Our Troop has had a policy for many years that was put into place after a single, unaffiliated man volunteered to be our Scoutmaster when no one else wanted to take the job. A few months later, he was caught trying to molest a Scout (the kid fought like hell and made a lot of noise, which saved him).
The policy is pretty simple:
Parents and guardians can come on any campout.
New leader applicants must be affiliated with a Scout (father, brother, uncle, guardian, Big Brother, etc.) and proof of such affiliation must be presented to the Troop Committee.
New Leader applicants must undergo a background check immediately (we pay for this, not the BSA). A new Leader Applicant must then camp with us for at least a year and must complete Assistant Scoutmaster training. At that point, the Scoutmaster either recommends or does not recommend the New Applicant to the Troop Committee. If no one on the TC has a problem, then the New Applicant meets with the Charter Organization Rep (the pastor of the church) to seek his clearance. The pastor grills the applicant during this session and looks for “sincerity” above all else. If the New Applicant passes, he then fills out the registration form and we sign it and it goes to Council for another background check. If OK, he/she then is registered.
In the last 30 years, we have not had a gay leader or any incidents of inappropriate behavior.
As for Scouts, we abide by the Scouting rule that no leader can talk about anything sexual with a minor. If a Scout tells a SM or ASM that they are sexually actively and gay or having sex with their girlfriend, it instantly becomes a “counseling event” and we bring in the parents. If, in front of their parents, the Scout admits or tells us they are sexually active, whatever orientation, they are immediately removed from the Troop. If we are presented with external proof of a Scout being sexually active (a pregnant girlfriend), they are out. We have had this happen few times over the past 12 years I have been with the Troop.
We have over 120 Eagle Scouts on our alumni list. Some of them are now openly gay. We just ignore it. But, even our aged-out Eagle Scouts must reapply as a New Leader Applicant if they want to camp with the Troop or become a leader.
I imagine if National passes their “unit rights” rule, we will publish the above and carry on as usual.
What will you do at Jamborees or scout camp where your boys will be meeting with boys from other troops? It won't be enough to keep your troop "clean." The whole BSA must be kept clean.
