I’ll bet my right boob that the next step will be someone suing to make them get rid of the word “Boy” from their name. Watch and see.

Why do you think the homosexuals wanted to be a part of the Boy Scouts, so badly?!?

Guess letting homosexuals wasn’t such a smart move. So who would want their daughters in such a PC organization?

Will they start pushing the abortion agenda in boy scouts too now? They already push it in girl scouts.

We did that when I was a former BS. Raided the other girl scout camps, got reprimanded and screamed at by our scout master but it was all good fun. I wouldn’t want my nephew around this fag organization now.

Growing up I was in Indian Princesses (a father/daughter organization where we even *gasp* went on camping trips together).

No doubt they are out of existence now for both the Indian part and the Princess part (or boys are considered princesses too).

On the news, it was reported that membership in the Boy Scouts has been declining. Gee, I wonder why?
