They're not shutting down because of political correctness. They're not shutting down because of the homosexuals. They're not shutting down because of the girls. They're not really even shutting down because of declining interest.
They're shutting down because scout leaders kept molesting kids. Period.

Makes sense to me.
I didn't join scouts, despite creepy recruiting, because I thought the organizers were gay. Grown men who lived in town getting way too excited about taking a bunch of little boys out in the woods to camp and roast hot dogs was next level NOPE for me. My parents completely understood. 30 years later and it's local public knowledge that my "red flags" were well earned.
Similar situation... I didn't wrestle, despite hard core recruiting, because I thought the organizers were very strange as well. Last thing I wanted to do was roll around on a mat in spandex with another guy while a roided out grown man yelled at us so hard he got a boner and then wanted a hug. I came from a line with several elite level wrestlers, being cousins and uncles, so the recruiting was over the top and my parents finally had to use my exact words and feelings to get the point across. That program is in a local death spiral as well after the top level was finally run out of town admits a pile of rumors years ago.
Both programs gave me the ****ing creeps and I and countless other kids NOPED right the **** out. |
