Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
Boy Scouts settle

Jesus Christ! Is there any institution that deals with kids that is not secretly abusing them?! That number absolutely shocks me, especially as an Eagle Scout and coming from a wonderful troop with great men as leaders. Just sickening.
Only rival is the Catholic Church and they are way ahead of the Boy Scouts.
I know it is just a tiny anecdotal experience, but me and most of my friends were in the Boy Scouts in the early-mid 90s, in a few different troops. All had great experiences.
The head scout master in my troop was a former Navy SEAL and tought us SO much. Tons of awesome camping trips in the NC mountains...we actually had 3 scout masters, none of which had sons, so all were just volunteering through the church to help mentor the young men through the Boy Scouts. 3 of the greatest men in my life growing up, again just shocking to me how many sick fucks were in their positions all over the country, doing unspeakable things.
