Meh, LDS opened the door.

From the article:

LDS leaders accepted gay, bisexual and transgender boys. They balked in the summer of 2015 when BSA accepted gay Scout leaders.

The Ctrl-Left has made an amazing amount of progress in their efforts to destroy everything good and decent in America. Those who say Obama was a complete failure are 100% wrong - the communist Kenyan/Indonesian did more damage to America than all our previous enemies in history combined.

Another part of Barack Obama’s true legacy.

For a period of time, our family had left the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, and we attended a Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod Church.

I though it rather odd that the LCMS had no problems in supporting and working with the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) but that the WELS had established their own version, Lutheran Pioneer Scouts.

Now it makes perfect sense.

Here’s a radical idea: I think the NRA should have a version of *real* Scouts, where they teach marksmanship, leadership and small-unit tactics.

I think they should do this for adults, too.

I scare myself sometimes.

Glad the Mormons will let Scouts continue if they are trying to complete the Eagle rank. Good goal.

When I was in this situation, I had a religious organization that was social (parties ski trips Etc.) along with the more rugged Explorer Program with the BSA. I believe these two sides of the program should be available for young adults.

I have no idea what the Mormons will implement, but the Eagle Scout rank is a well known achievement that will be hard to imagine a Mormon equivalent.

I personally understand that the Mormons are very influential in keeping Scouting available to American Boys. I am saddened to see this development. The Mormons could very well implement a dual approach and provide for the ongoing Scouting program supplemented with a church sponsored program of whatever they have in mind.

I guess every Church wants to be every thing to every body which is the only thing to explain why the scouts are there to begin with.

The Deseretian Reformed Egyptian Cult added a Ponzi Scheme merit badge yet?

Wouldn’t it make more sense to drop the scouting program for YOUNGER boys, who might be more impressionable?
