(Emphasis mine) I'm quoting myself because I inadvertently deleted part of the oath. It should say: On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country... Sorry 'bout that!

CatherineM Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I raised an Eagle Scout. Went through every step with him. Sewed on merit badges. Practiced knots. Saved the dog after he was used as a victim for first aid practice. Cleaned a lot of wet dirty laundry after camp outs. Boy Scouts were his salvation. It was the only thing he was good at. It was the only place he felt a part of something. I was a Camp Fire Girl. It was special like that for me too. When it changed and they started allowing boys, I had already aged out. Some of the things that we did together, we never could have done had their been boys around. I don't understand why we have destroy things that work. There are lots of things that don't work good that could be improved instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little2add Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Bishop Robert Guglielmone of Charleston, a leading member of the National Catholic Committee on Scouting, had recommended “cautious optimism” towards that policy change, voicing hope that Catholic churches could still use Boy Scouts of America programs in a way consistent with Church teaching. He said Catholic-chartered scouting units are “the only way we can have a direct influence” on Catholic youth involved in scouting. i tend to agree with his holiness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papist Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I am surprised it is not open to girls and just called Scouts of America. BSA is sooo patriarchal and misogynist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little2add Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) if a female was to transgender would he or she become patriarchal and misogynist or was he or she have been born that way?

No. Being transgender gives you an exemption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
