Christians should abandon the BSA
What new merit badges are they going to have?
2014 America:
The homosexual scout master is taking the boys on an outing to the woods...
As hundreds of thousands of children line the Rose Parade route, a gay float with two homosexuals on top, will be getting married and while kissing and groping each other..
You should be proud America!
don’t forget they were throwing color condoms to the kids
The gay homo float will be followed by the Pasadena Pedophile Marching Band...
P.S. Trail Life USA was started AFTER and BECAUSE the BSA voted to allow gays.
and here comes the Butterfly Kisses (female version of NAMBLA) right behind them in their matching uniforms.
"We believe there is One Triune God – God the Father; Jesus Christ, His one and only Son; and the Holy Spirit – Creator of the universe and eternally existent. We believe the Holy Scriptures (Old and New Testaments) to be the inspired and authoritative Word of God. We believe each person is created in His image for the purpose of communing with and worshiping God. We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit, Who enables us to live godly lives. We believe each of us is called to love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. We believe God calls us to lives of purity, service, stewardship and integrity. - See more at: http://www.traillifeusa.com/who-we-are/values/statement-of-faith-values/#sthash.jM1Iisuk.dpuf"
Wait until you see the illegal alien float...
I guess I could imagine.... or not
Romney has supported this for 20 years, and punished the
Boy Scouts in the Winter Olympics that he ran.
I sincerely can not understand (and do doubt) that a Christian can be a Democrat.
Kind of like worshiping God on Sunday and the Devil the rest.
Here’s a question can individual units or regional councils choose to keep the old policy? If not can individual units, regional councils choose to diss associate with the national BSAs?? And has this started to happen anywhere?
Mitt Romney’s long quest is over. They succeeded.
Sexual deviancy now acceptable and no doubt to be enforced by the BSA.
BSA 2013 Study Executive Summary
"The summary of findings said a policy change would cost the Scouts a minimum of 100,000 to 350,000 (13.5%) members. “It is believed any gain in membership because of a change to the membership policy related to youth and adults would be in the range of 10,000 to 20,000 (<1%) youth.”
As the article stated, the biggest exodus out of BSA, by Christian denomination, so far has been the Southern Baptist Convention. The LDS, UMC, and RCC all are standing with the BSA. I think the 13% loss estimated by BSA National is probably fairly accurate, but it will take several more months for BSA to accumulate and process its annual re-chartering/registration drive. All of this takes place against the big picture backdrop of ...
1. BSA membership, especially in its flagship program, Boy Scout troops (an argument could be made that Cub Scouts is now the flagship program), has been consistently eroding since 1973.
2. White male population is declining. The white population historically has always embraced Scouting more than other ethnic groups.
3. Despite decades of effort, non-white participation in Scouting continues to lag.
4. It seems clear that when BSA announced a few months ago that former Sec-Def Robert Gates would accept a 2-year appointment as BSA National President in May 2014, that BSA is laying the foundation to change the membership rules, again, to accept open homosexual adults as leaders.
Your question has a name for it - "the local option."
The short answer to your question is no.
The progressives were pushing hard for the local option. The new membership standard that was accepted, i.e., open homosexual youth, is unacceptable to them. They will press for full accpetance of open homosexual adult leaders, and get it within 2 years.
Neither one of his parents are gay. But they are divorced. The poor kid never got any attention except from the girls.
