The Boy Scouts are considering this???
In 1972, there was a gay scoutmaster in my home town who molested a kid. I had heard about it and reported it to my Mom. She was in shock and had me repeat this.
She told my Dad and within 2 days, State troopers were at my house asking me to repeat this, along with the kids father.
The young boy was spared a trial, facing the scoutmaster, and the scoutmaster was forced to resign or face charges.
Is this is true, that the Boy Scouts are going to let homosexual men or boys in troops, then every American must leave the Boy Scouts immediately, for more molestations will occur.
this will dry up support and money.
homosexual may give money as a way of recruiting but the damage will be done beyond repair. this will become the new whats-his-name youth. (think ww II)
Was in the boy scouts around the time also, similar thing. Scoutmaster was accused, prosecuted and went to jail.
Epilogue: Many years later, I read a book about seasoned cops and their stories. One particular cop who caught pedophiles, likened to Law and Order SVU, made some profound comments on these pervs that changed my way of thinking. First the pedophiles decide at a very young age that they like young people. There, er, feelings, are significant enough that they make career decisions based on their perversions. So they gravitate to where they can be around their young prey and, importantly, in authority. Thus, they gravitate to the obvious positions of priest, preacher, youth minister, teacher, coach and of course, scoutmasters. So, the unsuspecting parents and kids do not realize that the creep they are talking to has spent years (decades) positioning himself as a spider builds a web.
The cop went on to say (paraphrase) these creeps are masters of disguise and deception. For instance, they may be married and have kids. They are very patient. It could take months or years to actually perpatrate their crime on one individual.
And usually...get this...they are very cool, as in hip and with-the-times. The cop said that upon getting arrested, the people who know these clowns are suprised and even deny that the perv could have possibly done these horrible things. "He is just so good with kids". "He would never hurt my boy". "He is such a big brother to my son".
My point is that even today, I am eyeing coaches, teachers, youth pastors who are just too cool. Who have all the latest kid gadgets, xbox, smart phones, hot cars, etc. Who love to help the single mom with her "troubled" boy. Who does not seem to have any friends except his mother.
