Mormon church to cut ties with Boy Scouts and start its own gospel-driven youth program

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is ending its more than century-old relationship with the Boy Scouts of America and will create new youth programs for its members.

The church announced Tuesday evening that it will sever ties with the organization, effective Dec. 31, 2019, according to a news release. The church said it’s making the change to better serve its worldwide congregation.

“As a global church with millions of children and youth, we need to address diverse needs and fortify all children and youth with gospel-centered growth and learning experiences now more than ever,” the church said in a joint statement with the Boy Scouts of America (BSA).

They can have multiple wives but they draw the line at a children's program becoming coed.

All, it just shows how stupid some people like 5:32 AM are!!!!

there are 2 different scouts, and there is nothing wrong with that, why do they need to merge to make atheist or gays or trans or women happy??? You do't hear anyone calling for men to be in the girl scouts do you??? I know I haven't so the answer is NO you don't hear it, and why don't you hear it????

The whole point of this is to turn everything upside down and backwards, something to argue and fight over...

I think other church organizations will break away and from their own scout organizations as a response to the Boy Scouts latest decision.
As an assistant scout master, I was active with my two boys in the Scouts.
It was a great organization that help young boys to become young men.
Many of them didn't have any fathers, so this helped them by having a male role model.
