Mormon Church Ends Century-Old Partnership With Boy Scouts of America

The Mormon Church and the Boy Scouts of America formed a partnership 105 years ago based on shared beliefs in God, country and the necessity of teaching morals and responsibility to boys. The groups became so intertwined that one of every five Boy Scouts in the United States is Mormon, and all Mormon boys were expected to participate in scouting.

Now that arrangement is coming to an end. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said Tuesday that it was severing ties with the Boy Scouts and would design its own youth programs that could be implemented in its congregations around the world.

You should not need an explanation. You know exactly what evil is happening in the Boy Scouts. Sodomy. Trabsexuals. Etc.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! A catholic on a high horse about SODOMY! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

You have no idea what you're talking about. Had the Church put in place the extensive BSA rules about adults NEVER being alone with children they would have avoided their child raping priest shitshow.

Fucking moron,

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is one of the largest youth organizations in the United States, with 2.7 million youth members and over 1 million adult volunteers.[1]

There were nearly 2,000 reported cases of abuse within the Boy Scouts of America prior to 1994, and at least one abuse incident as recent as 2006.

Boy Scout leader charged with raping teen Scout

So a 25 year old stat is the reason to abandon the BSA now, long after the problem has been addressed with overwhelming success. Can the RC church say the same? And why stick with them given their extensive history of raping kids and covering it up?

[Okeefenokee]

Again and again, decade after decade, an array of authorities — police chiefs, prosecutors, pastors and local Boy Scout leaders among them — quietly shielded scoutmasters and others accused of molesting children, a newly opened trove of confidential papers shows.

At the time, those authorities justified their actions as necessary to protect the good name and good works of Scouting, a pillar of 20th century America. But as detailed in 14,500 pages of secret "perversion files" released today by order of the Oregon Supreme Court, their maneuvers allowed sexual predators to go free while victims suffered in silence.

The files are a window on a much larger collection of documents the Boy Scouts of America began collecting soon after their founding in 1910. The files, kept at Boy Scout headquarters in Texas, consist of memos from local and national Scout executives, handwritten letters from victims and their parents and newspaper clippings about legal cases. The files contain details about proven molesters, but also unsubstantiated allegations.

You have not answered the question of why the Church is allowed to clean up and go forward but the BSA should be abandoned depsite cleaning up decades ago? Why not abandon it 25 years ago, instead of now when they are becoming inclusive? Seems choosy.

If the BSA cleans up and goes forward sans the evil, then it wouldn't be a problem.

Decent people are going to stop paying for this.

You need to break apart your "evils". Child molestation by adult leaders? Long gone. My kid couldn't share a tent with his 17 year old buddy once he had turned 18. Tolerance? Tough shit.
