They are afraid of the two instigators on the BOD.

Those two need to resign and pressure needs to be put on them to resign BEFORE may.

One of them, I believe, is in line to be the leader next.

This has been the MO of the left as far back as I can remember. They infiltrate the leadership of an organization then once they have the votes they take over. They rely upon the vast majority of the people not having the time to serve on obscure boards.

This is exactly how they infiltrated the APA (American Psychological Association) and then simply declared their deviant sexual lifestyle sane and perfectly normal.

They also are facing pressure from a number of companies who are willing to withdraw financial support in the event they don't allow gays.

I think it would be a good idea if there was a grassroots movement that could potentially reassure the BSA leadership that the groundswell of support for traditional Scouting would more than make up the lost revenue... or at the very least, make it less expensive to do the right thing.

Well, maybe the two “instigators” need to sign a joint-and-several guarantee to reimburse the BSOA for any financial costs arising from the sexual abuse of scouts by predatory gay ‘leaders’ if the change in policy the instigators are promoting is made.

They say that the cost to Penn State of “coach” Sandusky’s frolicking with young boys was about $100 million.

And they say the cost to the Catholic Church to compensate the young boys victimized by a few perverted “priests” exceeded $3 billion. $3 BILLION!

So I wonder. Do those two “instigators” have a combined net worth in excess of $3 billion?

If so, will they indemnify the BSOA with their personal wealth?

If not, then how much protection would their personal guarantees be worth? Obviously, the BSOA is not as rich as the Catholic Church. Therefore, even with the personal guarantees I suggested, the actions of just a few perverts could push the BSOA into bankruptcy.

I would be surprised if the efforts of those two instigators to push the BSOA into bankruptcy is consistent with their Fiduciary Duty to protect and preserve the BSOA.

The obvious move should be to purge the board leadership of the Gay supporters and announce a policy of not accepting corporate monies. Instead, they should make a direct appeal for folks to make direct contributions of monies to the BSA and not thru their places of employment. The BSA fears the loss of funds more than the loss of moral posture. They took corporate monies and they became slaves to the corporations’ political whims!

If its become about the fear of a loss of corporate funding, then the BSA might as well close up shop!
