No kidding. What’s the point of being in the BSA if they’re not all real boys? May as well get rid of the “Boy” part and just call it “Scouts”. Man, we are going down the toilet fast.

Count on it.

End of an era.

But it promotes the feminization of the American male, so it’s a win-win for the commies.

As an aside, I know a young man who was considering joining the marines. But after the betrayal at Benghazi, Fort Hood, the Rules of Engagement, the openly gay military, and so many other betrayals, he’s decided not to enlist.

I consider myself fortunate to have belonged to the Young Men’s Christian Association’s Indian Guides and later the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. Not long ago, the Indian Guides program was discontinued, a victim of—you guessed it—political correctness. Now it’s the BSA’s turn.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan of the Roman Catholic Church was unavailable for comment on Monday.

He was too busy re-assigning pederast priests.

For 100 years Scouting has been a “safe place” for boys.

Putting boys out in the woods with practicing homosexuals is a recipe for disaster.

I promise that my decades long funding of the Boy Scouts will cease, should this stand.

Well, the scouts motto “Be Prepared” now takes on new meaning; i.e. KY jelly and bending exercises. To wax serious get your boys out. It is sad yet another institution ruined by egalitarianism.

The purpose is to destroy an organization that teaches morality and uprightness. Allow homosexuals to join, have them molest the boys, have parents sue BSA into bankruptcy and shut down the organization forever.

Baal is so proud of his minions' progress.

If they do this, they might as well close up shop because they will be out of business in no time.

My little Tiger and I have a den meeting tonight. This is very sad.

Good for the Southern Baptists. My son’s troop is sponsored by an SBC Church, so I hope they hold the line on this. I am worried about the entire situation, and our local Council posted a link to the national press release with no comment - I’m afraid that’s bad news.

It's not like the fools don't know what inevitably happens when active, practicing homosexuals are placed in close contact with pubescent boys and teenagers. All they need are two names: Jerry Sanusky and the Catholic Church. Given the absolute foreseeabiliy of mass, repeated sexual molestation once they abrogate the no homosexuals rule, it's hard to see how those who vote to abrogate it could end up not being held personally liable to the hundreds of boys who will end up being violated. If they think they run a risk of successful lawsuits now, just imagine what will happen once the rump riders hit the purple sage.

The other point they don't seem to understand is that the military and Catholic Church offer more and better benefits to their members than the Boy Scouts ever can, making the military and church lesss vulnerable to mass refusals to join than the Scouts. The military offers the honor of patriotic service (at least until the Illegal kills that) and a career and the Church offers eternal salvation, while all the scouts offer are outdoor recreational opportunities. The opportunity for outdoor recreational opportunities will, for most parents, hardly offset the real risk of having their sons buggered.

Standing by a principled decision despite an onslaught of criticism is the best lesson a young man can have-caving in to shrill hysteria is the worst. A teachable moment will be forever lost if the BSA capitulates.

Many people say that they support gay marriage, but how many parents look down in crib and dream of that child growing up and “marrying” someone of the same sex.

Many people want to appear tolerant and accepting of a homosexual lifestyle, but how many parents want their young boy closely mentored by a homosexual.

Coincidently, it’s not widely reported, but the troops come back from Afghanistan reporting that man/boy sex is the cultural norm over there. But the Afhanis strongly deny that they are homosexual, and some of the Blue on Green violence is due to our troop’s disgust with these practices.

Sadly, what you predict is exactly what will happen. Remember, most people who want their sons to join the Scouts are upright religious people who don't want their sons introduced to the "gay lifestyle" and will refuse to let the boys join in the first place. The Church rode out the scandal because it offers eternal salvation; the Scouts, OTOH, only offer outdoor recreational opportunities, something that can readily be offered by lots of other organizations.

What a helpful post. With the establishment about to authorize sodomy on the Boy Scouts of America, hurling gratuitous insults at allies is such a good idea.
