The homosexuals will weasel their way in there, too.

There is NO American organization those characters won’t challenge or allow to stand.

“There is NO American organization those characters won’t challenge or allow to stand.”

Until we unite and shove it up their collective smelly Obamas. (Something they are already obviously very used to.)

Not easily. When they do, we start another.

It’ll be interesting to follow this.

Sadly, the BSA holds all of the resources ( summer camps, infrastructure, etc. ).

I wish these new groups the best of luck but I don’t think it would ever be the same.

Perhaps the vast majority of scouting families band together and sue for some of those resources for these new groups.

I hope they don’t plan to ever take corporate or public donations. Because that is what will end of destroying them.

Young men who have same-sex attractions will be permitted into the organization, though they will not be allowed to push a gay agenda or flaunt their sexual orientation.

So then that differs from the Boy Scouts how?

The BSA also has to maintain, and pay taxes on, those resources.

In fact, just last week, I received an e-mail plea from our local Scout council (with whom I recently parted ways) requesting money exactly for those reasons.

I told them to go ask their Sodomite buddies at AT&T and ErnstYoung for the dough.

Bottom line—Most councils don’t have a much in the way of financial reserves and almost live hand-to-mouth. I expect a lot of BSA properties will be on the market in a couple of years.

I don’t think the leaders in this new organization will be as easily intimidated as the BSA “executives” who were trying to hold on to their jobs more than anything else.

Giving the newer organizations an opportunity to purchease them.

The BSA does not hold state or federal lands or parks. Further, if thousands of troops leave the BSA, it will have to sell off much of those holdings to remain solvent. Just like the girl scouts have done.

Hope you’re right; however, until a year ago, I would have sworn it wouldn’t happen to the BSA.

I noticed that, too. Bzzzt. This one is a non-starter.

I think you may be right, unfortunately. On their founding day, they made this thing about homosexuality rather than following christian values.
