So, you have no problem with your 11 year old camping in the same tent with an openly gay 17+ year old boy? Surely, your not that clueless?

I believe that we should not sexualize our children and before my son went on weekend bib-whack he knew what was expected of him, and what was right and he knew that if a bunk mate was doing something wrong he was to let his pack leader know.
When my son was in the Scouts I knew every leader and trusted their judgment as leaders, friends and neighbors to care for my son and help teach him right from wrong. As a parent, you trust your son to be exactly what the “scout motto” says and I never had a suspicion that anything but fun for the scout was on the minds of the chaperons. How will you know if a 10, 12 or 14 year old boy is gay and why is it your business? Now when it comes to a gay adult leading the scouts, I have a problem.
