The Rise and Fall of the Boy Scouts | WSJ

1. Wsj so it a true🤥

2. every time

3. And letting that ORANGE monster come to a jamboree was a bad idea. Komrade Don was another slap in the BSAs face.

4. Not the “Mormon church”. Amazes me how news companies still get this wrong. It’s The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

   Boy Scouts deviated from their standards. That was the cause of the decline.

   I teach my own kids the scouting principles I learned in the 90’s. Traditional scouting lives on that way.

   Sad to see the Boy Scouts organization fall due to breaking their own law. The organization leaders are directly responsible as well as the society trends.

   2013 was the end of Boy Scouts.

   Still proud to have earned the rank of Eagle Scout when the Boy Scouts were Boy Scouts.

5. The be VERY clear. To this day. The Mormon church still actively enrolls their young men in scouting. The PR spin of them “parting ways” was them consolidating their troops under a new company rather than directly under the church while still having all their youth participate in scouts. I know this from personal experience and current legal rulings. It’s a lie.

6. I can tell you first hand that the PTSD that these little boys suffered from sexual abuse is life long. When you're a guy and you're fearful, having no trust in men..it's a painful journey through life when it comes to just about everything when you CANNOT trust. If the Boy Scouts had done something to prevent this when claims were filed at the time, maybe some of these boys would have had the help they needed and the protection they were promised. The boy scouts are still not coming forth with the promises they swore they'd put into action to this day.

7. yk luckily here in the Philippines, boy scouts are considered to have some prestige in being a scout.

8. I’m my opinion, it’s not the bsa’s fault for the god dang lawsuits and this is definitely the United Sates of MURICAs best organization

9. In Indonesia Scout is Mandatory Activity

10. Do better research ! before you broadcast .

11. Multiple claims? Like 82k

12. Scouting is still going strong and is still Americas best youth development organization. Their youth protection program is rigorous and comprehensive…better than you will find in any youth organization

13. Scouts never die

14. Pretty much a coordinated take-down of an organization that upholds American values. You can’t have that when trying to take down the United States.

15. Go Woke, Go Broke.

16. It needs to be rebuilt as an all men's/boys organization. Allowing girls into the mix defeats the purpose.

17. What happens in a scout's tent stays in the tent

18. LOL you think we have fallen😂 we have only grown more. The only fall had was during COVID-19

19. The Mormons left the BSA because the BSA bent the knee toward the LGBT.
    And here we are with kids getting sexually abused… what a coincidence, amiright?

20. Scouting is a movement. A lot of national associations have acted in that way and revalued their activities to match it. Only those being stuck in traditional attitudes will go down, being targeted by the woke critics. Anyone researching Baden Powell thoroughly will rather come across a very critical person than someone flowing with the stream. Let's face it: Nobody of that era had values matching 21st Century ideals. Get used to that.

21. Why the scouts have been sued, is beyond me. Every volunteer is approved by their sponsoring organization, not the boy scouts. Those organizations have the responsibility of approving every volunteer ( that man/or may not have committed a crime) The Boy Scouts only provides the program information for them. Its their responsibility.

22. Coming from 2023 as a first class scout it’s still a thing and now we have girls and an entire rebrand

23. The liberal media destroyed another american institution. A few bad apples spotlighted by the far left who now tries to indoctrinate the youth will never understand the values the boy scouts offer.

24. Honestly, let scouting be the new school.

25. In hindsight the founding members of the Crips and the Blood were fortunate that they couldn’t join the scouts or even hey also might have been victimized by this evil organization.

26. I went through the whole scout program in Canada from Cubs to Rovers. Breaks my heart to see that the Scouts are now a mere shadow of what they once were. I don’t keep in touch with people I went to high school with, however I do correspond on a regular basis with some that I was with in Scouts. We learned a lot of great life skills that were never covered in a classroom. Too bad subsequent generations will not get that same education from decent adults.

29. Let it die. There's something truly wrong with an organization full of grown men that want to sleep in tents with young boys. And yes I was scout. There's something wrong with the whole thing.

30. A white liberal woman killed it.

31. Now boy scouts are gay ?😢

32. The future is still good for Scouts. Our Long Island troop is strong, the kids that join have a great time, as do the adults who help oversee the program. — Proud dad of 2 recent Eagles
