Boy Scouts Today: a response to a Facebook thread

Alright, having been in the Boy Scouts for a number of years, I think I might want/feel the need to weigh in. One, like Coulombe mentioned, the Scouts were founded on a set of principles that date back to the early 1900's. Lord Baden Powell started the Scouts quite by accident, really... Thee first Scout handbook was based on a military training manual. Gee, you don't really see the Scouts promoting that, do you? A lot of youth organizations were using a Scouting manual (btw written for scouts in the military, nowadays known as reconnaissance troops or even snipers). B-P came home from the Boer wars in Africa to find that the manual he had written was popular with youth groups of the time. So, to help with that, he re-wrote it to better fit the youth readership he was getting.This started a Movement, better known as Scouting. Over the years, the scouting movement has deviated from its original aim, which was shaping young men into model citizens of a decent society. Instead, the scouts have basically come to be an organization that teaches the value of conformity, rolling over to play dead instead of standing up for something they believe. So Spencer Biggio, you talk about judgement and condemnation... Where does it say that we HAVE to accept something we don't believe in? We are not necessarily condemning the person, just the act, which (btw) isn't even allowed anyways? (I do believe there is a clause about public displays of affection at scouting events). Either way,I ask again, why do we have to ACCEPT something that we don't believe in? If it is for the sake of political correctness? Is there a legitimate reason why we should have to change our views just because someone disagrees? Where is the freedom in that? I know that I agree with a few things that are against the law, but I know those things are gonna take a long damn time to change. Why the forced change now? So, until you come up with a reason that does not include "changing times" or "politically correct", I will continue to believe what I do, and guess what... I will continue to support the scouts if they do so as well! Of course,that does not seem to be happening... So, in the meantime, maybe I will start my own organization. Not sure what I would call it, but the main purpose would be the foundation of a youth (boy and girl), that can defend itself and the state it is apart of, and stand up for what it believes, not matter what!
