media, higher education, left-wing legal groups, even corporate America. In 2013, the BSA allowed homosexual boys to join and in 2015 it ended its ban on gay adult leaders. In 2017, it yielded again, ruling that biological boys who identify as girls can join. Not much left after that.”
[Dr. Chaps’ comment: What sad destruction comes to Christian organizations, when they cave in to LGBT demands and refuse to fight for their charter beliefs. Boy Scouts are a harbinger of bad things to come.]

Boy Scouts go Bankrupt after going Gay
“The Boy Scouts of America is considering filing for bankruptcy protection as it faces dwindling membership and escalating legal costs related to lawsuits over how it handled allegations of sex abuse,” reports Wall Street Journal.
“Leaders of the Boy Scouts, one of the country’s largest youth organizations, have hired law firm Sidley Austin LLP for assistance with a possible chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, according to people familiar with the matter.
“Founded in 1910, the Boy Scouts group says that more than 110 million people have participated in its educational programs, which promote outdoors skills, character-building and leadership.
“The Boy Scouts have been at the center of sexual-abuse scandals in the past, and the organization is facing a number of lawsuits that allege inappropriate conduct by employees or volunteers in incidents dating back as far as the 1960s. Filing for bankruptcy would stop the litigation and would give the nonprofit a chance to negotiate with those who have sued.
“The organization has said that it has never knowingly allowed a sexual predator to work with youth members and has put rules in place to strengthen protections.
“In the annual report, officials said they were ‘aware of threatened and expanding litigation of a similar nature.’ They added that the group’s financial health will also depend on how much of the litigation costs will be covered by insurance.
“The organization has sued its insurers at least twice since 2013, accusing them of failing to cover costs related to previous sex-abuse lawsuits.”
[Dr. Chaps’ comment: The once Christian Boy Scouts showed weakness by letting adult homose xual scout leaders sleep in tents with underage boys. Now their lawsuits claiming sexual abuse are bankrupting the charity. If they had a backbone, and simply kept all sin out, they would remain solvent.
Christian parents should send their sons to Royal Rangers instead.]
