there fixed it...
On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake and morally straight.

As long as they continue to enforce the oath the boys the to be sexually abstinent, I.e. morally straight, this will have less of an impact than might be expected.

Still no gay Scout leaders. That’s good news.

Until the parents of the gay boy sues for his son being “bullied” by the Christians in the organization.

Seems to me that the Boy Scouts and their parents need to fire this board of directors and hire another.

Agreed. They are responsible for this needless controversy.

The announcement also mentions a new “Coming Out” merit badge that looks like a rainbow...

1) Today’s Gay Scouts will be tomorrow’s Gay Scout Leadership.
2) How does a boy who joins Scouts at somewhere between 6 and 11 even know if he is gay? Sheesh...

They just hit on the solution, “The Gay Scouts.” Like the BSA only more “festive.”

Depending on what happens, they will not see another dime from me....they will see my Badge, and OA Sash, my Eagle Scout patch, medal, and certificate. I will disavow myself from BSA.
