If adopted by the organization’s board of directors, I will quit as an adult volunteer and I will forbid my Grandson from ever Joining.

I find this very disturbing.

You are reading too much into this. National is saying that they will bow out of this and leave it to the local councils to decide what they want to do. For 99% of the country this would mean no change to the eligibility requirements for scout leadership. They also specify that charter partners have a say so too can you see LDS or Catholic church agreeing to this? Now a few local councils San Fran and Mass come to mind may chose to allow gay scout leaders. We will see where that road takes them. As conservatives do we not always preach that the level closest to the people should make the local calls. This is BSA national in Texas saying OK you out there in scout land make your own decision. National is about the $ and always has been.

I donated a few $$$ for 2012 but they will see nothing in 2013 if they do this.

I am glad I became an Eagle Scout at a time when it still meant something.

It appears this might be to leave the matter up to individual councils in order to deflect the homonazis assault on the national organization. All that will do is place individual councils and troops on the front line.

It might behoove all who care about the organization to examine how directors are selected, and replace the offending members of that board.

For that matter, any who so much as waver should be strongly considered for removal. In this instance, leadership begins at the top as well.
