Agirl:   How are things down in California?     I gotta disagree with you on this one.  I personally am against  the BSA and the Catholic Organization because of one thing.  They RAPE and MOLEST young boys, and now they are accepting girls.  You and everybody else knows whats going to happen.   Its gonna BLOW UP.  Example, Bob and Helen's  10 year old  daughter Annie  goes on a 2 day camping trip with her troupe  that is of course chaperoned ,  Annie gets raped.    I  just do NOT understand why anyone would want to be involved with them in anyway shape or form.....

For all the Naysayers out there, sure, there are a few  straight and reputable Scout leaders and Catholic priests, and there are  some people that had a pleasant experience in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts including myself.  As far as the Catholic school experience, NO.   I attended a large Catholic school grades 9-12.  When I was a freshman I had a Priest TRY to RAPE me.  My father who was a pilot in WW II taught me (cont.)
