BOYSTOWN — Two months after the Boy Scouts of America lifted the ban on openly gay parents and adult leaders, the Center on Halsted is poised to become the first LGBTQ community center to partner with the organization.

The center, 3656 N. Halsted St., is now looking for Scout leaders and mentors for a Boy Scout pack for first- through fifth-grade students. A Girl Scout troop has been stationed at the center for three years.

As the chartered organization, Center on Halsted will facilitate programming and leadership. New scouts will likely be a mix of people "drawn here because of proximity and people intentionally seeking it out" for the LGBTQ representation, center spokesman Peter Johnson said.

Incredible, the perverts have won. Now they're openly going after the kids.

"I don't think there should be a Boy Scouts and a Girl Scouts. There should just be Scouts," she said.

Hmmm, how'd this work out in our Military?

[PROCON]

Pingy.

So much for not bringing sexuality into the organization, as the “leaders” claim they aren’t. This is not going to end well.

[silverleaf]

Actually that’s how it is in most countries except for the U.S.
More UK girls are “ scouts” than girl guides
It works fine for them

"The center, 3656 N. Halsted St., is now looking for Scout leaders and mentors for a Boy Scout pack for first- through fifth-grade students."

I'll bet they get more "mentors" than they get scouts.

[silverleaf]

This is totally sexualizing those children
But then they already get that at home
it opens up the national organizations to sex assault and molestation lawsuits and destroys its image to a great majority of Amerucans so this little exercise in diversity is gonna cost a bundle

[Gaffer]

Inclusion meaning boys of all races and persuasion shall be buggered? That kind of inclusion?

[fwdude]

The article is shoddily written - no surprise there coming from brain-dead libs.

There are no "boy scout packs," boy scouts form troops and patrols. Packs are for cub scouts.

I can't see what their plans are for Philmont.

Scouting is dead.

Be Scared of Aids = BSA

Now required in all BSA first aid kits:

And perhaps, like our military commanders in Afghanistan, when little boys get raped and tied to their sleeping bags, the scout masters will turn a blind eye!

[miss marmelstein]

Is it fine for them or do you just not know what’s going on because all the bad news is suppressed?

[Irenic]

Then it is not the Boy Scouts. It is something else.

[sharkhawk]

1st to 5th graders, will be cub scouts. The boy scout troops are probably to old for the mentors.

[LumberJack53213]

This is really just a rebranding of NAMBLA. The sickness of our society is quite astounding to witness.

[tumblindice]

In the new Boy Scouts, no child’s behind left.

[MeshugeMikey]

..they were going to: “ facilitate programming”

you dan be darned certain of that!!

[Boogieman]

Ugh, right in the heart of Boystown, the sodomite capital of the Midwest. This is like throwing a steak into the lion’s den.

Try to be a girl scout leader as a man. You are not even allowed to share a tent with your own daughter.
