The following excerpts are from the article “Your safe, alternate Boy Scout is …” by Matt Barber on the World Net Daily website: … “A brief summary from the new scouting-like organization’s website (TrailLifeUSA.com) reads as follows: ‘Most guys want exciting outdoor adventure with their friends. We’ve got that! Trips and travel? That, too. Camping. Check. Physical and mental challenge? Yep. And awards? Of course!’”

“‘Trail Life USA is a Christian adventure, character and leadership movement for young men. The K-12 program centers on outdoor experiences that build a young man’s skills and allow him to grow on a personal level and as a role model and leader for his peers. Living the Trail Life is a journey established on timeless values derived from the Bible.’”

“Countless men and boys who once called themselves “Boy Scouts” will now proudly bear the title of ‘Trailman.’”

“Back in May, millions of Americans were shocked and saddened when the BSA inexplicably bowed to left-wing political pressure and became something it had never before been: a hyper-politicized, aberrantly sexualized petri dish for social and sexual experimentation.”

“Created in 1910 to ‘prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes,’ the BSA, on May 23, 2013, tragically voted to welcome into its ranks ‘open and avowed’ homosexuality (boy-on-boy sexual attraction and behavior), thereby disavowing the ‘morally straight’ Scout Oath its members have been sworn to uphold for over a century.”

“Even worse, and in so doing, the BSA effectively waived the only legal defense it once had to preclude openly homosexual Scout leaders and gender-confused girls from its ranks: religious and moral conviction. It’s only a matter of time until the BSA is forced to capitulate to sexual extremists’ political demands and allow homosexual adults – men who define their identity based upon carnal appetites for other males – to take your boys on overnight camping trips.”

“Once that happens, Trail Life USA will be the life raft for the multitudes. Those who abandon the fast-sinking BSA ship will have a safe place to land.”
