Here comes the homosexual-oriented merit badges, although I personally fail to see the merit in such a lifestyle.
The Boy Scouts are finished! Circling the drain. However you want to phrase it. It might survive as a “man/boy” organization.
you can’t be a leader without a troop
and ultimately it is up to the parents to choose their son’s troop, based on trusting the troop leadership
or not join BS at all
All it takes is one homosexual Eagle Scout at 17 years and 364 days to then turn 18 and ask to be an adult scout leader. It will happen.
The inclusion of gay leaders will occur the moment the first gay Eagle Scout turns 18 after January 2014 (when the new policy goes into effect). I expect the lawsuit is already being written.
I think the scourt fully intend to allow gay scout leaders they just calculate that if they phase it in like this they will lose less members. They are counting on the frog in the pot of heating water phenomenon.
They can’t. They have been snookered.
All they had to say was NO. It was that easy. I hope the organization has to fold up. What a shame.
The Total Transformation of America, as promised in 2008.
The fathers I've talked to are looking at alternatives, either existing or creating them.
Liberal idiocy. Stevens is a FOOL because he has rejected the objective morality CLEARLY given by God.
That is obvious. If not, there will be a lawsuit.
Another once-great American institution has been destroyed.
Short sighted and naive if BS leadership believed it would stop...the door's been opened. It is just a matter of time before openly gay BS leaders go traipsing off in the woods with your son.
This rule, while it stands, will be on paper only, and will remain on paper only.
Scounts = toast.
And the sad part is that they pushed down the heat lever themselves.
However, the philosophy is there...and the old scouts can start new groups. The libs are soon going to have their very own set of survival troubles after CW-II starts anyway, so the scouts can successfully regroup after things settle down.
I really don’t see how they can. With this half-a-loaf, try-to-please-everyone decision of theirs how can they say that a homosexual can he a scout but not a leader without appearing hypocritical in the extreme? They’ve left themselves open to all sorts of new lawsuits on this one, and I doubt they’ll win them in the future. They’ve killed Scouting. It may take a while for the body to hit the floor but make no mistake. Scouting is dead because of this decision.
Avowed atheists will come next. The BSA will be hollowed out in three years.
