I am a former Boy Scout.

I strongly advocate the Boy Scouts stand their ground on this important issue, clearly and without wavering.

Forever.

Mrs. RQSR hasn’t had the opportunity to read this one yet, but I know she will join me saying to you another good one Gina. Thanks for the post scottfactor.

I don’t understand why the homosexuals don’t understand that allowing homosexuals in the Boy Scouts will destroy the Boy Scouts.

Maybe that’s the real goal.

Should the boy scouts bend, they will become as irrelevant as the vapid, politically correct girl scouts.

You bend to mediocrity (which is the central tenet of progressives) you become one of the hive.

Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.

"AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson and Ernst & Young CEO Jim Turley"
Both run megacorporations that are globalist crony-capitalist enterprises.

I have been proud to be an Eagle Scout for most of my life.

I know it would be a small thing if I were the only one to repudiate ANY use of AT&T services, but I feel obligated to stand up for the organization that probably kept me from being a complete loser.

If we don't stand up for ourselves, we deserve what we get.

I was also a Scout — and a staff trainer at a High Adventure base in the 1980s. High Adventure wilderness programs, at that time, were the ultimate expression of the Scouting movement.

I recommend that if some corporate sponsors, such as Ernst & Young and AT&T, are threatening to withdraw financial support for Scouting, then we need to contact other corporations that have demonstrated their support for Christian virtues and ask them to replace the withdrawn corporate sponsorships. Hobby Lobby and Chick-Fil-A come to mind, but there are many more.

I’m a Scout leader with a growing troop and two son’s in the program. It sickens me to see this once fine organization turn their collective heads away from their oath to suck up to the popular culture. Boy Scouts are in a way anti-culture and should be proud of that.

I sent a letter to Wayne Brock, Chief Scout Executive calling for the immediate removal of any of these agitators. If the organization needs to shrink, so be it. I’ve been harping that Scouts needs us (Scouts and leaders) far more than we need them.

I honestly have no idea why their costs are so high that they require so much corporate sponsorship. My troop is fully self supporting. Each Scout pays $12 per year as does each scout leader. That’s about $35,000,000. We pay for camp, we pay for all activities,

Camp is a profit center. A few years ago, I was on staff for Cub Scout Day camp. The registration fee was $65 for 3 days (not bad) Each kid got a t-shirt ($4.00) besides that, we were allotted $5.00 for each scout for program costs. The other $56.00 went to insurance and profit.

Not that it’s wrong, but do we really need corporate money?

It won’t be enough for the BSA to merely decide to retain their policy regarding homosexuality (moral crookedness.) unless the Scouts purge this governing body of all those of a leftist ideology, this issue will keep cropping up. This issue must become as untenable as allowing pedophiles in.
