BSA Files for Bankruptcy

Timothy Birdnow

I'm not at all surprised; they have systematically wrecked the BSA, They allowed openly gay scouts and gay scoutmasters and then were surprised by all the acts of pedophilia. Then recently they decided to let girls in - to an organization whose main purpose is to teach young boys how to be men. Good grief! It was just a matter of time before the whole thing crumbled.

The Boy Scouts of America Files for Bankruptcy

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) today announced that the national organization has filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to achieve two key objectives: equitably compensate victims who were harmed during their time in Scouting and continue carrying out its mission for years to come. The BSA intends to use the Chapter 11 process to create a Victims Compensation Trust that would provide equitable compensation to victims.

[...]

The BSA has an important duty to keep children safe, supported and protected while preparing them for their futures, and the organization has every intention of continuing to fulfill these important responsibilities.

Tragically, there have been times when individuals took advantage of the BSA’s programs to harm children. The BSA firmly believes that a proposed Victims Compensation Trust structure is the best means of compensating victims in a way that is equitable and protects their identities. The BSA encourages victims to come forward to file a claim as the bankruptcy process moves forward and will provide clear and comprehensive notices about how to do so.

Gee, whoda seen that coming?

I wrote about what has been happening in the Xhe Scouts here, and here.

1 You might have said they killed themselves because they repeatedly broke the Law of Unintended Consequences.

I must say I'm sorry to see this happen. Well, I'm actually sorry to have watched this happen over the years. Back in the 1950s I was very happy to be a Boy Scout -- back when it meant something. Those were happy times.

2 Me too Dana.  It was so wholesome and exciting for a young boy in the old days. It makes me sad to see the Progressives have strangled it the way they have.

A pox upon them!

3 It always rather blew my mind that girls demanded, and were allowed, to join the Boy Scouts, but boys never demanded to join the Girl Scouts. I really think that tells us something about this whole liberal gender bullshit thing. The fact that girls destroyed the Boy Scouts and that Girl Scouts are still going strong should serve as a warning. Maybe us men should attend meetings all wearing white suits.

4 Well, Bill, you are absolutely correct on that. I don't really think that many girls wanted into the BSA, either, just a few who probably were pushed by their parents, and a few others pushed by their hormones. But that's how Liberalism advances - through a vocal minority and media complicity.

The complain many girls had with the GSA was they did too "girly" things. Well, whose fault is that? If the girl scout troup wants to go camping and rock climbing nobody ever said they couldn't. If a girl didn't like a particular troop because they were into quilting or something then they could join another - or form their own. There is no rational argument for demanding entry into the BSA.

That was part of the modern program whereby there are no men or women or races of creeds, where we are all exactly the same. John Lennon's song "Imagine" spelled it out quite succinctly.
