Nobody has to put their kid in a troop run by a Scoutmaster they don’t trust
period

They can start their own troop instead

Let the BSA die. It is over.

I’m thinking that’s not the point. Scout leadership betrayed the very values they’ve taken an oath to uphold.

Homosexuality is NOT normal. By voting to accept openly homosexual scouts, you’ve essentially accepted homosexuality as normal. It’s only a matter of time, the gay agenda will sue to force openly gay scout leaders.

When they go to camp or National Jamboree they don't know what "scoutmasters" they'll have. (Except for the ones that come with them.)

Infiltrate a few NAMBLA members here and there and then see what you have.

(These are the thoughts of a one-time Boy Scout and the father of two Eagle Scouts.)

This has nothing to do with trusting local scoutmasters. I trust my local scoutmaster, but he still is required to admit openly homosexual boys (and transgendered girls)as of Jan. 1st, and it won’t be long before he is required to admit openly homosexual adult leaders. Not my kids. Not on my watch.

from the article
Do you know, Scoutmasters, what you have done?

This is a mistake in the article. The Scoutmaster did not vote, it was a group of roughly 1200 appointed delegates that were present, there were roughly 200 no show delegates. The vote was basically 60/40 in favor of accepting homosexuals.

In fact Scoutmaster were overwhelmingly against the change, with over 2/3 wanting to retain the policy. Remember, back in July 2012 BSA completed a 2 year study by a committee of 200 that the current policy was the best for Scouting. The BSA statement;

“After careful consideration of a resolution asking the Boy Scouts of America to reconsider its longstanding membership standards policy, today the organization affirmed its current policy, stating that it remains in the best interest of Scouting and that there will be no further action taken on the resolution,”

Immediately after that two members of the Boy Scouts’ executive board, James S. Turley, chairman and chief executive of Ernst & Young, and Randall L. Stephenson, chairman and chief executive of AT&T, have recently said they would push to end the exclusion policy......
Our belief is that change at any organization must come from within to be successful and sustainable.”

ALL Scoutmaster will now be forced to accept open and avowed homosexuals and can not dismiss them from Scouting due to homosexuality. Everyone keeps saying that homosexual leaders are not allowed in Scouting, that is true only for adults, they do not understand the Scouting method. Scouts is YOUTH led. That means you can have a 17 year old Senior patrol leader who is homosexual, leading the troop. A 11 year old Webelo who enters the troop looks up to that 17 year old and emulates/admires him. Do parents really want thay 17 year old as a model for their 11 year old.

Adult Homosexuals will be in Scouting very soon. By this decision the BSA has lost all legal standing from the Supreme Court ( Dale case) for protection. Soon after that there will be no membership standards, just like Scouting Canada and Brittian.

BSA committed suicide, Sadly it should die.

Scouting has left my family, we did not leave Scouting. As my son said “ the only way to uphold the Scout Oath and Scout Law is to no longer be a Scout”

But they can't discriminate against gay scouts.
