My little Tiger scout just graduated as a Wolf. I might not send him back in the fall.

I'm wrestling with that same decision, myself. I don't see the logic in punishing my son (it's not punishment, but he'd see it that way) because of the actions of an unrelated handful of loudmouthed deviants, clamoring for normalcy.

And, frankly, I'm not too concerned about "gay scouts"...it's the homosexual lobby's desired endgame of "gay scoutmasters" that really concerns me. "Gay Scouts" is just the camel's nose under the tent - that's why I didn't support it.

We're fortunate in that we live in a small, tight-knit, conservative community, so this decision is unlikely to have much of an immediate effect. Next year will be fine, likely the year after as well. Beyond that.......

Some of the other choices that I've considered are getting (more) involved; I don't need to worry about a gay scoutmaster if *I* am the scoutmaster. Also looking into serving on the committee to choose successors, re-organizing the troop, and also dropping Scouts entirely and going to an alternative program.

At this point, I just don't know. I've got the summer to chew it over and look into all the options. I damn the gay lobby, and I hate that I even need to consider something that frankly, 20 years ago, I couldn't have conceived of.
