The Boy Scouts will likely have the same experience as the ELCA Lutherans did when they opened their clergy to the openly gay. The gay clergy issue fractured the denomination with many congregations breaking away and others so divided that donations dropped. I expect that many Boy Scout troops will break away to form their own gay free groups and overall participation and donations to scouting will drop.
I was thinking about it and I came up with the same analogy. It’s better than nothing, but it’s still a shame that the word ‘boy scout’ will mean different things, but maybe they won’t even get to keep the term eventually.
If there is a chick fil a type movement it might not happen. But the thing is if there is enough big business money that type of thing might not fly in this case.
