You can give to the BSA on-line at
www.give2bsa.org. Or, you can go
here, enter in your Zip code to see where your local Council is, and give to them directly. Either way, your donation will go to your local Council.
Finally, you could call your local Council and ask where in your particular area there is a Boy Scout Troop, Cub Scout Pack, or Venture Crew. You could give them money, or goods, or services. You could even give them your time and expertise, which they need more than money, I can assure you.

The United Way in San Diego pulled this crap. The school PTA organizations followed suit. In response, I have torn up the United Way envelopes every year and I write a check to "Friends of Scouting" to provide direct funding.
United Way felt the sting as others followed my example. The donation forms and procedures were changed to allow specification of exactly the organization that is supposed to receive your donation. I still don't trust United Way. I still rip and write.

Now, they want to use property and funds that those groups they exluded help pay for, and now because doors are closing thats a problem? Do you want to play that game? Fine. Let's defund all the special items that cater to gay/lesbian/bisexual/transexual organizations and people. It comes out my taxes and I object.

No, there are a LOT of us out there. My son is out of the Scouts (for now, focusing on church activities), but that didn't stop us from donated earlier this year.
And we'll continue to support the scouts in every way.
It terrifies me that SCOTUS groped its way to a conclusion that freedom of association is a basic right by a squeaky-thin 5-4 majority.

The city didn't pay for it. The funds are going from the BSA to the city, not the other way around, to the tune of millions of dollars in the past in capital improvements and maintenance and staffing expense, and another $1.7 million now being put into the property that other organizations as well as the BSA use. Now the city wants to take that, apparently without compensation.

Just because they are gay does not mean they are pedophiles.Which is why the BSA does not ban homosexuals on the basis of a fear of pedophilia. They ban homosexuals who make an open declaration of their sexual preference because the majority of their sponsoring organizations believe homosexuality to be immoral, and that avowed homosexuals thus give a poor moral example to the youth.

Republicans ought to acquire the mailing list of the Boy Scouts ...The BSA mailing lists are not available to anyone. For any money. And it's been offered, believe me, especially by the outdoor equipment manufacturers, etc. Also, it is against BSA policy for their members to engage in political activities while in uniform or otherwise representing the BSA.

The fact that the Phillidelphia UW chooses not to contribute to the local BSA does not mean that other United Way organizations in other cities do the same. The last time I checked, the UW in my city still supported our local BSA chapter.
By giving to any UW chapter you are supporting the homosexual agenda. Every chapter gives a small percentage to the national org which uses that money to raise funds for several homosexual organizations.
So the end result is that UW taxes your contribution to the BSA in order to fundraise for perversion. You are far better off praying for the end of the UW and donating directly to the charity of your choice. (BSA or some other Godly charity)
