Where's The Mass Exodus of Scout Troops?

Today was the beginning of a welcomed new era for the Boy Scouts, as openly gay scouts are now allowed to participate. Despite screams of boycotts and a mass exodus from anti-gay groups, very few have left and those that have have been replaced by even more supportive groups.

A new policy allowing openly gay youth to participate in Boy Scouts of America — but continuing to prohibit LGBT adults from serving as leaders — went into effect Wednesday. But despite dire warnings from anti-LGBT activists that even this half-measure would be “catastrophic” for the organization, very few religious organizations have abandoned the organization over the policy.
The organization voted to lift its ban on gay youth last May, with 61 percent in support. At the same time, it reaffirmed its policy requiring discrimination against any openly LGBT person over the age of 18.
A few religious groups objected to even this partial change. The Assemblies of God, an anti-gay Pentecostal denomination, and the Southern Baptist Convention both promised a “mass exodus” from the organization and a small group of anti-LGBT activists have launched a Christian-only BSA alternative.
But the mass exodus has simply not materialized. A BSA spokesman noted that the vast majority of religious groups have stayed with the organization despite the policy shift. The BSA estimates that less than 2 percent of its 116,000 Scout units were abandoned by their sponsors.
And even in some very conservative places, those abandoned troops have found new backers. Joey Kiker, spokesman for the Greater Alabama Council in Birmingham, told a local newpsaper that while a few churches that sponsored Scout units have left, “every single unit that lost a charter partner, within an hour, had a new charter partner.” And Brad Haddock, a national board member from Wichita, Kansas likened the warnings to the Y2K scare. “There hasn’t been a whole lot of fallout,” he told the Associated Press, observing that “If a church said they wouldn’t work with us, we’d have a church right down the street say, ‘We’ll take the troop.’”

I'm standing on the sidelines on this issue.

But that is part of the problem.

Over the last five or more decades, good Americans ignored their own principles and traditions and beliefs in order to allow the whining, vocal majorities and minorities to achieve what they believed was progress.

But it was not progress at all.

And now that we see what has become of America by standing aside and letting the Libs have their way all the time, we see that the Libs and radicals and, whatever the hell Obama is, have now gained access to the bridge on the ship of state and we KNOW they can't drive well.

Yet, we stand aside and do nothing yet again.

So as not to stand in the way of progress and to maintain domestic tranquility.

Anyway, a great exodus wasn't to be expected by anyone knowledgeable on the subject.

Here's a thought.

Why don't you go somewhere and become so?

By the way, have any of you Libs ever stopped to realize that when we did dominate the society and culture and economy in post WWII America, we did not destroy Liberalism when we might have.

But now that you have gained power the first thing you guys would do is destroy Conservatism and the GOP and Christianity/Judaism.

You teach us that the next time we get the chance to call the shots, knowing you are at war with US and the America which gave you so much, we shouldn't be as generous and magnanimous or conciliatory with you guys.


Wow. All that anger and paranoia, wrapped up on just one person...
 
Exactly, so why are so many conservatives freaking out about this? How many gays boys are actually going to be in the Boy Scouts? The vast majority of troops at any given time won't have any.

People need to lighten up and worry about things that are actually important.
2% and have a hell of a lot of power...just like Jews do. Oh and fortunately I found out that there is a group both my kids can join when we move to Tn. So no more GS or BS for my kids. My daughter is in GS and I am about tired of the bullshit anyways. Was supposed to have meeting the 31st of December wasted my time going to where it was to be held. No on ethere and no one showed up either.I just love wasting my money signing her up and paying for the vest and patches just to be stiffed on the meetings...this was the one they were supposed to learn about selling the cookies as well.

You have such a stressful life.......I blame the Jews


yes, indeed:

Manual for Nazi-Nutbags and assorted Icemen, p. 2:

When in doubt, blame the jews.
 
In September 2013, a new scouting group (not affiliated with the BSA) called Trail Life USA (which will not admit openly gay youth) was created.[43][44][45] In September 2013, several Baptist congregations, as well as churches from other Christian denominations, replaced their Boy Scouts of America troops with those of Trail Life USA.[46]

My son will be joining in January of 2015. :)

Good move....

I would not want you affiliated with my sons Boy Scout Troop
 
The chances of the public learning the truth is slim to none. Even if a troop leaves a church and goes to another, how many boys transitioned? Did the troop go from 50 to 15.

Boy scout troops don't just meet in a church, the boys who attend that church belong to the troop. It is unlikely that entire families will change churches to accommodate a gay boy scout troop. The BSA will eventually become all gay.
And they won't even have to change their initials...

Butt
Scouts of
America

I personally know multiple families of friends in IN that immediately pulled their sons out of the BUTT SCOUTS when they heard.

Maybe you think I'm the only one who recognizes what's happening in America.

Maybe you are one of the minority of people who fails to see what's happened already.

When you arrange your home or your workspace or your career or your relationship, or in this case your country and your government, to suit your needs for an extended period, is it anger and paranoia you feel when you see something about to disrupt or destroy it?

The steamroller is what's headed our way.

You are like Kevin Kline before he realizes he is stuck and can't escape the threat he COULD have prevented or avoided had he taken prudent measures.

No, not anger or paranoia, just recognition.

The steamroller is headed our way.

Don't say you weren't warned.

Read your bible. It doesnt tell you to deny rights to anyone. If I am wrong please post the passage.

What fucking rights are homosexuals being denied?

A Federal court explained what rights were being denied gay Americans in Utah, for example:

Applying the law as it is required to do, the court holds that Utah’s prohibition on same sex
marriage conflicts with the United States Constitution’s guarantees of equal protection and
due process under the law. The State’s current laws deny its gay and lesbian citizens their
fundamental right to marry and, in so doing, demean the dignity of these same-sex couples for no rational reason. Accordingly, the court finds that these laws are unconstitutional.

Dont get all emotional about it. Marriage to the person they love for one. I'm still not seeing your Bible passage telling you God gave you the power to deny them that right.

You're wrong by the way.

Oh, of this I have no doubt at all. The question is how long it will take until your fucked-up, inhumane, murderous ideology will ruin them. I do hope you didn't name them Eva and Joseph.
