The Mormon boys who will be leaving Boy Scouts represent about 18.5 per cent of the 2.3 million youth in the organisation.

An Eagle Scout Explains the Fatal Folly of Taking the ‘Boy’ out of Boy Scouts
. . . "I was proud to be a Scout, prouder still to earn my Eagle rank just before my 18th birthday. But of course, as we all know, once social justice warriors gets their slimy tentacles into something their thirst is never quenched until that something is entirely destroyed, and such has it been with Boy Scouting ever since its clueless national leaders began leading the organization down that perilous cliff.

"From openly gay scout leaders to transgender members to just last Wednesday, when the organization officially announced a name change to Scouts BSA because, well, Boy Scouting isn’t just for boys anymore.

“ 'We’re trying to find the right way to say we’re here for both young men and young women,” said hapless Boy Scouts Chief Scout Executive Mike Surbaugh. Because everyone is the same, don’t you know. Because little boys and little girls are, as far as today’s liberals are concerned, identical to each other in every possible way except a few ‘easily changeable’ body parts.

"Of course, anyone with half a brain knows that boys and girls are different, but reason and common sense has never stopped a rabid social justice warrior from wanting to impose their twisted view of reality on the rest of us. " . . .

The UK Independent reports:  Mormons to cut nearly century-old tie with Boy Scouts, a week after decision to drop 'boy' from name



"The Mormon church will cut all ties with Boy Scouts, a week after movement announced its decision to drop 'boy' from its name.
"A statement issued by the church said it had opted for the split so it could create its own youth programme, although the two organisations' values had clearly diverged over recent years.
See the source image"The announcement was not a complete surprise after the religion last year removed 185,000 boys between the ages of 14 and 18 from the Scouts, signalling an end to a nearly century-old relationship based on shared values.
"In 2015 the Boy Scouts decided to allow gay troop leaders and announced last year it would allow girls in its ranks. 
"Last week, the organisation said it would change the name of its flagship programme next year to Scouts BSA to account for the inclusion of girls." . . .
We can now expect TV depictions of boys in the Scouts being put in their place  by more skilled girls who are better at everything, and having a smirk on their faces.
