Here is another opinion on the current Boy Scouts situation

To be sure, I disagree with Matt Walsh on a couple of points:

First of all, I do not think the BSA is dead. Not yet. The current cadre and the overall inertia that is always present in a large and long-existing organization will make it go for a while. There is a chance that our kids will still be able to experience it the right way, though there is certainly no guarantee.

Second, I do not agree that the process is complete. The spine of the BSA has, indeed, been broken. Now the left will have a juicy opportunity to turn it into yet another tool of pushing their agenda. I am sure that many more changes will follow.

But there is one part of the article that I agree with wholeheartedly:

<< the Scouts will provide a very helpful example for my boys. I plan to use this sad story as a cautionary tale to teach them one crucial thing:

Never, ever, ever, ever surrender to the enemies of truth and reason.

Do not give them an inch. Do not compromise on anything, even the smallest thing. If you are sure that you are standing firmly on solid ground, do not surrender the smallest portion of it. Stand firm, no matter how much they whine about it, and no matter what insults and accusations they throw at you.

The Boy Scouts thought it could satiate leftists by revoking its prohibition on gay scouts. All it did was whet their appetites. It showed weakness; it dripped a little blood in the water, and the feeding frenzy began. The Left is not interested in making minor reforms and changes to things. Rather, it wants to completely obliterate every traditional American institution and rebuild them in its own deformed image. If you show any susceptibility, you will not be left alone until you have been completely torn down and annihilated. >>

Scouts...

<< Following the Boy Scouts’ move to allow girls into the organization, nearly 4,000 girls have joined roughly 170 Cub Scout packs participating in the first phase of the new policy, and the pace is expected to intensify this summer under a nationwide multimedia recruitment campaign titled "Scout Me In." >>

This is important. We are not talking about accepting just a few girls who really, really, really want it. This is just the first step, and there is an active RECRUITMENT campaign.

More on scouting - the first serious fallout

Now, this is something I was not aware of - the Mormons constitute 2% of the total US population, but they were sponsoring almost 20% of the boy scouts! (For those who do not know how it works - every scouting unit is sponsored by a so called chartered organization, usually a church).

<< The Mormon church announced Tuesday it will sever a more than century-old tie with the Boy Scouts of America and transfer its remaining 425,000 b...oys in the program into a gospel-focused youth group it is developing.

The church’s announcement follows the Boy Scouts’ unprecedented decision in 2015 to allow gay troop leaders and last year, to allow girls in its ranks – both seemingly at odds with the conservative beliefs of the Mormon church.
....
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints initially said it was "deeply troubled" by the Boy Scouts' policy change on gays but stayed with the organization after receiving assurances it could appoint troop leaders in accordance with its own religious and moral values.
...
The church has long been the biggest sponsor of Boy Scout troops in the United States, constituting around 19 percent of the 2.3 million youth in the organization >>
