Another positive step in the right direction for an organization rife with brokenness. There’s a lot I don’t like about the organization, but this is something a love–a scouting organization open to young women and the lgbtq community. The next step is being inclusive of nonreligious agnostic and atheist youth and leaders. As well as ending the cultural appropriation of Native American peoples.
May this organization continue to build up youth, never allow further violence against youth, and make amends for all the wrongs. There’s a lot of good that comes out of organizations like this and I won’t discount it even though it’s riddled with a dark history.
You’re saying you believe the organization was founded on the principle of seeking out youth for the purpose of abuse?
and learning from the Catholic church how to protect and hide abusers
There’s no denying what has happened and what continues to happen in this organization and other organizations for youth (including religious groups). The wickedness of humans cannot be escaped.
My hope is that such organizations may continue to exist for all the good they do and that efforts to prevent and address the deep sickness will prevail.
