Familiar with the bible any? He is my strength? By my God I can scale a wall? Etc? Lay yourself on the Lord in truth instead of in some self flattering feigned salute, and you WILL get infused with His spirit.

Maybe I'm just being too linear in my thinking. My thoughts are that ...

1. They have to re-print the new membership registration forms.

2. Edit the Guide to Safe Scouting.

Of course, so much of this stuff is digital these days and available on council web-sites.

3. Do you suppose there are some liability insurance contracts that have to be re-negotiated?

4. To paraphrase Distinguished Eagle Scout and former SoS Donald Rumsfeld, "There must be some other known unknowns."

I completely agree with that assessment. I was merely pointing out on the other side of that issue, the one attempting to help lead but realizing that there are people who hold a dim view of those in positions of leadership with no kids in the troop or no kids at all. It’s a very different BSA than I knew.

Familiar with the bible any?

Can you cite chapter and verse which says that Jesus is anyone's "chops"?

He is my strength? By my God I can scale a wall? Etc?

If I recall correctly you said "Well my chops are Jesus Christ," not "He is my strength," not "By my God I can scale a wall," or "Etc."

Lay yourself on the Lord in truth instead of in some self flattering feigned salute, and you WILL get infused with His spirit.

Look me up sometime when you actually become more familiar with what the Bible says, and can bring yourself to quote your own postings accurately.

By the way, the discussion you joined was about gay infiltration of the Boy Scouts, and some newbie trying to blame Eagle Scouts for it. Might want to try harder to stay on topic.

Noli requiescere in pace, Boy Scouts. Your leadership in now knowingly guilty of child abuse.

“Courts and legislatures are ram jamming this stuff yet only two states: MD and WA actually put gay marriage out to a vote where the populace voted to approve state sanctioned abomination...”

The trend isn’t good, in my opinion. Maine also voted in ‘gay marriage’, as well as Minnesota rejecting a pro-marriage amendment. CA’s Prop. 22 passed by 61% in 2000 and Prop. 8 only passed by 52% in 2008, that’s losing 9% in 8 years. NC voted in theirs by 61% last year, basically tying the CA of 12 years before, something that would have made folks call you nuts if you would have told them that in 2000. All the states around NC passed their amendments by 75%+ except VA (57% in 2006) at least 6 years ago.

As far as the boy scouts, to my understanding it was 61% -39% from 1400 ‘boy scout leaders.’ I would love to know what region of the country has the highest % of delegates. In any case, it is the boys scouts, not a good sign in my opinion.
