I am a Mormon Scout Master and a proud homophobe, and I don’t believe that the LDS Church endorsed homosexual scout membership, but basically decided not to leave the scout organization over it.
Truthfully, in the function of everyday LDS scout troops, I don’t expect any changes.
Most of the Scouts in the LDS troops are LDS, and the few who are non-LDS who attend are generally in agreement with LDS morals. If a scout member lds or non-lds is immoral they may be subject to a bishops interview and approval for continuation in the scouting program.
I think most of your knee-jerk reaction to the LDS church staying with the scouting program is your own religious or homosexual problems.
The LDS Church and its members will continue to implement an example of Christ’s teachings regardless of an imperfect world, culture or scouting organization.
Curious diagnosis. I'm not sure exactly what is knee-jerk in my reaction. I acknowledged that, in principle, I support the position that sexual behavior has no place in Scouting and that I also supported the previous BSA de facto position that would not exclude some random 12-year-old who happened to think he might be gay.
So yes, I do think that Mormon influence facilitated that resolution. My reaction to the LDS position is that while almost no harm will come to Mormon troops, the same cannot be said for the rest of Scouting as the door is now opened and may not be easily closed to prevent the BSA from accepting homosexuals in position of leadership.
As for the question of my own religious or homosexual problems, I'll just assume that was an accidental attempt at an insult which I prefer not to address.
