First, the policy applies only to youth members (males aged 11 thru 17

I recall reading somewhere that this age bracket is the most vulnerable to experiment with sex and are the most vulnerable for ssa. Anyone else have more details on this?

THIS is the demise of America.

Invent a law or condition or problem that is REALLY self excplanatory left alone ... but .. noooooooo ...

Then, pick the damned thing apart and end up with a violation of what the condition of society was in the first place.

e.g.;

The sky is hereby green
No it's not .. just a shade of aqua
the sky is not green, but also not blue

Henceforth the sky is more greeen than blue ... thus ... the sky is green..

I am so old, I remember when everyone was supposed to be celibate till they were married, and few married before 17. Let’s accept that back then this was observed in the breach at older ages. Why are we talking about sexual orientation of 11 year olds?

The latest count is that 9 councils have adopted the position of ignoring the adult ban. Those 9 councils are fully open to adult homosexuals. I am sure more will also adopt this position.

RIP BSA.
