The Patriot Post® · Boy Scouts Limp Along

The Washington Post featured a big story recently about the 2023 Boy Scouts National Jamboree, which concluded last week, and how the event has changed over the years. 
 
The Post was particularly impressed by how “inclusive” the Scouts have become, noting a tent decorated with “LGBTQ Pride flags … its tables covered with bowls of rainbow bracelets, pronoun stickers and diversity patches.”
 
Several paragraphs into the story, the Post admits that attendance at this year’s jamboree is less than half of what it was at the last national jamboree in 2017.
 
The organization is a shell of its former self.  Its membership numbers plummeted as the left destroyed the group, which once encouraged boys and young men to be “morally straight.” 
 
For years, it was bedeviled by sexual abuse cases involving homosexual scoutmasters.  A massive settlement drove the Boy Scouts into bankruptcy.  Now, it’s completely caved to the left by accepting girls and transgendered scouts.
