Letters: Scouting regrets

Re “Scouts fought background screening,” Dec. 2

How sad to see the Boy Scouts of America join the Roman Catholic Church as an organization professing good while shielding evil.

I am an Eagle Scout and the father of an Eagle Scout. If I’d known 20 years ago what your articles have uncovered, I wouldn’t have allowed any of my children to join this dangerously hypocritical organization. I should have resigned as well.
