I am a former Boy Scout.
I strongly advocate the Boy Scouts stand their ground on this important issue, clearly and without wavering.
Forever.
“For certain people have crept in unnonticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.” (Jude 4)
BUMP!
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.
And I agree they have to get rid of those two moles. Did they learn nothing from the Catholic Church.. .They have to stop taking corporate money too... They can survive and thrive
Thank you, Mr. RQSR. :-)
Nechaev, Sergei - “He despises and hates the present public morality in all its forms. For him only that is moral which contributes to the triumph of the revolution. All that obstructs this is immoral and criminal. Day and night he should have but one thought, one purpose - merciless destruction.
With the purpose of merciless destruction the revolutionary may and often must live in society, pretending to be something he is not. The revolutionary must penetrate everywhere: into the highest and the middle classes; into the merchant’s store; into the church; into the mansions of the aristocrat; into the worlds of bureaucracy, the military and literature. Our task is terrible, complete, universal and merciless destruction.”
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.
Unless........
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to contact other corporations that have demonstrated their support for Christian virtues and ask them to replace the withdrawn corporate sponsorships.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.
Maybe that’s the real goal.
Rest assured, they absolutely *do* understand the results of their desires. Yes the *real* ultimate goal is the destruction of the BSA.
the infowarrior
That is their real goal.
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.
It sounds like there are a lot more moles ensconced in this board than just these two, if it was possible for this board to vote to jettison the prohibition on homosexuality. There are like 30 board Members, so do the math.

11/18/2009 - BSA announced its intention to purchase property near Mount Hope, WV, as the future home of The Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve. The property was 10,600 acres (43 km2) in size. It would serve as the future home of the national scout jamboree, the Summit High Adventure Base, and the National Center for Scouting Excellence. The acquisition of the property and its construction was made possible through a donation from the Stephen D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation. The $50 million donation was the largest in the history of the BSA. On October 22, 2010 the BSA announced that total donations had reached $100 million, including a $25 million donation from the Suzanne and Walter Scott Foundation. It will be 1 of 4 facilities managed by the National Council of the BSA (the others being Northern Tier (MN), Philmont (NM), and National Sea Base (FL).
5/30-6/02/2012 – BSA held its annual national business meeting in Orlando, FL. Telecom pioneer and Seattle Mariners co-owner, Wayne Perry, was elected as the BSA's 34th (volunteer) president. Perry, a life-long member of the LDS Church, began his career in telecommunications and was chairman and CEO of Edge Wireless until it was sold to AT&T in 2008. Sometime during the meeting, the “local option” resolution was delegated to a sub-committee. It was announced that AT&T had agreed to “light up” The Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve in WV with wireless telecommunications capability in time for the 2013 National Jamboree just like it did for the 2010 National Jamboree at Ft. A.P. Hill, VA. This gift to the Reserve is reportedly of equal value to the Suzanne and Walter Scott Foundation’s donation of $25 million.
David Horowitz keeps up with the status of the philanthropic foundations in the U.S. - which in many cases were established by captains of industry who are no longer here. He says that the radical left began infiltrating the foundations after ~1975. Today over half of the foundations have boards of directors who are radical leftists, and they make foundation grants to their fellow travellers.
