"William Dickson "W. D." Boyce (June 16, 1858 – June 11, 1929) was an American newspaper man, entrepreneur, magazine publisher, and explorer. He was the founder of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and the short-lived Lone Scouts of America (LSA)."
The context of the article and the use of BSA is in reference to the Boy Scouts of America (which they also specifically mention), and insinuates he started the Boy Scouts of America.

This article is HORRIBLY inaccurate. The founder of the Boy Scouts of America was W.D. Boyce. He was not a pedo.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_D._Boyce (which is common knowledge):
"William Dickson "W. D." Boyce (June 16, 1858 – June 11, 1929) was an American newspaper man, entrepreneur, magazine publisher, and explorer. He was the founder of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and the short-lived Lone Scouts of America (LSA)."

Boyce founded the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Baden-Powell was the British homo who founded the Boy Scouts, which the BSA was modeled after.
The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) was inspired by and modeled on the Boy Scout Association, established by Baden-Powell in Britain in 1908.

"Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scouts Association, which inspired the Boy Scouts of America, may have been a pedophile"
