The Boy Scouts of America is considering dropping a longtime ban on gay members, according to a spokesman.

“The BSA is discussing potentially removing the national membership restriction regarding sexual orientation,'' spokesman Deron Smith said in a statement obtained by FoxNews.com. "This would mean there would no longer be any national policy regarding sexual orientation, but that the chartered organizations that oversee and deliver Scouting would accept membership and select leaders consistent with their organization’s mission, principles or religious beliefs."

The Boy Scouts of America is considering dropping

They're not "considering", they've been forced by the govt.......A recent lawsuit said they can't discriminate against homosexuals. They have no choice in the matter......

And to what gain? What moral value is being served? Baden Powell must be rolling in his grave.

This is a very sad and strange time for the formerly great nation of America.

Well, if this comes to pass, the BSA has seen the very last donation from me.

I think there are many that would no longer contribute their sons to the Boy Scouts.

As a former Scoutmaster for 11 years and a supporter of the Boy Scouts the past 24 years. This is a decision will make it impossible for me to support the BSA any longer. This is a travesty to all previous Scouts & supporters. Looks like I will be supporting the RA (Royal Ambassadors).

We hear “Not all gays are phedophiles”. But in scouting all gays are phedophiles. The temptations is to great.

If they do that the BSA will no longer receive yearly contributions from me!

You & me both!

More importantly however, I cannot even fathom or imagine that ANY parent would send their 8-12 yr old boy on any camping trip any longer. In fact I would not trust even the scout meetings held at churches or schools. It's not like there has never been any molestation occurring in these institutions in the past.

How could any legitimate parent with an ounce of decency or common sense, put their young son into a predator rich environment for some homosexual queer pedaphile to fondle, molest & even sodomize?

There's a reason the homos & queers want to be in the BSA. After all, what better place to coerce & recruit young boys into debauchery then in an environment filled with young boys.

If this does happen, I hope & pray that the BSA sees all their membership rolls plummet & go out of existance.

After I departed my troop, I heard stories about specific scouts that I knew from the troop. It turns out that some of them were queer and preying on the younger scouts on camping trips. One of the assistant scoutmasters was caught molesting young children at the daycare facility operated by his wife. He went to prison. His son dropped out of sight. The "two deep" rules appeared after I left. That would not have done anything to stop the predatory scouts going after other scouts.

“There’s a reason the homos & queers want to be in the BSA. After all, what better place to coerce & recruit young boys into debauchery then in an environment filled with young boys.”

I’ve gone camping/backpacking with my sons; they’ll never spend a day in the Boy Scouts for that very reason. I appreciate the stand the Scouts have already taken, but like the clergy there is a first time for everything. My sons aren’t going to be anyone’s first victim. Not all people involved in scouting or the clergy or education are pedophiles, but pedophiles do gravitate towards those fields for that very reason (access).

The Marxist march through all of our institutions is now about complete including the church. The Boy Scouts is one of the last ones.

Good Morning Amerika!

Excellent post and excellent points. Pantheism, sodomy,violence (not to mention feudalism but that’s another post!) etc is the default mode of human beings without the Judeo-Christian order.

Another victim on the Left’s attack on traditional American masculinity.

It is no accident that they have targeted so many institutions that promote godliness, moral absolutes, integrity, self-reliance, boldness, a willing to fight for one’s belief, a willing to fight to defend others.

That is why they have attacked our military, manly sports, and the BSA for the past two decades.

They want a nation of limp-wristed, faggot sheep that are terrified of all the big bad wolves out there and seek the herd to protect them.

If the BSA does this, they get no more funding from me as caving from the pressure of a perverse homosexual lobby in order to infiltrate the organization and subvert its purpose by “recruiting” young boys is antithetical to what their purpose used to be.

You are reading too much into this. National is saying that they will bow out of this and leave it to the local councils to decide what they want to do. For 99% of the country this would mean no change to the eligibility requirements for scout leadership. They also specify that charter partners have a say so too can you see LDS or Catholic church agreeing to this? Now a few local councils San Fran and Mass come to mind may chose to allow gay scout leaders. We will see where that road takes them. As conservatives do we not always preach that the level closest to the people should make the local calls. This is BSA national in Texas saying OK you out there in scout land make your own decision. National is about the $ and always has been.
