The Boy Scouts of America, one of the nation’s largest private youth organizations, is actively considering an end to its decades-long policy of banning gay scouts or scout leaders, according to scouting officials and outsiders familiar with internal discussions.
If adopted by the organization’s board of directors, it would represent a profound change on an issue that has been highly controversial -- one that even went to the US Supreme Court. The new policy, now under discussion, would eliminate the ban from the national organization’s rules, leaving local sponsoring organizations free to decide for themselves whether to admit gay scouts.
“The chartered organizations that oversee and deliver scouting would accept membership and select leaders consistent with their organization’s mission, principles or religious beliefs,” according to Deron Smith, a spokesman for the Boy Scouts’ national organization.
Individual sponsors and parents “would be able to choose a local unit which best meets the needs of their families,” Smith said.
The discussion of a potential change in policy is nearing its final stages, according to outside scouting supporters. If approved, the change could be announced as early as next week, after the BSA's national board holds a regularly scheduled meeting.
Only seven months ago, the Boy Scouts affirmed a policy of banning gay members, after a nearly two-year examination of the issue by a committee of volunteers convened by national leaders of the Boy Scouts of America, known as the BSA.
In a statement last July affirming the ban, its national executive board called it “the best policy for the organization.”

Those who choose to engage in homosexual sex are quite disordered. Always a minority -some were morally devoid leftists without conscience that enjoyed perverting truth and imposing their sick and perverted sense of justice upon people. Some were Nazis then, some are Democrats now -all with few exceptions are morally bankrupt useful idiots for evil. They seek to corrupt the Boy Scouts now.
>>it really has no bearing on this discussion.
Perversion of the LDS capital city is an open FACT,
...and it has plenty of bearing on this discussion when the ponzi-scheming, state-established religious ladder-climbers pretentiously presume to impose their opinions upon others.
NO SALE.

OK, I get it — you had a close brush with a pedophile in your youth that you associate with the LDS people running the Scout camp. From this you’ve extrapolated your views on all things LDS so they can’t possibly run their own youth organization separate from the BSA should the BSA choose to follow the path of least resistance.
Again, I get it and please note that I’m neither LDS nor am I in agreement with any part of their theology. I also was not particularly enamored of Romney as the presidential candidate for the GOP last year. We agree on that much.
Please note I’ve added the Admin Moderator to the address line because I wish no further interaction in this thread or via PM on this subject with you. I do not respond well to mean-spirited cyberstalking. This is your one and only warning from me.
read the pink swastika. the ww II nazis used that as a pretext to clean their own ranks of “high risk” embarrasments since homosexuals were very predominant in their ranks. you-know-who got his start by speaking in beer halls frequented by homosexuals. The brownshirts were a deviant club.
The new BSA will become the Brown-shirted SA to fulfill Obama’s dream of the National Civilian Security Force he so desires!
They already have the correct color shirt with the only thing missing is the proper indoctrination and sodomization!
It will be now more militant and looking even more fabulous!
Fox in the henhouse alert!
BSA must be out of their minds to even consider this.
Sure, the parents of America are willing and anxious to deliver their sons to the doorstep of perversion....NOT!
Nope, no close brush - just an awarenes of who Slusher was. That summer I had the pleasure of working at the rifle range with a cantankerous ol' former drill Sgt, not Loyd, the repeat offender pedophile.
Several years later there was another Mormon running PV. IIRC, there was a week or two where there were nothing but Mormon troops at PV. My impression was that Mormons had a substantial presence in various BSA councils around Colorado.Maybe it's the masonic nature of both that renders the association. That's just speculation. This, OTOH, is FACT:
Disclaimer: I have not read all the post. But I have 4 sons, all of whom where boy scouts. We have had really good experiences with the organization. 3 of my kids did Jamborees and it was an experience of a lifetime.
How will the boy scouts deal with the impending law suits of gay leaders fornicating with kids??
I guess we should no allow men who lust after little girls to be brownie leaders.

Ack, I was afraid of that
Please excuse the duplicate posts.
The Nazis sent those they perceived as inferior to themselves to the death camps. Thus the bull queers disposed of the weak effeminate ones.
It’s the same predatory relationship between miscreants that can be observed within prison populations today.
