First it was homos in the military, then faux marriage, then trannies in the military, and now the Boy Scouts.

He promised a fundamental transformation, and he delivered. Disgusting.

Well people can pull their kids like they should have 2 years ago or it’s a safe bet they want them raped.

no boys of mine will ever join them and I have just talked to others who have said that their boys will not, and one parent told me that she is taking her boy out of boy scouts.

People said if homosexuals wanted a Scouts program for homosexuals, they should start their own. Well, they just did (although technically it’s a conversion).

The national is quite different form the local councils.

My troop committee will not allow a gay man in a leadership role under any circumstances. It is not negotiable. We will not take orders from national.

Robert Gates is a shameful POS and has no place in the BSA.

Robert Gates, the ultimate bureaucrat. Whatever you might want done, good or bad, just hire Gates to do it. He’s your man.

One of the most important responsibilities of adults is to protect children for the known dangers of the world. The issue with homosexual leadership in the scouts is that the known danger of sexual predators who are attracted to young boys. That is a fact. These adults have abrogated their responsibility as adults in order to conform to a political social cause. They have delivered young children to the burning, and they should suffer hereafter for their guilt.

The Boy Scouts will become the dancing boys of Afghanistan and since powerful political elements will protect the adult leaders, the Boy Scout organization, the law, and the media will ensure that nothing is done.

Yes, it was.

I was a Scout and our son is the first Eagle Scout in the family...looks like he’ll be the last as well.

Social marxism claims another victim...or should I say, convert?

I salute your resistance, but I believe your Charter Org will come under intense fire from the pro-homo fascists if word gets out you’ve rejected or plan to reject a homo...

The BSA has essentially cut all units off of the vine...

It’ll be interesting to see how quickly units either succumb or disband when confronted by the homo fascists.

Completely agree with your Gates observation...knew it from the beginning when they announced him.

But God forbid you’re an agnostic.

Sorry to the boys in the troops, who really have no say in what the leadership decides. Many have worked hard to move up in rank.

Amazing and sad. The boyscouts have become and are becoming homosexual feeding grounds.

This is the GIRL SCOUTS (or at least one organization in Texas) policy toward males:

"We welcome and encourage male volunteers to participate in our program. All policies and procedures concerning men are designed to protect our male volunteers and our girl members. Male adults may be part of the leadership team for a Girl Scout Troop/group of girls, including being designated as the Troop Leader for the Girl Scout Troop/group. Male Girl Scout Leaders are expected to fulfill the same requirements as female Girl Scout Leaders. Specifically, men may not participate alone with girls. At troop meetings, one unrelated female volunteer must be present. In addition, men will not take girls on overnights, camping trips, extended trips, or events without two female volunteers present. "

We assume these rules are in place JUST in case a male leader is sexually attracted to a girl scout. So tell me in the new boy scouts do they have similar rules for homosexual scout leaders? No homosexuals allowed to be alone with boy scouts. There must be two heterosexual scout leaders accompanying a homosexual?

The girl scouts have a cookie drive.... The Boy Scouts will now have an anal lube drive.

This means that within five years the scouts will be an ideologically liberal and actively pro-gay organization. Anyone who disagrees will leave or will be purged. Just like the YMCA, YWCA, and the Girl Scouts.
