FULL TITLE: Boy Scouts of America will officially welcome gay members on New Year's Day as they grapple with questions about group showers and tentmates
The Boy Scouts of America will accept openly gay youths starting New Year's Day, marking a historic shift that spells major changes to policies on tentmates and showers.
Yet despite their be-prepared approach, BSA leaders are rooting for the change to be a non-event, comparable to another New Year's Day in 2000 when widespread fears of digital-clock chaos to start the new millennium proved unfounded.
My hope is there will be the same effect this Jan. 1 as the Y2K scare, said Brad Haddock, a BSA national executive board member who chairs the policy implementation committee. It's business as usual, nothing happens and we move forward.

They are already dead.

So, Mr. Bradley Haddock, a lawyer, was employed by the “evil” Koch bros. until 2009. He, himself, is an Eagle Scout. Why do I always end up thinking that some sort of “compromising information” transforms the opinions and actions of so many people in high-up positions?
If you cannot stick to your principals....good riddance BSA.
The threat of lawsuits to the Scouts — you sum it up well.
Also, politically correct corporate donors will pull out of the Boy Scouts (so to speak) in sympathy for the 18-year old Eagle Scout who is deprived of his constitutional rights to be an assistant Scoutmaster.
That’s why our forefathers fought and died on the battlefield, is it not?
Before 2014 is over, the BSA will have become overcome with homosexual scout leaders. This policy of denial for homo-leaders was forfeited last May.
“Patriot scouts sounds like a good name.”
Can’t use the word “scouts” - by an act of Congress, that’s reserved for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Bizarre, but that’s what we’ve got.
There are plenty of Muslim Scouts.
At the 2007 World Scout Jamboree, I camped next to Muslim Scouts from Algeria and across the 'street' from Muslim Scouts from Malaysia.
At the time, Scouting existed in some form in every country of the world except six: Cuba, People's Republic of China, Myanmar/Burma, North Vietnam, Cambodia, and Andorra.
It's the communists who have a problem with Scouting, not the Muslims.
My youngest gave up on Scouts, too.
The good neews is, he wants to get more involved at church.
They do own bakeries, photography studios, bridal shops and C&W night clubs. Which, to me, proves it is not about being accepted or being treated equally, it is about destroying the constitution and anyone who retains fundamental christian values.
what is funny is there are homosexual only real estate agents. That is a clear violation of the federal housing laws.
