I have a gay kid in my Scout troop although he may have flipped back to hetero.

14 ... This week is really turning out bad.

May the Almighty take pity on you and comfort you. Tough week, indeed. My condolences on the loss of your father.

The older homos will molest the younger ones. If they go homo, pull your boys out of the scouts. They had a nation-wide perv ring operating prior to law suits in the 80’s and these rules banning homos from the scouts.

The homos have been trying ever since to get back in. We had two in our family raped in the scouts in the 60s.

Gay sex has no place in the scouts.

People forget history are doomed to repeat it, and they are repeating it. Homosexuals are mentally deranged and that derangement causes them to also be pedophiles.

I wouldn’t let my child get anywhere near a homosexual in any setting.

I concur with the others. BSA will commit institutional suicide if they change their policy and go along with the winds of the tyranny of political correctness. Our organization is politically incorrect. Deal with it.

Being apart from the rest of the world in its commitment to values is what makes the Scouts what they are. Once they abandon that, they're just another group of the same old same old.

This is disturbing and distressing.

Scout leadership gives in to this then Scouting is done IMO . As a Eagle Scout I enjoyed what scouting taught me. The professional career building skills I learned regarding leadership in scouting carried me through 26 years in the military and the past 19 as a civilian contractor.... Skills refined over the years yet the basics were embedded from tenderfoot to eagle.

Can’t see the leadership allowing such PC immoral change without compromising the Scout Oath at the very least. Doom on the leadership if they do.

Note that the Boy Scout Oath has traditionally been considered to have three promises. Those three promises are delineated by the semicolons in the Oath, which divide it into three clauses. The three promises of the Scout Oath are, therefore:

Duty to God and country,
Duty to other people, and
Duty to self

DUTY TO GOD AND COUNTRY: Your family and religious leaders teach you to know and serve God. By following these teachings, you do your duty to God.

Men and women of the past worked to make America great, and many gave their lives for their country. By being a good family member and a good citizen, by working for your country’s good and obeying its laws, you do your duty to your country. Obeying the Scout Law means living by its 12 points.

DUTY TO OTHER PEOPLE: Many people need help. A cheery smile and a helping hand make life easier for others. By doing a Good Turn daily and helping when you’re needed, you prove yourself a Scout and do your part to make this a better world.

DUTY TO SELF: Keeping yourself physically strong means taking care of your body. Eat the right foods and build your strength. Staying mentally awake means learn all you can, be curious, and ask questions. Being morally straight means to live your life with honesty, to be clean in your speech and actions, and to be a person of strong character.

Morally Straight ......

At this point, we should remember that homosexual scouts and scouts with any number of sexual confusions have always been involved in Scouting. But this new policy relates to openly homosexual youth. Bringing that advocacy within an organization for boys is both unwise and calamitous.

Quite true. Homosexuality is characterized by sexual perversion. Sexual union between same sex couples can only be achieved by deviant and risky behavior resulting in mental and physical health issues, and added costs.

Anyone with significant experience camping and hiking with boys would NEVER allow openly homosexual boys because that would destroy the trek.

Officially endorsing gay scouts would do nothing more than support a transient popular culture that will not endure because it is counter to natural law.

Endorsing a policy contrary to natural law and common sense will only introduce chaos and seal the destruction of a highly successful program. ...very sad indeed.

It is worse than this. Churches will also have to make the decision whether they will continue to sponsor Boy Scout troops. If they allow it, they then run into the potential argument that they must allow other homosexual groups to use their facilities under the non-discrimination and civil rights laws.

Our attorney general and Civil Rights Commission here are already arguing that churches are “public accommodations” and therefore cannot exclude homosexuals from using the church for same-sex ceremonies.

Thus far, churches have opposed under the argument of religious freedom. However, once you permits some homosexual groups to use your facility, it is difficult you cannot be forced to allow all homosexual groups.

My church, which has sponsored a Boy Scout Troup for years, will end their relationship with the BSA if the policy is changed. That’s a shame, but Christians can’t compromise on immorality. The same thing will happen in thousands of churches and parishes all over the country. The end of this great institution is near.

I suspect my church will do the same thing, although we haven’t discussed it on Session yet. But we could not sponsor an organization whose values are counter to Scripture.

I say leave the scouts alone and go start your own organization for gay kids.

That would be the right thing to do, but they are not interested in doing the right thing.

The Boy Scouts is where the $Billions in dollars and real estate are. The gay commies will get all that just by edging in, and running all the Boy Scouts and their parents away.

It has worked like a charm in just about every organized religion in the USA.

The people putting pressure on the Boy Scouts are a small minority. They don’t want to join the scouts or become leaders.

Correct. They are totalitarian perverts, and their goal is to DESTROY the Boy Scouts of Amercia.

A quote from the sci-fi character, Jean Luc Picard.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I will not sacrifice the Enterprise. We’ve made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And *I* will make them pay for what they’ve done.

Last night (Wednesday), we watched the Baltimore 10PM news channel. They covered this story and then presented 3 Tweets — or it may have been emails — from viewers. All 3 comments were pro-homo regarding the BSA. The media are pushing this narrative big time just like they did with redefining “marriage”. Makes me sick.

America will be destroyed by these cancerous growths in our society if we let them attack our vital organs. I say cut out the cancerous gay commies and save the body.

I notice that the homosexuals have gotten the spam/virus software to warn you that the site is “not safe.” I find that happening on more and more pro-family, pro-marriage and Christian websites, if they take a stand against homosexuality and sexual immorality.

Just dropped off two sons at their scout meeting tonight, and on the way home, the news reported the BSA decision on the radio.

I don’t want to have this talk yet with my youngest son, but, for him, I’ll have to look for another organization for young boys. (Just like American Heritage Girls is now an alternative for Girl Scouts, there must be an alternative for boys.)
