I too was an Eagle Scout. Boy Scouts was hugely important to me for my teen years. But no longer.
You know when that stopped? When the BSA started selling off land to fund it's legal fight in the name of bigotry. Donated land, long held as fundamental to the teachings and skills that were a part of scouting, being lost to discriminate against gays, and non Christians.
You can claim that there's no religious bias, and amusingly go on to say that you had three different kinds of Christians in your troop as evidence, but that doesn't change facts. Because of all the lawsuits they've had to define things more clearly and now brag that they even have Jews and Muslims! Yeehaw, that is enlightened! And, the Atheism part - well, the charter says that anything goes, including individually defined spirituality, to which I'll say not believing in sky magic is well defined. But then, my troop was like yours, and every "non-denominational" service we were required to attend had bible readings. But, it is true that they were not as pushy as the Jehovah's Witnesses that knock on my door. Maybe we should call that "institutionalized".
Going to simply dismiss your straw man that all gay men are perceived as pedophiles.
Now, I got a lot out of Scouting. I learned great skills and leadership. I was a counselor for a few years at a leadership camp for older scouts. I gave a huge amount of time to Order of the Arrow. I gained confidence in my ability to do anything in the mountains I would want or need to do. My Eagle Scout project literally changed my life.
But, I see less of that when I look now. I see a lot of lame, half assed Eagle projects. Really, you built a fence around a shed behind your church? That's of great benefit to the community? I see a lot less emphasis on learning survival and wilderness preparedness, and a whole lot more practicing talking points on bigoted rhetoric. You want to pretend that there are people that don't believe in a God, fine, but when you're removing a social outlet and developmental resource from a child simply for having conviction in his own understanding of the universe, you're no longer a great service organization, you're just an individual asshole. Sure, they're within their strictest legal right, and have payed fortunes to defend that, but I refuse to pretend they're a great organization for boys.
You know what is not a compromise? Realizing that a 1911 version of the world isn't the ideal case and perceptions change.
It's been 10 years since Steven Spielberg took a stand, and you're still repeating the bullshit.
