Already starting.

Large corporations and other large donors will be leaving because they want the BSA to "take the next step," and allow homosexual men to be leaders in the Boy Scouts. Putting more and more pressure on them to cave as they just did with homosexual youth.

This was the plan by the progressive left and gay communbity all along.

MY LETTER TO THE BOY SCOUTS OVER THEIR OPENLY GAY YOUTH ADMISSION POLICY

I’ll go ahead and present my resignation’s “attachment”.

“In order to have a rational discussion, fact needs to be separated from conjecture. For this reason, attention must be focused to the politically incorrect fact that homosexuality has never been objectively proven to be a birth trait. Sadly, this point needs to be reiterated, due to the fact that this evidence is continually disregarded. Decades of research and exorbitant funding have been spent searching for any confirmation that homosexuality is a condition that is outside the individual’s ability to control. Testing involving genetics, epigenetics, neurochemistry, etc. have all fallen short. Based on current knowledge, the issue must be concluded that this lifestyle is a chosen behavior. Any attempts to conclude otherwise, is an appeal to emotion instead of reason.

Although the National Boy Scouts of America has attempted to advance this decision as a humanistic endeavor, it is fully understood by the membership that this was for financial reasons. In doing this, our young men will be taught that core principles only matter until the wallet is affected. They will learn that reason and logic must acquiesce to the collective’s emotion. They will learn that through brute force a vast minority (barely touching the third line of standard deviation) can dictate the moralities, principles, and honor of a once great organization.

They will learn that Man’s law is superior to God’s law.

Social media sites are littered with subject lines like:
“Do you remember what life was like when we were kids?”, or
“Do you remember what happened to us when we were disrespectful?”, or
“Can you believe that kids today, behave like this? …. dress like this? …. speak like this? ….”.
Due to political correctness, these same people choose to be oblivious to the change, remain silently ambivalent, or will even take up the mantel of this immoral behavior. They, themselves, may cheer on the very destruction of the life they so cherish. All in fear of what others may think of them.
Cub Scouts teaches a boy how to be a better family member, a better friend, a better sibling. A Webelo Scout learns how to become a better member of the community, a better group participant, a better caretaker of those things outside of his own self-interest. Boy Scouts teach young men to become a better “Man”, a better worker, a better husband, a better father, a shining example of what God and Society expects from a man. A good scout, when adhering to these principles, has learned to stand his ground for what is right and moral. He knows his responsibilities to his wife, children, and his fellow Man.
I was once privileged to sit on a Life Board for a Scout in my son’s early years. The question was given, “Of the Scout Law, which is the most important?”. I was astounded at how tough this question really is and watched the Scout ponder the answer for a few seconds. He looked up and said, “Reverent, because all of the remaining laws fall into place as long as you are reverent to God”. I sat in disbelief that a child of sixteen understood this far better than most people today. Sadly, in retrospect, he understood it better than the Boy Scouts of America and some churches now do.”
