America’s most iconic youth organizations — the Boy Scouts of America and the Girl Scouts of the USA — have been jolted by unprecedented one-year drops in membership, due partly to the pandemic, and partly to social trends that have been shrinking their ranks for decades.
While both organizations insist they’ll survive, the dramatic declines raise questions about how effectively they’ll be able to carry out their time-honored missions — teaching skills and teamwork, providing outdoor adventure, encouraging community service.
Membership for the BSA’s flagship Cub Scouts and Scouts BSA programs dropped from 1.97 million in 2019 to 1.12 million in 2020, a 43 percent plunge, according to figures provided to The Associated Press. Court records show membership has fallen further since then, to about 762,000.
The Girl Scouts say their youth membership fell by nearly 30 percent, from about 1.4 million in 2019- 2020 to just over 1 million this year.
I hope they dissolve. Get rid of abnormal behavior in these organizations.
Shortage of cookies !!!!! Due to Covid
The WOKE made them go Broke !!!!
Pandemic played a role to be sure. But the underlying message is: Get Woke, Go Broke.
Adult leadership in these groups fell into the hands of activist minded zealots determined to download their views on the kids; more in the case of the girls. Boy Scouts were slammed by lawsuits and decision to let homosexuals be troop leaders; guess where boys were not going to be going? Side effect of Boys opening membership to girls was fewer girls joining the Girls. Many troops were church sponsored and Woke didn’t play well with many congregations. Have 4 nephews; 1 Life & 2 Eagles so have recent info.
Both versions should get back to traditional roles and objectives; they are time-tested and will draw committed parents which is where the kids come from. But they better shake a leg.
Homosexuals sued their way in to access young boys so responsible parents have protected their kids from the sodomites

Girls have a vagina, boys have a penis.
