“The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

Scout Oath

On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.

Scout Law

A Scout is:
Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful,
Friendly, Courteous, Kind,
Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty,
Brave, Clean, Reverent”

Ahh... Morally straight. Not sure if that meant the same thing 100 years ago.

So if I understand correctly, they want to change morally straight to “Fabulous.”

2 other states are also trying to adopt this law.

Do you know which two?

A boy doesn’t have the skills to know whether he is gay or not . . .

Exactly correct. The best an adult recruiter can hope for is to confuse him about his sexuality, then lead him step by step into deviancy.

Boy Scouts provided an avenue to turn young boys into young men by teaching them useful skills which didn't delve into sexuality issues other than the "morally straight" part of the scout code. An avenue which, unfortunately, has just been narrowed by this compromise with evil.

Once upon a time, as a scout leader, I had one boy announce he was gay for exactly the reason you mentioned. I made the comment that he would do his body far less damage if he took up bathing in septic tanks. He laughed, told me he just wanted to see my reaction, and never brought the topic up again.

“causing conservatives to abandon the organization. This leaves it in the hands of the radicals”

If this would have happened back when I was a scout, we would not have abandoned the organization. We would have created a climate where the gay scouts would want to abandon, if you get my drift.

" A boy doesn't have the skills to know whether he is gay or not."

Exactly correct. That is why scouting serves as a recruiting ground. Their motto has been "in by 8 or its too late." Sick......

A much better tactic than abandoning the organization to libtards, if you get my drift.

Guerrilla warfare is what troops need to pursue now to prevent wholesale destruction of a once fine organization. Announce that gay scouts are welcome to join, but they still have to keep the "morally straight" part of the scout oath, same as anyone else. Just as a heterosexual youth can't tent up with his girlfriend, neither can a homosexual youth do the same with his boy friend. And since no boy in their right mind would want to share a tent with a self-declared rump ranger, this will mean that he'll be camping alone.

What blew my mind was the mormon church - which has nearly 30% of all chartered troops is just fine with this.

The same church that was behind Prop 8 in Califlower.

So, Gay marriage bad, gay kids OK?

I think they lost their bible or whatever....

From the bottom of that NY Times article:

“Similar bills have been introduced in New Jersey and Massachusetts, according to Wayne Besen, executive director of Truth Wins Out, a gay rights group based in Vermont.”

From the article:
So pro-Homosexual Leaders in the Boy Scouts Of America don't believe in fairness or in free speech.

If Boy Scout membership doesn’t decline by at LEAST 30% I’ll be surprised.

Thanks! My guess was Vermont and Massachusetts...I was half-right, although the movement (ick) is based in the Red Mountain state.

Appreciate your help...rather get the info from a Freeper than to click on a New York Times link...

“.....a wholesome and all-American reputation....”

Not anymore, all of that just died.

Today, the Beast has won this battle, he should be pleased.

There is no way in the world that I would have allowed my son to be a part of this demented nonsense. Thank God he is normal and is now a grown man that I, his father, is very proud of.

My feelings about the Mormon church were benign up until this point...explains why Glenn Beck is down with gay marriage...
