The Boy Scouts of America is considering dropping a longtime ban on gay members, according to a spokesman.

“The BSA is discussing potentially removing the national membership restriction regarding sexual orientation,'' spokesman Deron Smith said in a statement obtained by FoxNews.com. "This would mean there would no longer be any national policy regarding sexual orientation, but that the chartered organizations that oversee and deliver Scouting would accept membership and select leaders consistent with their organization’s mission, principles or religious beliefs."

Following in the foot steps of Hitlers Youth. Hitler ended up taking over all of Germany’s youth organizations and putting them under government control.

No need for our donations then.

Exceptionally well written letter to the BSA. I hope the top leadership gets to read this.

>> “ What will they do with 14 year old homosexuals at camp?” <<

.
Here’s one from the wayback machine.

I was about 13 at the time. We were at Camp Wolfboro, a BSA camp on the Stanislaus river in the Sierra.

Any normal alolescent boy at that age is very interested in the opposite sex, and when staying at a boys camp, the sight of a pretty girl will gather a crowd of said boys like bees to a blossom. So when most of the boys in the camp began spending as much time as possible at the dispensary it is logical to assume that the presence of Dr. Gray’s teenage daughter was the reason. But there was one boy in our camp platoon that never went near the place, and when we talked about miss Gray at the mess hall or campfire, he would act offended, and call the rest of us sissies for being so interested.

He soon found himself completely alone, and complained to our counsellor that we were shunning him. There was to my knowledge no organized effort to do so; it was just nature in action, but we got a lecture nevertheless.

Thank you for the ping. Most disheartening. No more BSA donations from me.

There is a direct link between homosexuality and pederasty. When Gay travel magazines compare over 100 countries for the availability of little boys for sex, that’s a link. When the Gay Platform contains objectives like the repeal of all sodomy and age of consent laws, that’s a link. When even Kinsey stated that 47 percent of the homosexuals he interviewed admitted to deviant sex with underage boys, that’s a link. When more recent research finds that the homosexual rate for child molestation is through the roof compared to heterosexuals, that’s a link. When the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) and its’ modern counterpart, B4U-ACT, both petition for the removal of laws and stigma of man-boy sex, that’s a link. When Elton John holds a concert with male dancers, dressed as Boy Scouts, who writhe suggestively on stage, and the crowd goes wild, that’s a link. I think the Readership gets the idea that we’ve seen enough headlines about Scoutmasters, dirty homosexual priests and high school and college (ie Sandusky) coaches have been raping little boys for so long that we have come to the inescapable conclusion that a vast majority of homosexuals have a salivating interest in little boys.

“What will they do with 14 year old homosexuals at camp? Oh, that’s right, accept that behavior as “normal”.”

Guess now there’s gonna be a merit badge for fudge packing.

36 Pardon my ignorance, but what is “TEC”? Thanks, & us Catholics are happy to have your help.

102 TEC perhaps means the Episcopal Church?

Correct. Changed from ECUSA a few years ago. The other turds in the BSA punchbowl are ...

UCC = United Church of Christ
TEC = The Episcopal Church
ELCA = Evangelical Lutheran Churchof America
PCUSA = Presbyterian Church of the USA

UMC = United Methodist Church. They are brushing up against schism over the issue of acceptance of homosexuality.

Girl Scouts national professsionals went lesbo several years back. Membership continues to decline (just like BSA). Conservative Girl Scouters have broken away to form their own association.

The LDS (Mormons), RCC (Catholics), and SBC (Southern Baptist Convention) are in the last line of defense of Christian orthodoxy regarding teaching of sexual sin, i.e., fornication, adultery, and active homosexuality. While the SBs are not as involved in Scouting, they do have a stake in this fight.

In 1972, there was a gay scoutmaster in my home town who molested a kid.

Was in the boy scouts around the time also, similar thing. Scoutmaster was accused, prosecuted and went to jail.

Epilogue: Many years later, I read a book about seasoned cops and their stories. One particular cop who caught pedophiles, likened to Law and Order SVU, made some profound comments on these pervs that changed my way of thinking. First the pedophiles decide at a very young age that they like young people. There, er, feelings, are significant enough that they make career decisions based on their perversions. So they gravitate to where they can be around their young prey and, importantly, in authority. Thus, they gravitate to the obvious positions of priest, preacher, youth minister, teacher, coach and of course, scoutmasters. So, the unsuspecting parents and kids do not realize that the creep they are talking to has spent years (decades) positioning himself as a spider builds a web.

The cop went on to say (paraphrase) these creeps are masters of disguise and deception. For instance, they may be married and have kids. They are very patient. It could take months or years to actually perpatrate their crime on one individual.

And usually...get this...they are very cool, as in hip and with-the-times. The cop said that upon getting arrested, the people who know these clowns are suprised and even deny that the perv could have possibly done these horrible things. "He is just so good with kids". "He would never hurt my boy". "He is such a big brother to my son".

My point is that even today, I am eyeing coaches, teachers, youth pastors who are just too cool. Who have all the latest kid gadgets, xbox, smart phones, hot cars, etc. Who love to help the single mom with her "troubled" boy. Who does not seem to have any friends except his mother.

My contributions will cease....

Have they not read their own oath lately? They are “in charge” of something they don’t even believe in? Disgusting if they do this!!
