"Membership for the BSA’s flagship Cub Scouts and Scouts BSA programs dropped from 1.97 million in 2019 to 1.12 million in 2020, a 43% plunge, according to figures provided to The Associated Press. Court records show membership has fallen further since then, to about 762,000."

i saw a bunch of "boy scouts" last week in greenpoint doing something, 100% asian kids and probably 80% girls. dorky old white guy "troop leader" wearing hiking boots, didn't seem like he even had a kid there. weird.

it is wise to remember that a lot of kikery goes into how all of this is spun:
wiki--
The newspaper discovered that 1,151 Scouts reported being abused by their leaders during the studied 19-year period, mostly before the implementation of the Youth Protection Plan. They published a detailed list of 416 cases from 1971–1990 where a US Scout leader was arrested or banned from Scouting for sexual abuse of Scouts, adding that experts said the real number of abusers and victims was probably several times higher. The newspaper articles later formed the basis for a book by the main journalist involved, Patrick Boyle: Scout's Honor: Sexual Abuse in America's Most Trusted Institution.
so even if you multiply that number by 20 you're talking about tiny numbers over millions of scouts. the libs were trying to kill scouting for years and their reporting was designed to poison the well on that. you're more likely to be molested by your uncle than your scoutmaster, etc.
ultimately, they went the route of taking over the institutions instead of attacking from the outside.

the scouting curriculum (minus some fucking dei badge) is the best curriculum that a young man can do. most boys would quite frankly do better spending 2 years doing the scouting curriculum instead of full time hs. going camping once a month (as the curriculum actually advises) and doing 1 long term camp a year is 180.
the shit around it kinda got super corny. i loved my time and i learned more earning my eagle than i did in college.
americans are so over the fucking top is the problem. i hear about all these eagles at 15. like dog, not everything needs to be so OD.
anyways. my advice is get all of the merit badge pamphlets, save all the curricular materials, and teach your kids off of that because institutional scouting is basically doomed. i wonder what happens to all the camps.

i really hope you're buying up the merit badge pamphlets, gentlemen.
scouting will be gone soon.
tragic.

White males should be joining Right Wing Youth Leagues, not the Boy Scouts, which was Jewish controlled long before the 'woke' thing started.
Boys Life magazine was published by Jews.
stop crying, start organizing to take back the country.

Former Eagle scout here. I was a Mormon kid who was basically forced into it by my parents/church community. I had some good experiences, I guess, but I can't say that I feel bad that my kids won't do the same thing. I'm all for exploring nature, but I can do that with day hikes. I don't need to sleep on the ground and shit in a hole. And I feel like 90-95% of the merit badge work I did was just busy work. I'm struggling to think of a single thing I learned as a Scout that I even remember now (much less use in my current life).
However, I do find it bizarre that membership is dropping now that girls are allowed. Going camping with girls as a young teenager was basically my fondest wet dream. I remember they hired a couple female staff at scout camp one year. We used to hide outside the showers every night hoping to catch a peek. (This was in the pre-Internet days, so the closest thing to boobs that any of us had ever seen was the Victoria's secret catalog.) I would have thought that sneaking off into the woods with a girl (or just creeping outside her tent as she changes clothes) would be 180^180 as a 13-year-old boy. Maybe real girls aren't as exciting to today's 13-year-olds who can see boobs any time they want once they are old enough to have a smartphone. Or maybe parents don't love the idea of coed camping trips as much as I would have as a 13-year-old. Who knows?

I enjoyed parts of it as well. I hated the dorky part of it and would never speak of it outside of it. Didn’t like the ceremonies or uniforms either. In high school, conformity was an obsession with me and the site of myself in the uniform filled me with dread.
It did force me to do backpacking and go camping, which I never would have done on my own. Learned to be uncomfortable sleeping in the cold or hot, so that was valuable as well. Had various leadership positions that possibly gave me some confidence to offset the self consciousness that being in it on the first place gave me.
I enjoyed summer camp. Ours was on a lake so we’d go sailboating in small sail boats, which was 180. Kind of amazed they just let 2 kids age 13-14 get on a sailboat and go out into the water alone.

We’d bring them. I remember being embarrassed eating at a Waffle House on the way back from a camping trip wearing my Boy Scout uniform at age 14 or so.
Regardless, what kind of fantasy land are you living in where tens of thousands of attractive 13-18 year old girls are regularly attending “patrol leader councils,” wearing said dorky uniforms to meetings on Monday nights, are participating in the order of the arrow where you dress up like an Indian and dance around (probably racist anyways), earning pointless merit badges to sew on a sash, spending one weekend a month hiking in the woods and learning to either not take a dump all weekend, bury your shit in the woods, or carry it out? That they’d just love to know what happens to tampons in the middle of forest?
Do you think these attractive teenage girls are going to want to be walking around reciting “a scout is trustworthy, loyal, kind...”. Do you think they’re going to want to salute each other with three fingers cocked at their eyebrows?
Like in any time in history, has there ever been a pent up demand for tens of thousands of women in the prime of their lives to dress up in fake military uniforms and go camping? Like the only thing preventing these girls from Doing so was that the Boy Scouts didn’t let them?

but that's entirely the problem.
the fact that nobody wants to be 'trustworthy, loyal, and kind' because it's 'dorky' and they'd rather do nigger-dances on TikTok is THE PROBLEM.
it's depraved, Sodom & Gomorrah shit.

Have The Girl Scouts Changed Since The Boy Scouts Let Girls In? They Haven't.
Even with the Boy Scouts of America accepting girls into all levels of scouting, the Girl Scouts has not seen a significant decline in membership.
Jennifer Bartkowski is the CEO of the Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas. She said the Girl Scouts organization doesn’t see the Boy Scouts of America — or Scouts BSA, as the organization is sometimes called — as competition, because they’re unique programs. She said the most important thing the Girl Scouts offers is a space that’s built by girls, for girls only.
“Girls are in a mixed gender space all of their lives,” Bartkowski said. “There are very few opportunities for girls to be in a single-gender space where they can rely on one another, build relationships with one another, be themselves, not have to compete for space, not have to show off in any kind of different way.”

i'm all over the above thread since i probably have the most institutional knowledge on scouting.
while covid may have hastened the death, it was always coming. the writ large problem was the change of the american family. so many kids either are 1) in single parent households w/multiple children and can't "split the difference" w/r/t having some kids in one thing that the others cant be a part of, 2) or their parents work so much that they can't volunteer, 3) find the values corny. moving scouting to zoom and then cancelling summer camps was just a death sentence.

I mostly hated Scouts. Some random thoughts:
-the masters were the worst part. My dad was involved in coaching sports and shit but never volunteered with scouts except a weekend camping trip or two. Most of the scout masters were absolute fucking losers IRL with some weird power complex who loved the quasi-military structure of it. Several stayed involved well after their kids were 18 and it was super creepy. When I look back on all the men I ever met as a kid in any context, all 10 of the top 10 creepiest were scoutmasters. Even the normal ones seemed to care about nothing besides getting eagle for their kid as if it has meant jack shit since 1990. One of them I barely knew seemed genuinely angry I “said all the right things, but it’s about what you say, not what you do” during my Star rank panel I nevertheless passed (which meant absolutely nothing). I genuinely can’t figure out the psychology of someone like that who would give a shit that some random kid wasn’t super involved in scouts and still met the requirements for some meaningless rank.
-I was from KC and we has this super gay “Indian” tribe called Mic-O-Say. Not flame, the KC Chiefs are named the Chiefs because of this “tribe.” Fortunately I didn’t go to the local summer camp enough years to get pulled into it, but even as a conservahero I thought it was pretty fucked up having to go to ceremonies where a bunch of nerdy white adults played dress up as shirtless Indians and gave all these self-serious speeches about connecting with earth spirits and shit in the most laughably stereotypical Indian shaman cadence.
-the weekly meetings were pointless and my mom made me go to about half of them until I was 15 or so. There were a few solid dudes but most of them were weirdos and it was basically recess for an hour or whatever at some random church.
-high adventure was the only worthwhile part. I did Philmont and Sea Base and while the people sucked, the experiences were pretty cool, especially Philmont. I assume BSA won’t own Philmont for much longer for financial reasons.
