I'm not quite sure of why the long "preparation" time is needed to implement the policy. It's instructive that both the BSA and military need to "carefully implement" these changes over a significant period of time. If it's a no-brainer and all that popular a position, why is the kid-glove's care needed?

But, of course, the pro-resolution officials knew that the new policy would de facto in effect immediately. The long "implementation" period will be used by homo-fascists to inundate top officials with demands to design the new queerified BSA into their own image, and the top officials will, of course, cave.

But, as you stated, a lot can happen through the rest of the year. Hopefully, the organization will completely implode through the massive exit of money and members. This is really our only hope.

Maybe I'm just being too linear in my thinking. My thoughts are that ...

1. They have to re-print the new membership registration forms.

2. Edit the Guide to Safe Scouting.

Of course, so much of this stuff is digital these days and available on council web-sites.

3. Do you suppose there are some liability insurance contracts that have to be re-negotiated?

4. To paraphrase Distinguished Eagle Scout and former SoS Donald Rumsfeld, "There must be some other known unknowns."
