Why do Boy Scouts hate trees?

It’s because they like the the green of cash that clearcutting Scout-owned woods brings. Or, the green of cash from selling lands that had been deeded to Scouts as camp sites, to clear-cutting logging companies.

Boy Scout executives say they have to do this because they’re losing money by banning gays and atheists from Scouting.

The story details how some logging has disturbed preserved natural areas next to Scout lands.

Anyway, Scouts continue to move more and more away from a nature focus, so it’s probably not so unexpected that leaders don’t care.
