I will say, there were rumors that a scout executive was a faggot back in teh 60s when I was in BSA, and he was quietly removed. Nothing ever happened AFAIK, but now, he’d have the run of the place...

Scouting was good for me, but now - I hope they fail.

The one thing not yet said: “Was the ‘fix’ in?”

Basically, was the vote rigged ahead of time, by the same type of experts who created massive vote fraud in local, state and national elections?

This suggests one of two things: either the council membership had been infiltrated, or someone got control over the ballot boxes.

This could also be a “natural change”, such as happened in the 1970s, when the BSA *stupidly* decided to integrate inner city youths, resulting in the most universally despised edition of the Boy Scout manual, and one or more nearly destroyed Boy Scout camps, when the “Yoots” went on a vandalism rampage and destroyed everything, including cabins, plumbing, electrical, all their food, several vehicles, etc., in the best “Lord of the Flies” tradition.

As to that awful manual, it eliminated outdoorsmanship, and replaced it with a worthless assortment of politically correct feel good crapola, as if it had been written by Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank.

Fortunately, the BSA got its act back together during the Reagan years, dispensed with the nonsense, and gave up on the barbaric inner city yoots as a lost cause.

But, apparently the pendulum has swung back in the direction of dumbass. Unless it was foisted on them with treachery.

I know we've fallen far, but I didn't believe I live to see them JC Penny the BSA.

Can't see how that will help them and I worry about the greater consequences for the rest of US.

In the intense spiritual warfare being waged around us, that was a major battle lost.

So much for parents who enrolled their sons due to the BSA providing a “safe, moral environment.” Anyone remaining in this disgrace of an organization gets no respect from me.

“..A couple staunch gay-rights supporters have risen to key leadership positions in BSA’s national leadership and are pushing for the change..”

This how the gay and other far left movements have taken over churches, universities and many once worthy organizations. It is their modus operendi

[Fiji Hill]

Sounds as though homosexual activists wormed their way into the BSA’s leadership and took over the entire organization.

[whatshotandwhatsnot]

Next up - changing the name from “Boy” (racist doncha know) to “Homie”. PC run amok - still.

[tumblindice]

They decided to keep the pedophiles out. For now. That’s some consolation ...

[greene66]

The people who made and approved these changes to the BSA are the moral equivalents of child molesters. May they all burn in the hottest corners of hell.

[CodeToad]

This is what happens when you let liberals take over the executive leadership of your organization: Faggotry.

[onedoug]

I still have my 1960s BSA Handbook to cling to.

What blew my mind was the mormon church - which has nearly 30% of all chartered troops is just fine with this.

The same church that was behind Prop 8 in Califlower.

So, Gay marriage bad, gay kids OK?

I think they lost their bible or whatever....

[sten]

if you put your boys into the scouts...
and they get molested...

YOU should be arrested for willful child endangerment

same with the entire upper echelon of BSA

From the article:

"Reports are that BSA has asked hotel staff to confiscate any literature or leaflets that are not approved by BSA’s top leadership—
meaning anything that disagrees with the proposed change.
These leaders organized an “informational” meeting for the voting delegates, mostly dedicated to persuading delegates to change BSA’s longstanding policy.
This becomes all the more interesting since all three of Texas’ most prominent statewide leaders—Gov. Rick Perry, Sen. John Cornyn, and Sen. Ted Cruz—have openly encouraged the Scouts to maintain the current policy.

As an example of the muzzling tactics in play,
one supporter of the traditional policy went to the FedEx shop in the Gaylord to print copies of the Dallas Morning News ad presenting the reasons for maintaining the current policy.
This was to counter the USA Today op-ed from BSA’s Chief Scout Executive Wayne Perry—
leading the effort to change the current policy—that was distributed in the hotel.

The traditional policy supporter was suddenly confronted by Daron Smith, the PR Director for BSA, accompanied by two hotel security guards with earpieces and handheld radios,
who told him he would not be allowed to distribute the literature within the hotel.
It also seems that outside literature was not allowed from the other side, either,
but such literature would seem unnecessary after the USA Today piece.

When confronted, the FedEx manager admitted that when he saw the handouts being printed in the shop
that he contacted the hotel to tip off BSA staff so they could respond.

It’s also being reported by those onsite that media reporters are not being allowed inside the Gaylord.
Anyone familiar with how lobbying works knows it should raise eyebrows
when people don't allow reporters or cameras to cover events on the ground."

So pro-Homosexual Leaders in the Boy Scouts Of America don't believe in fairness or in free speech.

If Boy Scout membership doesn’t decline by at LEAST 30% I’ll be surprised.

“.....a wholesome and all-American reputation....”

Not anymore, all of that just died.

Today, the Beast has won this battle, he should be pleased.

There is no way in the world that I would have allowed my son to be a part of this demented nonsense. Thank God he is normal and is now a grown man that I, his father, is very proud of.

[who knows what evil?]

Some great comments on the Sodom Scouts facebook page...

My son will not be joining your organ - ization.

LOL!
