Note – I was a Boy Scout growing up and my Dad was the Scoutmaster. I learned more during those years about decency, morality and spirituality than I would have in any other organization. I was part of the Robert E. Lee council which is no longer a name used because of political correctness. It has saddened me greatly to see the work done that actually helped kids turned into yet another left wing politically correct organization by those that wish to pervert America. I am glad there is an alternative and I hope the Christian values are brought back. Lord knows young men need this foundation! I have nothing but contempt for what the Boy Scouts have become and wouldn’t allow my child to participate. – Tom
American Boys Take Trail Life for a Trial Run
Last year, the Boy Scouts made the tragic decision to turn their back on more than 100 years of tradition and allow open homosexuals into their ranks. Now, the organization is facing the consequences. As FRC and others predicted, this reversal of the BSA’s longtime commitment to traditional moral values has led to a growing decline in Scout membership. By their own estimate, Scouting lost six percent — an estimated 160,000 boys and Scout leaders — of their membership in 2013. While we mourn the decline of a great American institution, we celebrate the launch of a new, unashamedly Christian outdoor leadership program for boys and young men, Trail Life USA.
TLUSA started last month with between 500-600 troops nationwide and has already developed into a comprehensive service, skill training, character, and leadership ministry to America’s young boys. To find out about a TLUSA troop near you, or to start one in your community, go to www.TrialLifeUSA.com
