Boy Scouts of America Votes to Allow Gay Scout Leaders
NBC NEWS ^ | JUL 27 2015, 7:25 PM ET | PETE WILLIAMS

The governing body of the Boy Scouts of America voted Monday to end its decades-long ban on gay scout leaders.

The organization's national executive board, meeting in Texas, concluded that the policy of excluding gay adults "was no longer legally defensible." The decision was approved by 79 percent of the board.

FTA:""But including an exemption for troops sponsored by religious organizations undermines and diminishes the historic nature of today's decision."

Homofascists are not going to stop...BSA was told there is no mollifying those bastards and this statement proves it. They will continue to press against religious institutions.

In 1998, Canadian Scouts (CS) decided to allow females, atheists, agnostics, homosexuals, bisexuals, and transsexuals to join the CS. In 1999, they approved the establishment of an all-homosexual troop, which now marches in Canada’s “gay pride” parades. Within five years, scouting membership dropped over 50 percent, many scouting camps and offices were closed, and staff was laid off.

More importantly is the tragic sexual abuse by leaders in scouting.

Thinking they could become more inclusive, 
the Boy Scouts of Canada Board of Governors decided in November 1998 to admit females, atheists, agnostics, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transsexuals into troops. Despite that established troops were not even allowed to remain all-male groups, Scouts Canada approved the establishment of the world’s first all-homosexual troop in 1999. The troop marches in homosexual pride parades and loudly symbolizes what Scouts Canada calls its commitment to diversity.

Scouts Canada’s new non-discrimination code reads: “Scouting is a worldwide, multicultural movement. We welcome people to membership regardless of gender, race, culture, religious belief, sexual orientation or economic circumstances. Youth members are strongly influenced by the behaviour of adults. We need to be sensitive to the traditions and beliefs of all people and to avoid words or actions which “put down” anybody.”

And so, in its attempt to include everybody and everything, Scouts Canada is effectively dead.

Budgets have run dry. Troop halls and old campsites sit vacant. Professional staff salaries are severed. Membership is mostly decimated. In the past, membership roles consistently exceeded 300,000. Around the peak in 1965, there were 320,000 Boy Scouts. Today, despite a one third population increase in Canada over four decades and a doubling of the demographic possibilities (with female members), Scouts Canada has dwindled to a puny 130,000 and it is rapidly declining.

Open to all, there is a certain liability that accompanies the mixture of sexes and sexual preferences at Scout Camp. It is no coincidence that Scouts Canada’s costs for liability insurance against sexual molestation claims increased dramatically by 2002 when, lacking adequate finances, Scouts Canada canceled its sex abuse insurance, and with it many “high risk” activities. Without the insurance, a single pedophile could potentially annihilate Scouts Canada forever.

Gates is a degenerate scumbag.

How is allowing homosexuals to be scout masters legally defensible when one of them molests a kid?

Here’s a clue, it isn’t.

Have they paid off all the victims yet from the last time that gays were allowed as leaders in the Boy Scouts?

Man, it’d be great to see Donald Trump give up some time at one of his press conferences to have victim after victim of homosexuals stand up and tell their story, and the parents of the children who committed suicide due to their being molested.

All well and good. Now what will they do, when CHRISTIANS start their own version of “BOYS SCOUTS”. That means that there will be fewer and fewer “BOYS” as “SCOUTS”. The money will start drying up. This is what has happened to the “GIRL SCOUTS” when they started promoting different types of “SEXUALITY”. The Christian churches started their own organizations, and the money started drying up.

I’m blessed with a father that decades ago would have been labeled paranoid, but today can be viewed as brilliant; he knew a long time ago that freaks that molest children look for work AROUND CHILDREN. Molester scoutmasters were around fifty years ago (along with molester clergy & educators).

It is not defensible for any parent to let their boy be in the presence of these deviants.

Boy Scouts 1910-2015.

Time for it go into the wastebin of history.

Instead of developing boys, its purpose is now to provide the raw material for the next generation of homosexuals.

RIP Boy Scouts of America. Any parent that continues to let their son be exposed to these degenerates should be charged with child abuse.

We need not wait long for the inevitable sex abuse lawsuits to roll in. And they will, by the truckload. Which, when you think about it, was the whole point of opening Boy Scouts to homosexual leaders. Whatever will destroy any organization that might stand in the way of the New World Order’s plans for children.

Tomorrow, I will return my Eagle Scourt Metal to the BSA and request that I be removed from their records and listing of Eagle Scouts.

I was always proud to say that I AM an Eagle Scout. It is with a saddened heart that I will have to sheepesly admit that is WAS an Eagle Scout.

If you had asked me on the day on my Eagle Scout award, “Will homosexuals be able to invade and destroy BSA in the next few decades?” I would have looked at you like you were from outer space. (At the time, I’m not sure what a homosexual really was.)

In retrospect, Scouting years were the best of my young adult life. I am so sorry that so many young men will not have a similar experience.

It is truely a sad day for America.

Scout: 1964-1971
Eagle Scout:1969 (Award signed by Richard Nixon)
Adult Scouter: 1996-2008
Son, Eagle Scout: 2007

Here you can see how divided the organization is...the comments say one thing, but the votes on comments says another...

The BSA will wither on the vine as a result of this decision. They demonstrated moral turpitude by not being “brave” in the face of the homosexual onslaught...instead, they embraced it.
