It's not the fault of the kids themselves. Most are too young to understand the implications of the Boy Scouts of America's despicable policies. No, it's the fault of the adults at the top of the organization.
I stopped supporting the Boy Scouts years ago when I learned of their policies of discrimination against gays and the non-religious.
As a private organization, they can choose their membership however they see fit, but I won't donate to that kind of cause. And neither will the tax payers of Philadelphia.
But apparently discrimination isn't the only right-wing value that the club supports. They're now actively trashing our forests. The group formerly renowned for being good conservationists is now becoming known for choosing financial profits over the environment.
According to Hearst Newspapers, a recent investigation uncovered dozens of cases in which the Boy Scouts "ordered the logging of prime woodlands [that had been donated to them] or sold them to big timber interests and developers, turning quick money instead of seeking ways to save the trees."
These are the "values" they are teaching our young boys.
I wonder if they have some new badges to go along with these new "skills".
