The Boy Scouts of America going Belly Up ? (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=319528)

Isn't chapter 11 reorganizing and 7 is folding and completely shutting down?

I would expect chapter 7 from the GSA as they have had a huge flight of girls over to the BSA. Girls want to do all the cool things the boys have been doing for years and the boys just want to stay home ans play video games.

Exactly the case.

For what it’s worth Scouts is doing fine at the grass roots level in KC as far as I can tell. I see the national stories making it sound like the sky is falling but the troop my sons are in does fine. Every campout we attend there are other troops in the area. Big events like Scouting 500 bring out massive crowds still. Boys are still earning Eagle Scout. Life goes on.

Just pointing this out because these national stories and the online discussions I see often paint a doom and gloom picture that doesn’t reflect the reality that my boys and I are experiencing.

Bingo.

I just watched one of my students (Age 14 - Holy ****, right) get sworn in as an Eagle Scout on Monday. The saddest part was how empty the ceremony was.

Kids would LOVE to get involved with things like this today. Hell, I work with them every day. On our adventure days, we can barely find enough adults to serve as proctors for the outdoor activities.

But - the kids aren't the ones making the choices here - it's the parents. This decline started well before the "millennials."

Over the last 3 years, the two of them really bonded over a lot of the MBs (leathering, metal work, etc). And, there are several grandpas that participate with this troop - attend campouts, etc. I'll say that the grandpas are the guys that my son loves hanging out with the most.

And, it's because they actually take the time to teach the boys something and there's just a great bonding that happens between boys 15-18 and grandpas.

I think troops should do more to partner up with local seniors and really share experiences, it's cool.

It's usually not a good idea to draw universal conclusions from individual experience, but I can say this with confidence; the most impressive kids (I've personally known well) grew up around and had meaningful relationships with their grandparents. There's probably a lot of reasons why their influence can have such a positive impact on young people.

Possible Chapter 11? I wonder Why?

Any number of reasons - (1) getting involved in Politics and (2) Boys are no longer interested (for the most part) the outdoors.

if the op had bothered posting a link you guys would know that they are filing for bankruptcy because they have been successfully sued so many times for having pedophile scout leaders.

Goddamn politically correct snowflake illegal immigrant c-u-c-k-s strike again!
Can't even sodomize little boys in this country any more without having your name dragged through the mud.

Yep. SJW ****s that can't stand the reality that some things are just for boys and some things are just for girls and that it is perfectly okay for it to be that way.
