I'm just an outsider reading opinions. It seems that if the BSA wanted to do things in a reasonable way, they would've passed something that sexuality and sexual orientation are topics that are off limits. Anyone wants to talk about or act out anything sexual, they'd have to understand that's not what scouts is for, and go elsewhere.

This will destroy BSA. JMHO

As a general rule Boy Scout troops everywhere will have a couple of troublesome kids ~ AND their parents will never show up for volunteer work. Their dad's usually don't do camping either.

Our neighborhood troop had a homosexual psychiatric type Boy Scout ~ and his dad was a psychiatrist. One thing you could count on was the old man talking somebody into letting his kid go on camping trips, even summer camp, with the promise of "I'll be there so you don't have a thing to worry about" ~ of course he was never there, or he'd cruise in and leave after an hour. One summer my eldest was working on a few remaining merit badges for Eagle. This kid was there. My son was given the task of following this kid around so he wouldn't get in trouble ~ which I guess was the other choice from hogtieing that kid and stuffing him his tent all day.

No, my kid didn't get his merit badges ~ although he did get his Eagle later. No apology from the psychiatrist.

You cannot have disruptive elements like that around. I'd just guess the 2/3 who voted for open homosexual behavior and homosexual rape as official policies of Boy Scouts of America have never themselves ever worked as volunteers ~ they're like the psychiatrist.
