They have been getting an earful from the homosexual lobby, now it is our turn. I am a Scoutmaster. I am against the change in policy. It is a divide and conquer technique. As a whole the homosexual lobby has not been able to take down or effect change in the BSA, but with smaller separate charter organizations they will be easy targets. The CO’s can not support legal challenges, the money is not there. What will eventually be left are CO’s that accept homosexuality. Even if no homosexuals join, they have again pushed there agenda of normalizing their behavior into society.
They so wish this, even though deep in there soul they know they never will be.
As a Scoutmaster, I sent a letter to National, our Council Executive and District Managers and told htem in no uncertain terms that our troop is fully against this change. As a volunteer, I told them that they need us far more than we need them. American Heritage Girls springs to mind as an organization that would probably readily develop a boys program. As a Scoutmaster with a great team and lots of experience, I could easily have a program just like Scouts and completely independent of Scouts.
I don’t use profanity but am having a very hard time controlling my tongue about this.
