A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Well, might as well just go ahead and combine both organizations and call them them something like "SLGBTQ Scouts of America". The S is for straight, y'all know the rest.

The Scout program is definitely not the same any more and hasn't been for some time, even though our troop would not have followed in those foot steps, I'm so glad my son went through the Scouts before all of this BS started .... so sad !!

this was all because of political pressure, you know it. There is NO way the leaders of the BSA were happy about this.

Yes, put BS/GS in one group now.....a better era gone by the wayside.......again

It'll be one of those merit badges where everybody gets one and they'll all be 'required' to wear it.

Alternatives:

Trail Life USA for guys

American Heritage Girls for gals.

This decision by BSA should give the alternatives a good boost!

our troop tolerates none of this nonsense. They say the pledge, to include so help me God, say the Scout oath, to include God.

I understand your issues, but remember these are children. If they are transgender, they didn't do it to themselves, the parents did.
