In May 2015, BSA President Robert Gates told the national meeting of the BSA in Atlanta that he believes that the current policy of excluding openly gay adults from leadership positions is "unsustainable" and should be changed at an early date. He told the organization that recent events have made it increasingly likely that the BSA will face serious legal challenges to that policy. He advocated removing this exclusion from the BSA's policies but allowing each chartered organization (70% of which are religious organizations) to establish criteria for their units' adult leaders consistent with the organization's values. Gates indicated in subsequent comments that he expected the BSA to take action on his recommendations by October 2015.
How did that work out for you?

So let me get this straight. The BSA is sued for child molesters in their ranks but have to have fruitcakes as scout leaders. Got it.

Probably worked out exactly the way his trial lawyer friends intended it to. I just wonder if he gets a spiff off every case.

So the government forces the Boy Scouts to use homosexual men to lead overnight camping trips with young boys and when the homosexual man follows through on his obviously uncontrollable sexual urge the Boy Scouts are sued into bankruptcy and subjected to public condemnation because they used homosexual men to lead overnight camping trips with young boys.
Is this a great country or what?!

Thank you Dr Gates. A pedophile enabler.

Oh noess! Rockwell is a dead white male whose subjects were predominantly white. There must be a racism claim in there somewhere to force those paintings into some dark museum corner never to be seen again.

The BSA died years ago when it officially abandoned biblical principles of morality by endorsing homosexuality.

Organized Christian religion in the West is being ruined by homosexuals posing as clergy much the way the Boy Scouts was ruined by homosexuals posing as Scoutmasters and being allowed leadership positions. Norman Rockwell would not want his work in the hands of such an organization.

allowing each chartered organization (70% of which are religious organizations) to establish criteria BSA cut them loose to fend for themselves. Made it easy work for homosexual groups to pick off the troops one at a time.

There is no such entity as the “Boy Scouts”. There was at one time, my son is an Eagle Scout. My grandson will not be.

I read the article and the "art expert and critic" did her best to disparage and degrade these paintings - I'm sure hoping that the scouts will get far less money than they're worth.

This is just another organization that molded young men into great leaders that was destroyed by the left wing. They are winning and we are letting them win.

But, in order to be trendy and “woke”, the bsa will continue to allow fags/libertarians/pedophiles to participate in the bsa? Got it. Makes sense. /s

What could go wrong allowing homosexual men to guide young boys. Why do does a pedophile man want to supervise in the Boy Scouts, because it’s where the boys are.
