BSA had a choice between an honorable fight and wimping out.
They chose the latter.

[camle]

there should be no room for any kind of sexuality in youth organizations.

[alloysteel]

The BSA shall become but a mere shadow of its former self, as its moral standing is now vastly diminished. A good many of the current sponsors will continue to maintain a cadre of youth who are expected to conform to the former standards of Scouting, but they won’t be called “Boy Scouts of America” any longer. Maybe something like God’s Youth, or Young Pioneers, or even something inspiring like “America Reborn”.

There does exist a parallel organization, called “Camp Fire”, a co-ed organization of youth, which was once known as “Camp Fire Girls”. Different organization than Girl Scouts of America.

This is what I plan to do. I will tell my boys that I want them to take everything they can from Scouting, as my oldest is just starting his Eagle Scout project. But to remember that homosexuality is a sin against God, and is also a filthy dirty life style, un-natural and unhealthy. The fact that some people are addicted to sin and filthy dirty lifestytles, is nothing new.

Enjoy your life and leave room for the hopeless sinners. We can’t save them, and are not called to save them. Pray for any boys you meet who claim to be gay, and have pity on them, as we are called to do.

Understand if others have to leave the organization, because God is sovereign over the Scouts, no matter what it looks like to our Earthly eyes.

Go for the Eagle and don’t let the turkeys get us down. That is all we can do.

Watch the video, at 3:27 the homosexual choir alter the words to the Nation anthem. I can't make out what they said but by having at least one person in BSA uniform on stage holding the American Flag during this is disgusting and unpatriotic. So much for duty to country.

BSA is committing suicide by political correctness.

Even the National Catholic Committee on Scouting has decided to stand with the gays. (see http://www.nccs-bsa.org/index.php). The letter from its chairman is available on the link.

[Neoliberalnot]

Homosexual lawyers and their perverted allies in black-robes are where 98% of the blame rests. The BSA was simply backed into a corner by those that promote the access of male queers, both adult and the young, to young male targets. Sandusky is simply one of the few that got convicted, 99% of them escape reporting and prosecution.

I was a scout. I contribute to scouting. They sold out

No support and no contributions ever-after.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

The United Way largely killed the BSA when they withdrew their funding after the BSA won their supreme court case. I will never give to the United Way and urge others not to support them as well.

This was a letter I wrote to Wayne Brock back when they were considering voting to allow gay leaders in. It still applies to the change in policy to allow openly gay Scouts.

“As a former Cubmaster and Scouting parent, I read with great dismay the letter on your website regarding the proposed change in the policy regarding sexual orientation. This proposed policy claims that Scouting has always been concerned about doing what is best for the young people that you serve. Add my voice to the list of those who will surely tell you in the coming days that a change in this policy will NOT serve those children well.

Your proposal states that “there would no longer be any national policy regarding sexual orientation.” This is false. Currently, the national policy disallows homosexual leaders and members. If you remove the policy, you are in force and effect ALLOWING homosexual leaders and members to participate, so whether the policy is written or not, Scouting will have implemented a policy that reverses course and allows what was previously disallowed.

The culture we live in is groaning with changes, and most of them are not good changes. Our kids are exposed to more sex and violence and swearing and examples of public figures who engage in dishonesty and corruption than at any time in our history, and with the ubiquity of cable television and 24 hour news and entertainment channels, the exposure is constant and nearly inescapable. As Scouting parents, we tell our children that “right” and “wrong” aren’t just words, but concepts that have meaning, and that they have to stand against the tide of change in the world. For over a hundred years, Scouting has been a constant that we could point to. When news of the so-called “controversial” policy would come on television, it always offered an opportunity for parents to answer questions that would be asked, or to ask some questions of our own and offer explanations about why Scouting’s stand in this area is important. For many kids who have non-religious parents, the stand by the Boy Scouts was the ONLY opportunity they might ever have to hear that there were reasons why allowing homosexuals in Scouting was not a good idea. By changing policy, you will be removing that potential for our kids to learn a positive message, and you will, instead, be telling them that in the face of withering criticism from politicians and the pop culture, EVEN SCOUTING will bend with the wind and do what’s popular instead of what’s right. You will, in effect, be endorsing homosexuality as an organization.

Your proposal also states that “BSA members and parents would be able to choose a local unit that best meets the needs of their families.” Will there be an official list available detailing which local organizations allow gay members and leaders? If not, then you’ll be doing a disservice to those who want to continue in Scouting without those influences, and what happens the first time that a local organization that doesn’t want to allow homosexuals is challenged by a family that wants in anyway? If you do provide such a list, however, then you will in fact be endorsing “homosexual-friendly” units, which would clearly mean that Scouting will have become a “homosexual friendly” organization. Again, you can’t claim to not have a national policy, when the lack of a national policy that once existed leads to proliferation and official sanctioning of something that the policy previously banned.

Change this policy at your peril. Doing so will be the first horn sounded on the march towards the death of Scouting as we know it.”

[lavaroise]

History Revisionism and name hijacking: they should not be allowed this since the spirit in the name Boy Scouts definitely was meant to not include homosexuality. How can they steal words and titles and degrade the titles of previous proud generations of Scouts? There is a wiff of treachery in this. The whole thing should be disowned and stripped of its own medals. Some names have meanings, the gays should be honest and rename it the Boy Playmate Playground or something.

[VideoDoctor]

This is just the opening chapter. Sooner or later a family will file the first law suit charging that their son was molested by another scout and that the BSA are RESPONSIBLE.

Obviously this could have, or already has happened prior to the current BSA edict. Now, that they have formally stated it's O.K. with the organization they've opened Pandora's box without any further doubt in regard to legal culpability.

Genesis 13:13

Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

The Southern Baptist Convention will disassociate itself from BSA. All other Bible-believing Christians should do the same. This won’t kill BSA, as the homo-loving organizations that forced this will take up the slack and start funding troops. Wouldn’t be surprised if NAMBLA sponsors some events through shadow organizations - they can’t resist the lure of fresh meat. BSA will therefore devolve into some semblance of GSA - selling their popcorn but standing for nothing.

I for one will buy my popcorn elsewhere. I have also stopped buying girl scout cookies - WalMart sells knockoffs that are way cheaper, taste as good, and don’t support evil.
