A bankruptcy filing that could spell the end of the Boy Scouts of America is “imminent,” sources told The Post. Crippled by thousands of child sex-abuse claims in multiple states—and with more victims coming forward every day—the bankruptcy case could reach into the “billions,” said one lawyer who represents 1,800 men who allege they were molested as scouts. The filing, expected in Delaware, could come any day or in the next couple of weeks, sources said.(Snip) Any bankruptcy by the Boy Scouts would be “historic” given the breadth of the organization. It is active in every state and territory,

T Rex & the then EY chairman did a grwat job destroying a 90 year old institution. BSA even had a SCOTUS win in their rucksack to do whatever they wanted to do before their ‘Leadership’ destroyed the institution on the gay/Marxist altar of ‘Progress’.

The Boy Scouts are bankrupt because the embraced progressivism. Now nobody knows who they are, and neither do they.

Anyone with a brain could have predicted what was going to happen once the BSA head honchos surrendered to the gay mafia. It's why this Eagle Scout quit donating several years ago after a couple of decades of being a loyal contributor. Obviously I wasn't alone. Durned if my money was going to go to pay off molestation claims.

Well done, progressives. You can now go celebrate the destruction of another great institution that stood for all that was decent and honorable. Clever idea to allow gay scoutmasters. You had to know the risk, so I assume this was deliberate.

Shame. I was in several troops growing up and never even a hint of impropriety. Most of our leaders had their own kids in the troop.
Of course, that was all before they became the gay scouts.

A number of adult men let a great number of boys down.
My husband was a Scout. No homosexuality. My sons were scouts. Ditto. My grandson earned Eagle Scout, was honored by his whole community, and his Dad, my son, accompanied his troop on many outings. The scoutmaster was an admirable member of the community. No homosexuality.
For some bad apples to have ended up disgracing an entire youth organization is unbelievably sad.

Tell me, is there no such thing as a good person?
Is there no one who can look after their charges with moral intactness?
Don't they realize the precious souls they are injuring for a moment's vile indulgence? What the hell!
Bankruptcy of the spirit is the precursor of the financial reckoning.
These kids just wanted to learn how to make a fire with a couple of sticks -- how much should that cost?

As soon as I read that Rex Tillerson had lobbied to allow gays in the BSA, I knew he was a bad choice for the Trump Administration. Thankfully, Trump sent him packing pretty quickly.

Destroyed by couple of weirdos. It's always that small number of "special interest" minority groups. Whatever happened to "Majority Rules"?

1800 cases just now surfacing? While without doubt child abuse has happened this is the deliberate destruction of an organization dedicated to training boys to become young men.

Title nine is not only eliminating men's sports in colleges, it's now eliminating a boys only organization. These lawsuits against the Boy Scouts are mostly made up meant to do exactly what is happening. Bankruptcy. The beating down of anything for boys starts in grade school, and continues into every part of life.

Is no one aware that the Boy Scouts have been America’s best source of eventual very successful military leadership? Perhaps this is best example of the power of our globalist elite destroying our will and capacity to resist.
At what cost our helping the gay minority “feel more welcome”? Are we still sucking-up to the gay lobby and their destruction of our society’s norms and cultural achievements over marginal deviant behavior? At what cost to society their comfort and perversions? Is this also the eventual mirror-image of our Christianity crumbling under the secret Lavender Mafia? Is President Trump our only leader of courage and consequence?

Why were the Scouts against gay scoutmasters? It is politically incorrect to mention that heterosexual men do not lust after boys.

We have been lied to again. We were told the Homosexuals were normal and kid, but now see that homosexuals are mentally ill and engage in perverted sex.

We have happily done our fair share to help bankrupt the BSA ever since they bowed to the demands of the Gay-Stapo!!!!!!
We used to spend so much money buying their popcorn and donating to help them. But not another penny -- ever!!!!!!

Libs destroy everything they touch, the objective being to destroy all institutions except the state. The Boy Scouts is one of the most prominent in the roll of victims.

Meanwhile, Girl Scouts is run by militant lesbians at headquarters who advocate butchering unblorn babies. Do not be deceived by the cute little girls with cookies in the supermarket parking lot.

I was a scout leader in The Hague. US Military officers from the US Embassy were encouraged to volunteer to be scout leaders. Our troop was run like the military and we had really great excursions. One I remember was kayaking down the Lisse River in Belgium. It was really a challenge for our Scouts but something we will never forget.

This problem exactly echoes that of the Catholic church. Allowing homosexuals into leadership roles whether scout leaders or priests is a grave mistake. Many people are afraid to call the RC problem one of homosexuals in the clergy. They use the term 'pedophile', but pedophile implies abuse of a young child, when the real problem is abuse of children who are age 11-12 and above. Such abuse is homosexual in nature, as it is a sort of grooming of teenagers. The boy scouts were forced to accept gays into their organization as troop leaders. It is a death sentence for a once great organization.

It’s just sad that the national leadership of the Boy Scouts over decades was so wimpy that they allowed innumerable homosexual pederasts to slide into leadership positions at troop levels all over the country where they were virtually free to molest young boys. Decades ago my son attained the rank of Eagle Scout and the troop where he was a member only had Dads of the boys in the troop as adult leaders and we never had any sort of sexual abuse situation pop up. One time it came to my attention, through adult leadership gossip that an adult leader at a Scout summer camp was suspected of becoming sexual involved with boys. When I went to the Council leadership and reported what I had heard, they did not want to know anything about that! A few weeks later the suspect adult moved out of State and I never heard anymore about his activities. I feel sorry for all the boys who will be missing out on Scouting activities, but not the higher up clueless adult leadership.

Hey. You know what's a good idea? Allowing homosexual scout "masters" to take a bunch of pubescent boys out in the woods and hang out with them all weekend.

For the sake of all those young men who were NOT perverts, nor were being lead by perverts, will lovingly put BSA out of its misery. I will think of those former days as the Former Boy Scouts of America. Give it a firm date of death as of the first payoff they had to make and let it live in memory. {Girl Scouts committed ritual suicide several years ago. All they have left is the cookies and even those are now celebrated on the Food Network}

Add financial to moral bankruptcy. I was in scouting from Cub Scouts to Explorers. Made Life Scout, was tapped for Order of the Arrow and just missed Eagle. What a sad demise of a proud institution, sacrificed on the altar of "gay rights". Baden Powell is rolling in his grave.....

While I’ve no doubt that are boy scout victims of sexual abuse there is now also a huge gravy train of people who want in on the payday. This is how it works now.

The LDS church is trying to regenerate their own youth organizations after breaking with the Boy Scouts of America. The reason they can do this is that they will be a faith based organization and protected by the First Amendment against government power. This was the original mistake that lead to the demise of BSA which could be coerced into accepting political pressure as a "public" accommodation. BSA was originally a church affiliated institution but lost its Constitutional protections when they dropped God from their membership roles.

Any organization with young boys is going to attract homosexual men like flies to honey. The Scouts tried to weed them out since they were getting sued because of these ‘chickenhawks’ (Street slang for gays sexually obsessed with boys and young men). Then they decided to go ‘woke’ and accept gay men as scoutmasters. That worked out well and a one time great organization is ruined and bankrupt.

I have read all the replies here, so sad and sickening. While reading these I was trying to think of organizations for kids that are still wholesome.
In our area, and most Midwestern states, 4-H clubs are still numerous and seem to be good places for kids to learn. I was in 4-H as were my daughters and grandkids. I have never heard of any such shenanigans going on in 4-H and I hope I never do. We have had good club leaders from all walks of life, the clubs used to be mostly farm kids, but now, there are many town and city kids involved. It's a good experience for all I think.
Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Note from the article that these outrages go back to 1944. It didn't start with Rex Tillerson, although he contributed to it.
Also significant: A friend of mine in college (1964-68) told me he quit the Scouts when he was about eleven because of all the perverted stuff that went on in his troop. That was in San Mateo County, California -- just south of San Francisco -- so it shouldn't be a huge surprise that the rot was already there 60 years ago.

I know several fine young men who are gay. Several of them are great athletes. I had two great teachers, during the 60’s, who we all knew to be a gay couple but it didn’t affect their command of the classroom. Denying gays any role in young people’s lives seems a waste. Yet you can’t ignore facts either. Vigilance and strict guidelines might avoid situations.

It's a shame. Especially in a culture where there are more single mothers with boys than ever before. The adults who made this happen and the adults who let it happen are truly horrible people. I hope they get the kind of justice they deserve.

@#38- I think the main difference would be that 4-H has more direct parental control involved whereas BSA usually entails many activities in more remote areas -both close as well as away from parental observation.
This from a former scout ,son of a scoutmaster and voucher for Eagle Scouts .

The great hero Rex Tillerson stepped on the gas when he allowed open homosexuals into the ranks. Undermining faith-based organizations and normalizing homosexuality is a stated goal of the Marxists operating in the USA, and they've made remarkable progress over the past few decades.
