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."
Thank you for pointing out these FACTS regarding sodomites-sodomy goes hand-in-hand with pedophilia.
Welcome. Make sure you pass it on to other sites. People here are well-informed, others simply believe the holywood promotional of deviance. We need to out the gays for what they really represent.
My youngest daughter scolded me on Facebook this morning for passing judgement on this issue. She apparently believes gays are not evil. I refuse to compromise my values, nor turn away from God's Law. Family gatherings may be thinner in the near future.
I can’t think of a more revolting, disgusting, immoral, and dangerous thing than the BSA allowing the 1 or 2 % of the population to run the fine BSA! So now they are considering to allow the Sandusky’s of Perversion to take our boys on camping trips out in the middle of No Where to be propagandized, raped and disecrated! NO WAY! My Eagle Medal w Silver Palm will be returned to the BSA if that ever happens!

Battle hardened Marines make excellent scoutmasters; they turn boys into men without the pain of emotions getting in the way.
I served before all this turd poking crap but have pals still serving. I know of not one combat unit guy who wants these cross dressers and turd pokers . At an event last weekend I met another soldier who has just got back from Afghanistan and I asked him about this . He told me he and many others are leaving because of this and that right after don’t ask was overturned an officer came into the PX and was wearing a dress. Obviously there were looks laughter and comments along with much disgust . I said how come no one said anything and he replied many want to kick the crap out of him as he was embarrasing the unit in front of other armies there. He said no one could though because they would now end in jail. He also said he knows of no one respecting this officer and moral is really low over there. He and I talked for a long time and also said women in combat roles was wrong and the public now has a false view if the militRy and the military has becalmed a joke under this clown. This crap has got to stop and be overturned and social isues need to be raised and defended because the left have advanced their agenda due to many cowards on our side.
Very disappointing news. If this policy is adopted, I’ll probably let my older teenaged sons make their own decision on whether or not to drop out. But the youngest has been wanting to join the Boy Scouts... What to do? I’ll have to look for another organization for him to join.
I saw several posts about how the BSA needs to be like the Episcopal Church! I suppose that includes plummeting membership and no money except from suing traditionalist dissidents.
Thanks be to God I got my family out of TEC, but I am sad that it looks like I will have no choice but to resign as an assistant scoutmaster and get my son out of Scouting as well. He really wanted to be an Eagle, like I am.
A friend of my wife was at a party and a woman asked about another woman who became a homosexual to which my wifes friend told everyone that she has no desire to ever see her now and she will not let her daughter ever go near the woman. My wifes friend stood for her beliefs as does my wife though sadly millions do not have her courage and conviction and instead would rather be sheep or cowards. Whilst people remain cowards on our side and not call the media , not send mail , call elected officials and that does not just include our own then the radical communist from the 60’s will win . Also when the he’ll is our side going to get groups like media matters etc and get organized and go after the corrupt media and the left , go on the attack instead of always Reacting to what the lunatics do
I had no idea. The scales have fallen from my eyes.Thanks again.
Inside job, just like the churches (United Methodists, ELCA Lutheran Synod, some of the Presbyterians, and the Episcopalians). Someone's been working this from the inside, and someone got dirt on some board members so Barky's boys -- Axelgrease, Kevin Jennings, Rahm -- could get in there and threaten people. MHO.
Reversing the James Dale outcome has been a top priority of the butt pirates ever since 2000.
Also, an Eagle and past council executive board officer. I read B-P's biography 10 years ago.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Baden_Powell
The Boy-Man: The Life of Lord Baden-Powell, by Tim Jeal, © 1990
Baden-Powell founded the world-wide Scouting movement in the UK during 1907. Tim Jeal's biography of B-P discusses his relationship with his close army friend, Kenneth McLaren.[46]:217–218[47]:48 Jeal concludes that there is no conclusive evidence that this friendship was physical[7]:82. He then examines Baden-Powell's views on women, his appreciation of the male form, his military relationships, and his marriage, indicating that Baden-Powell could have been a repressed homosexual.[7]:103 Jeal's conclusion is shared by some biographers and disputed by others, but not yet examined in any detail by scholars.[48]:6 (The evidence has to be viewed in the context of the times (just like studying the Bible, i.e., Victorian England. It is difficult for modern Americans to appreciate this.)
1. His father was an Anglican minister. He died when B-P was 3 years old. His widowed mother raised him along with 6 siblings. She was a strong woman who was determined that her children would succeed in life.
2. B-P had a very close friendship with Kenneth McLaren in their early army service years. McLaren would later marry and die while relatively young.
3. He had very few, if any, female friends over the course of his life.
4. There is no evidence of him ever having a romantic girl friend.
5. His record of correspondence expressed apathy for the female body.
6. His record of correspondence showed a keen appreciation for the male body.
7. His record of correspondence with the headmaster of his old public school, Charterhouse School, included a request to see, again, a photo album of nude male students.
8. As a child, his sense of dramatics was encouraged which developed into a fondness for acting out skits and plays.
9. He was especially fond of the play/book, “Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up” which appeared in 1904.
10. He married Olave St Clair Soames in 1912 when he was 55 and she was 23 (5 years after he founded the Scouting movement in the UK.) Her father thought B-P led her own in hopes of marriage. The evidence does not indicate B-P behaved improprely. Her father threatened to publically humiliate B-P if he did not marry his daughter.
11. The evidence suggested that their marriage was not romantically passionate.
12. After siring 3 children with Olave, he arranged separate bedrooms for Olave and him in their home for the rest of his life.
13. An account of an incident which happened in the early years of Scouting in the U.K. was included. B-P was pioneering the start of a long term encampment for boys (i.e., summer camp) and training center for adult volunteers. His friend, William McLaren, purchased the Cranshaw estate in Sewardstonebury, Epping Forest, close to Chingford, London. He went on to donate the property to the Scout Association in 1919. This property became known as Gilwell Park and is still in use today. Anyway, there was an incident in the 1920s at Gilwell Park where an adult Scouter sexually molested a youth Scout during an encampment. This problem has plagued Scouting since its earliest days.
I’ve been slacking on pinging. The stress is making me feel sick to my stomach daily.
This is the crap cherry on ths **** cake.
I’ll ping it out tonight.
But see our FRiend's post above, about the GLBT NGO's running sympathetic liberal executives at the BSA board.
Part of this, as another FRiend suggested, is to horrify and drive off existing BSA financial supporters, further weakening them and "bringing them into [sodomy] camp."
God help our Scouting friends.
Oh, for God's sake! He was an Englishman!
Someone is "trying us on" with that one .... lots of English husbands were lecherous but never romantic or "passionate". In fact, George S. Patton, in the late '30's, turned down a plum assignment to the London embassy because he had a teenaged daughter and knew what "a certain type" of English "gentlemen" was like, having served with them in World War I and having heard them talk about the distaff side candidly, among themselves.
No, that one won't wash as evidence for homosexuality. Sorry.
