Boy Scouts of America Joins Catholic Church in Child Molestation Hall of Shame

I still support the boy scouts. A bad apple doesn't make a bad tree. I loved the scouts and would support a future son joining the organization.

1,000 out of 2,832,636 youth.... thats not a very high number.

Suspected perversion? I just wonder what they even means.

This is the link with the information and devoid of the commentary. Its actual journalism rather than sensationalism.

Absent the god thing, their oath sounds pretty damn good:

On my honor, I will do my best

To do my duty to God and my country;

To obey the Scout Law;

To help other people at all times;

To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight

Scout law:

A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. The original version by Lord Baden-Powell had only 10 points to the Scout Law (the last two of the BSA version were added).

Also a pretty damn good rule to live by..

I'm not Catholic but I was in scouts. I loved it. There were some hijinks at camping weekends and jamborees but nothing sexual. One thing I'll always remember is a jamboree in the sixties where some international groups attended. This was a mixed jamboree. Both guides and scouts. The German girls changed right out in the open. I'd never seen anything like it. I am eternally grateful but that hardly qualifies as sexual abuse.

What the hell has this got to do with men's rights?
