After the vote OnMyHonor.net released the following statement:

“OnMyHonor.Net along with other likeminded organizations, parents and BSA members, are announcing a coalition meeting that will take place next month in Louisville, Kentucky. There we will discuss the creation of a new character development organization for boys. We will host and facilitate a national coalition meeting of former BSA parents and other youth leaders who wish to return to truly timeless values that once made the BSA great.

“We grieve today, not because we are faced with leaving Scouting, but because the Boy Scouts of America has left us. Its leadership has turned its back on 103 years of abiding by a mission to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices. Instead, it is embarking on a pathway of social experimentation that we believe will place at risk the very youth the organization is entrusted to serve, while rendering as hollow the tenets of the Scout Oath. Many of us find that unacceptable, and we have a desire to explore how we might serve families and young people at the highest standard originally intended by Scouting’s founder, Robert Baden-Powell.

“While the meeting will be private, your voice is very important to us and will be represented there. We welcome your comments as we develop our plans. Please share your thoughts with us at Contact@OnMyHonor.Net.”

----------------------------------------------------

I’m pulling my boys out of the Cub Scouts.

I may have to put up with some things at work but I’ll be damned if I’m putting up with it at home with my children.

I have made a donation to OnMyHonor.net and I eagerly await the results of their meeting. I hope they can come up with something good. I really wanted my boys to learn all the other things the Boy Scouts had to offer.

One thing I do know is they will not be able to use the name Scouts. That's copyrighted by BSA.

Too bad that Scout is spoken for. God Scout would be a possibility and I’m not joking.

Boy Champions?

My Son pulled himself out of scouts. He loved it, and it was good for him. He has worked very hard, and was well on his way to Eagle, had no doubt in my mind he was going to achieve his goal.

He said, "How can a Scout be 'morally strait' and be gay", he gets at 12 years old, what so many can not.

The BSA’s official position and argument before the Court in the BSA vs. Dale case was:

“The Boy Scouts asserts that homosexual conduct is inconsistent with the values embodied in the Scout Oath and Law, particularly those represented by the terms “morally straight” and “clean,” and that the organization does not want to promote homosexual conduct as a legitimate form of behavior.”

It might be time for Patriot Scouts, with emphasis on conservative values.

They can use the word scouts. Many organizations already do. The Baden-Powel Scouts use it. Hell even Girl Scouts use it. It is a generic term and can not be copyrighted.

That is one law suit they will not initiate. They will already be in heap big do do in a couple years. Once they have nothing but Homosexuals and Lesbians who are willing to hold scout meetings, the normal fathers and mothers have a tendency to vote with their feet.

I am already fashioning a letter that will explain why this Eagle Scout will never allow his five sons to join a BSA sponsored organization and will have NO PROBLEM finding a Conservative alternative.

I suggest everyone do the same. Be respectful, but firm.

“The BSA would never consider a proposal that increased risk to young people.”

Everyone would be comfortable with 17 year old straight boys in charge of younger girls in the girl scouts. Everyone knows that isn’t looking for trouble because in 2013 US the sex drive of boys doesn’t kick in until 25 or so. Of course.

RE :”The essence of the difference between the old policy and the proposed new policy is that the old policy prohibits “open and avowed” homosexuality for both BSA youth and adult members but the new policy removes that prohibition for boys and requires every BSA unit to accept “open and avowed” homosexual youth up to 17 years old. Importantly, the current policy already allows for BSA members who have a same-sex attraction but do not act out openly or inappropriately to be in good standing and to earn Scouting’s highest rank of Eagle. This is a critical point that has been obscured by pro-resolution advocates but one which is irrefutable.”

That is why I donated to the Boy Scouts for about 10 years in a row and are sad to lose them.
This has been standard conservative principle for decades.
We dont discriminate against anyone FOR WHO THEY ARE but we need to for WHAT THEY DO and promote.

Their new policy is simply caving to the Homo-rights movement. Really sad.

How many of those writing to and calling the BSA will send their children off to our nation’s godless, HOMOSEXUAL, and MARXIST run socialist-entitlement K-12 schools on Tuesday?

Just wondering.

On most forums concerning said psychopathology, There are far too many comments on directing homosexuals to start their own Boy Scouts group. First, this suggestion is the most barbaric form of child abuse and second, homosexuals don’t have their own kids: they don’t reproduce, normally. The driving force behind homosexual demands for inclusion in the BSA, is ACCESS to other people’s children.

This thing with the Boy Scouts is the final “cherry” on top of the cake. It’s a total triumph for the queer nation and the total destruction of the last obstacle in the way of morality in America.

I was in the Boy Scouts back in the 50’s and early 60’s when it was non-political and was an honor to be a member. We were taught the strict rules of the Boy Scout manual and actually “earned” merit badges that meant something.

Through the years the words Boy, Man, Male, Masculine, and any other word or phrase that described masculinity became forbidden code words for the enemy of feminism.

Well, we have finally reached the goal of feminists.....total eradication of the male species. Thanks to our public indoctrination centers (schools on all levels), TV, entertainment industry, and political correctness.

I never dreamed that I would condemn the Boy Scouts but times have changed and I will never support them (or anything they represent) ever again.

I should have seen it coming when the Girl Scouts became totally politically correct and allowed little boys to join. The Boy Scouts would not be long to fall in line.

I had not even thought about girls now saying they’re boys who want to join the boy scouts.

This is plain insanity, the whole concept of homosexuals and their agenda is purely insane.

We all know this is a step to getting homosexuals in leadership positions and yet again the homosexuals, [never used the term gay] can’t keep their sex life private and force others to have to have tem in their faces.

All on here I hope has protested this and will speak out at your churches, schools, neighbors, work because it is frigging high time that people stood up for the children and future of this country instead of remaining cowards and for anyone who will not speak up, will not question, will support this agenda, or say :hell I;m not saying it at work or to my family I don;t want any trouble”

Well you need to be ashamed and don’t bother thanking a vet or remembering those who died who actually gave their lives and you can’t even speak up for the children.

I’ so frigging pissed off right now with these deviants.

I just talked with a 16 year old boy scout who is planning a military career. I talked about the homos and he said he planned on staying single and would just endure it. The young people have a different perspective on homos.

People have missed the point that one distinct possibility that this new policy has opened the door for is the formation of all-"gay" scouting units. There is nothing now that will prevent this.

There are plenty of homosexual "churches" who would be more than willing to flood in to pervert this formerly honorable organization at light speed by sponsoring a troop of its like-minded congregants. And once instituted, what normal boy would want to belong?

Concentrating the same perverted world view universally among themselves, these monolithic scouting units will reinforce their radical activism. They will rewrite and adopt their own rules, which will be NOTHING like anything the upper level administration intended. Scout troops operate fairly autonomously, and if no one in the troop reports violations, they are free to operate as they want, adopting uniforms to their own specifications (imagine rainbow neckerchiefs) and standards of conduct acceptable to themselves.

These homosexual troops will, inadvertently, be thrown together with normal boy scout units in council-wide camping events, national jamborees, and other multi-unit scouting events. Most organized scout camps have no physical divisions between campsites and are often directly contiguous to each other. The radicalized and newly emboldened homosexual scout units will have a field day. And with the new PC rules, no one will be able to do much about it.
