Morally Bent.
I just sent the BSA National Headquarters an email, telling them that the BSA is dead to me.
The homos will throw some money at them, with strings attached, but the national leadership of the BSA has shown to all of us that they are immoral whores of the perverts.
The BSA will disappear in ten years.
This is very sad. As a result of this decision, I will see to it that none of my Grandsons will become scouts as I did. I know that their parents will agree with me on this.
What a splendid gift to the sodomites . . . and may the BSA go to hell!
This is a great opportunity for people of Christian faith to fill a vacuum. The BSA had a good run, but compromised its foundation. It is time to start anew.
This vote is just like the Munich Accord. The BSA leadership has given the homosexual groups the Sudetenland hoping it will cause the homosexuals to leave them alone.
It will not work. It will only cause the homosexuals to demand more.
The BSA leadership has sacrificed principle for peace. They will get neither.
Took my grandson out last evening. I wasn’t the only parent who arrived at the meeting to turn in their “resignation” last night.
Today I plan to e-mail the Scouts and explain. There is no way that they can allow openly gay boys and not have activist gay “parents” who push their agenda. I want to be the one that decides what my grandson learns with regard to gender relationships. I chose Scouts because they have in the past offered wonderful models for manhood. Just very sad.
This is just as sad as the Girl Scouts association with abortion now through Komen and Planned Parenthood.
Buckling under to this perversion now re-defines the entire BSA for what it is... yellow-bellied cowards. That’s what the Scouting uniform now stands for: cowardice and sodomy. The Boy Scouts are a disgrace to not only their century-old heritage, but a disgrace to God and country.
Burn in hell, BSA. Burn in the darkest corner of hell, you disgusting cowards. I truly spit on you!
I hope BSA quickly reverses this decision or is destroyed by mass defections, but I think both are unlikely. Most scouts will probably compromise and refuse to stand for morality, even though they’ve pledged to be morally straight. Openly homosexual scouts, aka homosexual advocates, will be allowed to join and proselytize—so long as they don’t have sex with other scouts of course.
I’d love to be proven wrong! I’d like to believe most or a significant number of scouts will stand on principle and walk away from the BSA. I just don’t think it’s going to happen.
BTW, this particular policy change is NOT an end in itself. It’s just a wedge driven into the BSA which will be used to lever the organization into full acceptance of sexual deviants, including as scout leaders. It may take a bit more time, but that’s where the BSA is heading.
Morally straight? What a joke!
I am a Scoutmaster. Our meeting was last night 5/23. I tended my resignation effective 12/31/2013, or sooner if the Troop Committee sees fit. Several Scouts including my two sons, one 6 months from Eagle and the other about 1 year away from Eagle, also said that they are leaving on that date. Several other Scouts will follow. This is a heart breaking day.
With this policy a Scout must choose between being true to the Scout Oath and Law as they are intended, or remain in Scouting. We choose the Oath and Law.
Soon to be former Scoutmaster
Troop 603
Pathetic cowardice. Morally bent is the truth. RIP BSA.
The BSA has chosen.
I am boxing up all mine and my son’s badges and awards and sending the to BSA HQ.
The Gay Lobby waited approximately 2 minutes before announcing that this was not good enough and they would continue to press for more.
The Gaystapo, construing this as a mandate to not just permit, but to PROMOTE open homosexual activism in the BSA, will now DEMAND to have a major hand in crafting the new regulations and policies in the organization, which they will be granted. There will be a homosexual "auxiliary" ensconced in the national organization that will never be dislodged.
A few naive national leaders with good intentions no doubt believed that this policy change meant that homosexuality would be rendered "not relevant" to consideration as a youth member. The way it will be cast is as overwhelming affirmation of the homosexual lifestyle.
Does everyone recognize that this "revised" proposal is actually WORSE than what was proposed earlier in the year? Instead of entire districts/councils deciding for themselves what membership criteria would be with regard to homosexuality, the homosexual acceptance policy is now incumbent on ALL scouting units, regardless of their wishes. How is that a "compromise?"
On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to liberalism, then country, to flout the scout laws, to help other people when I feel like it, to keep myself physically primped, mentally challenged, and "morally obtuse".
To those of you in the Boy Scout Leadership, you should be ashamed of your decision. As a parent, I would remove my child from this organization, as its morals have been corrupted by societal demands.
As an Eagle Scout, I say "Damn You" for corrupting our youth. You're no longer the organization that I once cherished.
My letter to the Boy Scouts, sent this morning:
For the life of me, I cannot understand how the once great organization known as the Boy Scouts has caved on the homosexual issue. We parents are not fools, we know that this is the slippery slope to admitting openly gay leaders in the near future, thereby putting our children at risk. I am disgusted and seriously considering withdrawing my children and finding an alternative organization that shares the same values that I hold dear.
As far as I am concerned, the leaders of the Boy Scouts are nothing but a bunch of cowards who have absolutely no backbone whatsoever.
You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Go ahead and let them know how you feel.
Not sure what that means. It sounds as if Perkins believes there is a way for some scout councils to not implement the new policy, or some way to neutralize its impact. By most accounts its a policy change that all troops must follow and there is no ongoing opportunity to change it.
I think it’s healthy for the gay scouts to get a moral upbringing from the organization, so I support the organization accepting them. There’s a lot more to life than sexuality. They will learn valuable life skills and their own strengths and weaknesses will be tested in a number of situations throughout the program. Our cub scout troop had a gay den leader, a very fine person. She was a much more responsible and moral person than half the parents who sent their spoiled, socially inept kids to be babysat once a week.
