If you didn’t kick the kick-start lever with sufficient “manly force” that big ol’ cylinder would kick back very hard, and it might just throw you over the handle-bars

Here is the translation for those who are not proficient in BS:

“Blah Blah, Gay Love, Blah Blah Blah, we welome NAMBLA. Blah Blah Blah, lawsuit, and blah blah blah, bend over children...”

The BSA will never get another $ from me for ANYTHING. The Girls Scouts and their support of Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry are right there with them (and have supported homos for a long time - and now welcome cross-dressers and boys who self-ID as girls....).

First words out of the leftists after SCOTUS made their decision on the “constitutionality” of homosexual marriage was “It’s now the law!”

Did that with abortion also.

SCOTUS is supposed to uphold the Constitution, not change it to fit the liberal agenda!

Judges don’t make law, legislatures do.

No way can SCOTUS or Fed gov override State Sovereignty.

If the states don’t do it, it ain’t done!

The homosexuals infiltrated the Girl Scouts, now they are trying to insert their sick lifestyle on the Boy Scouts.

This is just moral cowardice on the part of the Scouting leadership. There is no legal reason they can't forbid perverts from being pack leaders.

It's a fine example they're setting for kids: fold up like a camp stool the first time anyone squawks.

Scouting stands for nothing anymore.

Trying? They have succeeded.

I’d suggest you get out ASAP. The sex abuse cases are going to multiply lie lice on a bum. Anybody in a leadership position where that happens will be in the lawyers’ cross hairs, regardless of his individual responsibility. It will be a wild fire, just like the trumped up mass satanic child sex abuse cases of the 1990s, except here the plaintiffs will be able to prove actual complicity by the organization’s top leadership in the face of clear warnings and the disaster suffered by th RC Church when it harbored queers in youth ledership positions. In many cases thosevwho voted to change the policy are likely to be held personally liable for thebtotally foreseeable consequences of the new policy. IOW, right now you’re now in the same position as a golfer in a thunder storm on top of a high hill who’s holding a driver as high in the air as he can.

abuse scandals are

I stepped down as SM earlier this year and now an ASM, but...

I’m currently the Eagle Project Coach for 2 of our Scouts and possibly a 3rd...due to be completed sometime this year. All 3 of these Scouts bridged into the Troop around the same time, and I’m the last leader left of the original group they knew...

In addition, a friend of mine asked me earlier this year to be on his Wood Badge Staff...ends in November...at this stage, I’d be doing him a grave disservice to withdraw.

December 31st will signal the end...the Charter expires then.

Moreover, by embracing the opportunity, the BSA can reduce the level of distraction and continue to focus on its mission of serving youth. Moving toward a policy that accepts and respects different perspectives and beliefs allows religious organizations—based on First Amendment protection of religious freedom—to establish their own standards for adult leaders and will help preserve the Boy Scouts of America for generations to come.

A statement of capitulation via incrementalism and normalization.

In short, the principles on which we were founded have been abandoned by society, so we might as well go along with everybody else.

They talk about the change in the standards but neglect to mention it’s a self inflicted wound.

Yep

It’s pretty clear they don’t have to do it, but if they don’t they will be sued by the homoxexuals and homosexualists and Obama will say they (the sodomites) look like his sons.

The Boy Scouts will not be “preserved,” they will become a playground for the preverts.

I loved those BSA’s and Triumphs back in the day.

Gorgeous Designs. Wish I could have afforded them back then.

Tell me you still own it so I can be full of Jealous Rage.

BSA 63-66. Only one weirdo (Asst Scoutmaster) I didn't trust and steered clear of. Otherwise, some of the best times of growing up.

Though today, if I had a son...NEVER. And if and when that time comes, I would advise against Girl Scouts STRONGLY for my granddaughter.

I was a Scout in the 1960s. I weep for what’s become of them.

Someone please post a list of all the states that voted same sex marriage into law. Until the states do this, it's still ILLEGAL!!

So I took this time and did a bunch of research on this several months ago. If I wasn't on my phone I'd search/find the link, but you should be able to find it in my post history. Decently long post

Scanned your posts, but didn’t see it.

Found this via google:

States with Legal Same-Sex Marriage Prior to the June 26, 2015 Supreme Court Ruling:

8 by State Legislature
Delaware (July 1, 2013), Hawaii (Dec. 2, 2013), Illinois (June 1, 2014), Minnesota (Aug. 1, 2013), New Hampshire (Jan. 1, 2010), New York (July 24, 2011), Rhode Island (Aug. 1, 2013), Vermont (Sep. 1, 2009)

3 by Popular Vote
Maine (Dec. 29, 2012), Maryland (Jan. 1, 2013), Washington (Dec. 9, 2012)

So we have 11 states that lawfully legislated same sex marriage and 39 that did NOT.

The will of the people was overridden in 26 other states via judicial activism prior to the unlawful SCOTUS ruling:

Alabama (Feb. 9, 2015), Alaska (Oct. 17, 2014), Arizona (Oct. 17, 2014), California (June 28, 2013), Colorado (Oct. 7, 2014), Connecticut (Nov. 12, 2008), Florida (Jan. 6, 2015), Idaho (Oct. 13, 2014), Indiana (Oct. 6, 2014), Iowa (Apr. 24, 2009), Kansas (Nov. 12, 2014), Massachusetts (May 17, 2004), Montana (Nov. 19, 2014), Nevada (Oct. 9, 2014), New Jersey (Oct. 21, 2013), New Mexico (Dec. 19, 2013), North Carolina (Oct. 10, 2014), Oklahoma (Oct. 6, 2014), Oregon (May 19, 2014), Pennsylvania (May 20, 2014), South Carolina (Nov. 20, 2014), Utah (Oct. 6, 2014), Virginia (Oct. 6, 2014), West Virginia (Oct. 9, 2014), Wisconsin (Oct. 6, 2014), Wyoming (Oct. 21, 2014)

Same sex marriage is definitely NOT the LAW of the land!

The current ruling is judicial tyranny, not law.

same-sex marriage is not the law of the land

As I understand it, all of those marriage laws have been struck down. So, until those legislatures rewrite those laws, they really have no authority to be using that old law at all.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems to me that they need to do a rewrite.

If it were me, I'd vote not to have licenses at all for anyone. That's 'equal treatment under the law'.

Where does it say that the state is required to issue marriage licenses?

"The only honorable thing for the BSA to do is disband."

I agree.
