Boy Scouts to provide condoms at upcoming World Jamboree

Well, MSgt Cayle Harris, RP is behind the times! I don’t see a topic entitled Scouts BSA!

It is sad, those that don’t know history are condemned to repeat it. Hitler promoted sex at his youth camps. I’d parents objected the children would report the parents and the Nazi party officials would pay the parents a visit. The left is destroying what was once a great organization.

I thumbs downed this article because it is very misleading. I would even hazard to say it is fake news. The policy requiring condoms to be available at the World Scout Jamboree comes from the World Organization of the Scout Movement, not Boy Scouts of America. Condoms have been made available at international scouting events since at least 1992.
"For nearly 15 years the policy of the World Organization of the Scout Movement — which is the authority responsible for the World Scout Jamboree — has been to hand out free condoms in the health centres set up for the event, to all participants that may request them.

The fight against AIDS and the resurgence of sexually transmitted illnesses (STIs) prompted WOSM to work closely with UNAIDS, UNICEF, WHO and UNFPA to set up educational programs that, on the one hand, contribute to the emotional and sexual education of young people by integrating the emotional development of young people – whether boys or girls – and, on the other hand, through the prevention of risks linked to sexually transmitted illnesses (see story). The presence of the Scout Movement in many countries affected by STIs has naturally led national Scout organisations to include this problem into their educational programs."
