Well, I can add one more. My son (a Star rank scout) is no longer participating in Boy Scouts, due to this decision. And I, an Eagle Scout and Assistant Scoutmaster, am no longer involved in scouts. Our troop is not chartered by a Southern Baptist church.
The really sad thing here is that the Boy Scout executives chose the almighty dollar over principles. They did a huge survey of parents and volunteers a few months ago, and the results were that almost two-thirds opposed this policy change. But the people who voted on allowing openly homosexual scouts were not the members and volunteers who took that survey. They were 1,400, mostly professional (paid), scouting executives. They were worried about their salaries. So they ignored the clear preference of their members, and voted to allow openly homosexual members.
That’s the last dollar they will ever get from me. And I’ll think twice about patronizing businesses who previously refused to support the scouts, but now will.
Same here.
