There's a surprising amount of support for diddling little boys in this thread.

I was in the Scouts but there was nothing really to do with yourself in the 70s. Today kids would rather hit progressions on a video game than earning and upgrading their badge collection. Or go outside. No offense to gamers at all -- just like newspapers can't compete with the web I can see how the Scouts had trouble keeping kids who are used to dropping nukes on battlefields interested in learning how to start a campfire. |

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. |

A minutely small percentage caused the lawsuits. They are victims of shtbag people that abused a fine organization that did good for decades.

If an organization can't learn how to get smaller as well as get larger, they're hosed.
Getting smaller doesn't fly with alum, though. So they die. The BSA had it's heyday while americans were still largely composed of "joiners". Elk's club, PTA, City Council, Church groups, Masons, Fraternities/Sororities, etc. There was a steady stream of people who not only wanted "in", but ever after a steady stream of volunteers and "leadership" reveling in the good ol days and the traditions and pomp and the all the moral aspects woven in. We're no longer a "joiner" society. So all those organizations, plus any that were just riding the coattails of the joiner wave are having trouble. This goes for so many club-type of orgs. Everything from model railroading clubs to old tool collecting orgs. They're for the most part getting older, not replenishing the membership, and largely baffled. To be fair, they are often equally baffled by google groups, web pages, GroupMe conversations, and so much more. They come to the fork where they change their ways, or just ride it to the end. Old guys aren't fond of changing their ways, so it's a case by case basis as to what they do. They are SO unfond of changing their ways, that the thought of not being able to continue bothers them LESS than the hassle of doing things differently. Hardly any of the youth want to "work their way to the top" of those orgs, and nobody dreams of being president of it. Meanwhile current leadership often has a "already paid my dues, someone else needs to step up" mentality, but they want it done the old way. The younger guys are not loyal to brands and orgs, but causes and people, so they're just as soon start their own group (or 12) rather than battle it out with old guys who won't use their phones. Interesting times, these. Last edited by Groves; 12-13-2018 at 05:54 PM.. Reason: spelling |
