By GARY FIELDS

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A
high-ranking leader with
The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints
said Friday the church
severed its century-long
tie with the Boy Scouts of
America because the or-
ganization made changes
that pushed it away from
the church.
“The reality there is we
didn’t really leave them;
they kind of left us,” said
M. Russell Ballard, a
member of a top governing
panel of the church called
the Quorum of the Twelve
Apostles. “The direction
they were going was not
consistent to what we feel
our youth need to have...to
survive in the world that
lies ahead for them.”
Ballard is in New York
City to lead events with
young adult church mem-
bers and talk about prepa-
rations for the faith’s bi-
centennial next April.
During an interview,
he talked about topics as
diverse as the church’s
support for medical mar-
ijuana, incivility in daily
life and political discord.
The Latter-day Saints
decided in 2018 to cut ties
with the Boy Scouts of
America and begin its own
youth initiative in 2020 af-
ter declining membership
prompted the Boy Scouts
of America to open its
doors to openly gay youth
members and adult volun-
teers as well as girls and
transgender youth.
