Nothing wholesome or good will come from this.
Let every church know in your area about the danger in having their children in Scouts.
The “Pedophile Scouts” doesn’t seem to have the same ring to it.
Still a bad policy. If I had been a Scoutmaster out with a troop containing one gay kid, if he so much as stopped to pee I’d called the cops to pick him up.
If this is true... Who wants to bet that the BSA is gone in less than ten years?
So...too *many* perverts in the Catholic Church,too *few* perverts in the Boy Scouts.To Maoists the right balance of perverts seems very difficult to achieve.
Notice how the Boy Scouts are changing policy based on cultural trends rather than remaining unchanged based on absolute moral principles (which dont change). This is a sell out to liberalism and relativism.
That’s it. If you’ve got a kid in the scouts, pull him out. They want to do this, they face the consequences.
Organizational suicide by political correctness. See ya, BSA! It was nice while it lasted!
Everywhere perversion is triumphant.
There is much erroneous information in the Reuters story. If you want to read the resolution for yourself go here:

Also there is info there on the breakouts of the survey. Bottom line is 72% of the charter organizations oppose ANY change, and roughly 2/3 of the members oppose ANY change.
The resolution still needs to be voted on in May so this battle is not over — even if the press wants to say it is.
“no youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone,”
I thought this was already policy as for scout membership. This says nothing about allowing fag leaders.
I just read the synopsis. 3 of 4 council regions and the majority of Scout leaders, especially Boy Scout leaders like myself support the current policy and oppose a change. Most corporate funding groups also support the current policy. Pathetically, they also surveyed 30 other youth serving organizations. 28 oppose current policy, one mildly supports it and one is neutral. Apparently they didn’t bother to contact American Heritage Girls with whom they have a strategic alliance for their opinion.
So will there be a corn holing merit badge now? I hate what is happening to this once proud nation. And the pace seems to be picking up too.
Sounds like the fix is in, somehow. Obviously the majority of scout leaders and scout parents are against this. This is being pushed through against majority will like so many other liberal agenda items have been over the last few decades.
That this could happen in such a large private organization is disheartening. My older son is an Eagle already and my younger son is on his way. If this actually happens, we will have to do some serious rethinking.
My boys are out of the program. Too bad.
Scouts
Every family should immediately withdraw their sons before they are preyed upon.
