It’s a sad and sordid story, the fall of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA).
The Scouting movement was founded by Englishman Robert Baden-Powell in 1907. He described it as “Christianity applied”, a phrase later conspicuously reappropriated to Theonomy. And Baden-Powell’s first Scouting Handbook stated uncannily, “No man is good unless he believes in God and obeys His laws.” Typical of our institutions, the Boy Scouts began as a self-consciously Christian enterprise.
