When did condoms and
alcohol befit Scout event
If you think the Boy Scouts of America are what you remember, boy, are you going to be surprised.
You might remember the Boy Scout Oath: “On my honor I will do my best To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law. To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.”
So, you had better “be prepared” to learn:
Ever since The Boy Scouts made the untenable decisions to allow homosexuals to be troop leaders, to admit transgender “boys” (biological females) into their ranks and finally, to admit all girls into the organization, the BSA has just been going downhill into the morass of sexual immorality.
At the recent quadrennial World Scout Jamboree event held in West Virginia, attendees and guests had access to condoms. Seriously!
According to The Washington Times, The World Organization of Scouting Movement handbook requires the host organization to “ensure that condoms are readily and easily accessible for all participants and [International Service Team staff] at a number of locations on the site.”
Are all attendees of the world’s biggest BSA event, which is geared toward children and teens, expecting to have unplanned sexual encounters? What on earth?
As if that wasn’t bad enough, the Florida Family Policy Council (FLF) reported at the time that the World Jamboree guidelines also have “exceptions,” allowances, and instructions for the consumption of alcohol in “confined areas” at the event.
So, let’s get this straight: we have adults, including homosexual men, children of both genders which could include any of the myriad invented “gender identities,” and they want to throw alcohol into the mix.
Parents, the time has long since passed for making excuses to keep our kids in these morally-bankrupt scouting organizations.
Thankfully, alternatives like Heritage Girls and Trail Life USA are ready, willing and able to welcome those who still wish to raise their children with a strong moral backbone.
