n my town, the Boy Scouts have exploded in popularity. This is heartening to hear. After a seeming decline in popularity, I too have noticed an increase in interest - more Scouts visible in public, doing community service or selling items outside grocery stores. I hope it continues.

If the rent deal is invalid, so should the transfer of the land be invalidated...property reverts to the Boy Scouts. Great point.

The sodomites do have a version that attempts to mirror real scouting: “Scouting for All.” It’s a lame characature of real scouting, and I think it just exists to mock the BSA.

The land wasn't their's to begin with, it always was owned by the city. Why then was the following statement included in the article?
The land on which the building sits had been turned over to the city by the Scouts with the understanding that the Scouts would be able to stay in the Beaux Arts style building "in perpetuity."

Nope... ever heard of adverse possession, my FRiend? And I'm sure they may try to argue it, but whether it applies in this case will depend on what the Pennsylvania statute says.

"I doubt that many know how the left is arrayed against them."You'd be surprised how many adult leaders and parents are oblivious to this and the many other campaigns facing the BSA.
I talk to as many as I can about these types of issues and many of them look at me quizzically, the first they'd ever heard of such a thing.

Glad I didn’t disappoint.
To: Non-Sequitur
Again, IANAL, but it seems to me that one wouldn’t press for that unless the court allows the City to go forward with their breach of contract.

Nope... ever heard of adverse possession, my FRiend?Not gonna work. While some articles have said that the Scouts have been there rent-free, the fact is that they've paid a token rent of $1 per year. That invalidates any adverse possession claim.

Why then was the following statement included in the article?Because it's a sloppily researched article. The land belonged to the city. They leased it to the BSA for $1 a year. The Scouts built the building on it and later turned that over to the city. The land itself, though, always belonged to the city, and is part of the same large parcel that includes parks and public museums. As far as the "in perpetuity" thing, the original agreement includes a clause that allows the city to terminate the agreement with one year's notice.

They argue that other private groups that discriminate in their membership, such as a Roman Catholic parish and the Colonial Dames of America, also enjoy subsidized leases and have not been threatened with the end of their lease agreements. The reason the city don't persecute the Catholic parish is that they do let homosexuals be priests. And see where it has gotten them!
This is so sick.

That’s why I’m saying that if that agreement is vacated, then the “rent” payments should also be also vacated.

Why then was the following statement included in the article? Because it's LifeSite News...not exactly the most accurate source.
