They look on proudly as Cicilline says that "this troop's incredibly important stand to ensure that Scouting is available for all young men ... regardless of their sexual orientation" is "one small example of standing up to what's right and fair."

As far as I know, Scouting is open to all boys. It's the leadership that can't be gay.

Can anybody explain to me why gays are trying to change the Boy Scouts instead of forming the Rump Rangers where they can do the same things and be openly gay?

Because it has nothing to do with helping boys. It's all about advancing the gay agenda.

Shalom.

Not true. Scouting is only open to boys that pledge to uphold the Scout Law and Scout Oath (and thus cannot be atheists, as well).

However, National says that gays can join as long as they are not "avowed" gays. Thus, as long as they don't walk around declaring their sexual orientation, they can join.
