The Boy Scouts of America says it will allow transgender children who identify as boys to enroll in its boys only programs.
The organization announced Monday that it had made the decision to base enrollment in boys only programs on the gender a child or parent lists on the application to become a scout. The organization had previously held a policy that relied on the gender listed on a child's birth certificate.
A spokeswoman for the organization says it made the decision based on states and communities changing how gender is defined.
A transgender child in Secaucus, New Jersey, was asked late last year to leave his Scout troop after parents and leaders found out he is transgender.

We just buried my old Scoutmaster a couple years back, and I'm so glad he didn't have to see what's become of what was once an exemplary pillar of male adolescence.
Rest in Hell, BSA
New name — You Don’t Have To Be A Boy Scouts.
These worthless organizations may cave, but I don’t you’re ever going to get people to truly think a man is a woman for no reason other than they “identify” as it.
WTF is wrong with the Boy Scouts? Rhetorical question....they let the deviants into the leadership of the organization and they’ve made it into their own image.

Put the blame where it belongs. Militant liberal Rex Tillerson was the one that opened the floodgates for the homosexual agenda.
This is one of the many reasons Trump won.
Keep it up, Leftists!
Being a bit harsh toward Trump's Secretary of State, aren't you? He's the one that got the ball rolling.
Our church switched several years ago to Trail Life USA.
I posted earlier today about the Secaucus girl http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3519117/posts
Some of the happiest memories of my adult life have been as a scoutmaster. Huddling under blankets around the campfire, and so forth. But now, all of that has been ruined. Ruined.What a shame. Oops, I forgot, there is no shame....
Exactly!
You watch, Boy Scouts of America will die out in about five years.
I forbid my boys from getting in to any organization that allows pedophiles as adult leaders. BSA is HISTORY!!

“WTF is wrong with the Boy Scouts? Rhetorical question....they let the deviants into the leadership of the organization and theyve made it into their own image.”
Dont blame the boys or their leaders. The current national president: Randall L. Stephenson, chairman and CEO of AT&T. He purchased his seat on the national council right after Robert Gates. Remember the real authority of who is in the scouts are the scoutmaster and chartering orginization. If they do not want girls in the troop, they will NOT be in the troop. Period.
And when the local troop is sued, without the national organization (and it's legal team and money), your local troop will fold like a cheap suit. Period.
And that boys and girls is how a country is destroyed, one bight at a time.
