Go to BSA web site and submit a letter - I did:

Hello,

I am writing in absolute disgust to hear that the BSA is actually considering reversing its ban on homosexual leaders enlisting and stands against homosexual behavior. Are you out of your minds? This decision will be catastrophic if it is allowed to be implemented. I have two boys in the cub scouts currently, and one them (may) become a boy scout this year. We were starting to decide on a local troop for him, but if this policy goes through, my decision will be an easy one. Absolutely no way will I ever allow my sons to be at risk on camping trips and scouting activities, knowing that potential predators are now welcome to serve as their leaders. I was already a bit uncomfortable with the fact that he would be on trips without my supervision. But this will make it impossible to approve. As we have seen with the recent Church scandals, there is no one you can completely trust with your young boys. But to actually invite this into your organization, is irresponsible and dangerous! It will be the end of the Boy Scouts and certainly the end of mine and my sons’ involvement and contributions. So very sad to hear this and I hope and pray that this will not happen. The BSA is one fo the last holdouts for moral decency in America. A place where boys learn to be moral men, which our country so desperately needs more of in these troubling times. To sacrifice our beliefs and truth for political and/or financial gain is in itself morally reprehensible. Please consider the repercussions that will surely come with proposed policy change. I do not want to pull my boys out of scouting anytime soon, but this leaves me absolutely no choice.
