Sounds like MSNBC and a malcontent or two are trying to make this into something much more than it really is, but the pressure to make kids more accessible to predators won't let up.

(Plus, note the abuse of the word "controversial" to mean "My sicko friends and I don't like it".)

One deduces that, the proposal’s having been made, procedures require they “consider” it.

“Boy Scouts review controversial anti-gay policy.”

###

Normal people don't consider the long-held, highly admirable moral standards of a private organization, and the attempt to inculcate those standards into boys and young men as “controversial”.

Only propagandizing, hate-filled perverts, intent on the destruction of the moral fiber of America, who call themselves journalists, do.

The Two-Deep leadership has rendered the ban moot. The problem has always been that gay men join the troops and hide where you don’t find the problem until it is too late. It’s easier to deal with them openly.
I think gay Scouts are allowed. Half the time, they are just attention-whoring.

Policy should stand as is. Especially being in the field, the opportunities are too great for pedophiles to take advantage of young boys. Since I have not been involved in scouting since I was a kid, I wonder if they have a two adult policy to prevent where an adult and a kid are alone by themselves ?

Who signed off on Zach's eagle application ?

Make changes to the policy at the risk of killing the organization.I won’t support any childrens organization based on sexual preference.At that age sex need not be any part of it. No queer scout masters, period. These freaks need to join the priesthood if they want free access to young boys

If the Scouts cave on this, it will mean the end of the Scouts.

There’s a poll at the site, at the end of the article, for those who might want to FReep it, asking whether the BSA should change its anti-molester policy.

Right now, the results are:

The BSA’s problem was that they didn’t enforce the ban and as a result thousands of scouts were molested. Common sense tells you that you don’t send boys into the woods with homosexuals.

Just damn.

I spent last weekend helping my Eagle Scout son working on his son's Eagle project.

Should this decision be taken, I can see three generations of Scouts in my family walking away. Sadly, but walking away.

Outwardly gay adult males having unsupervised sleepovers with young boys. What could possibly go wrong?

It’s not like there is a track record of scout masters molesting young boys, is there? That only happens in the Catholic Church, I hear. And that’s because the Church is “evil” and supplies the young boys to the men and then covers everything up.

Schools would never do that. And the scouts have never needed to because gay men love boys and would NEVER do anything to harm them. < /sarc >

We had boys in our family molested in the boyscouts in the 70’s. It was a national pedophile ring set up in the Boy Scouts. If they do this, the boy scouts won’t be safe for boys anymore. They go to summer camps and on overnights with these pervs.

I hope they do not do this.

We don't support the Girl Scouts because of their policy of allowing lesbians to take little girls into the woods and their support of abortion. I don't even buy their cookies.

As for guys who like guys being Scout Masters? I do not want someone who is so weak willed as to have sexual conduct with someone with the same parts and willing to fiddle around in the back area, to be alone with my children or anyone's children. They can call it natural all they want, but it shows a weakness in their sexual restraint.

Yep, that was my first thought after ignoring the headline and reading the paragraphs posted above. Ironically, a story like this will only fire up the normal people who support the BSA and harden the resolve of the Boy Scouts to continue to turn away homosexual scout leaders who want to take little boys off into the woods.

Wahls ... delivered a petition bearing 275,000 signatures ...

If they all tossed $100 in the pot, they could start their own Queer Scout League and leave the Boy Scouts alone!

This is a flagrant violation of the Scout Oath. What part about being “morally straight” don’t they understand???
