The Boy Scouts of America is expected to end its ban on gay adult leaders on Monday, dismantling a policy that has deeply divided the membership of the 105-year-old Texas-based organization.
The Boy Scouts National Executive Board will consider a resolution that was unanimously approved by the organization’s executive committee on July 13. The organization is urging an end to the ban because of "sea change in the law with respect to gay rights."

Are you for real? Obviously never a Scout.
The Boy Scouts have a long history of being the very best for growing responsible young men.
Be Prepared, is more than just a slogan. BSA will survive this queer-bob assault. The current National Committee will be long gone when the impact of this soaks in and sounder minds will again prevail.
They won’t..... that is the left’s point.
Elections have consequences.
there is far more to life than dreamin of heaven
“Another once proud organization that caved to **democrats and liberals.**”
You misspelled “lawyers”
From the article: The organization is urging an end to the ban because of "sea change in the law with respect to gay rights."
That's a LIE. The BSA won their case in the Supreme Court in 2001, confirming their right to freedom of association. They didn't have to endorse homosexuality in any form or measure, or atheism either.
The change in policy is an unforced error. The leadership made the decision because they think they'll raise more corporate contributions.
They abandoned G-d, the Scout Oath, and any remaining semblance of integrity over money.
They whored themselves out for corporate money.
I guess it’ll be just another sex club for men and little boys.....
Time to set up a separate organization affirming the Christian values of the original Boy Scouts.
I imagine the potential loss of funding weighed heavily in this decision. Doesn’t matter. The left will always hate the Boy Scouts no matter how much they capitulate. Sore winners, they.

It’s beyond solid my FRiend.

That's not the exact way I put it, but yes that is essentially what has happened. And I just heard this morning that the vote was 45-12 last night in favor of allowing homosexual scout leaders.
It's a sad milestone in the over 100-year history of the Boy Scouts.
Does anyone know who any of the 12 delegates who voted no?
It’s already shrinking from boys going into sports and other activities as it is. How could it get any worse?
Good question — I’d like to know who they are, how they got there and a few things about their politics.
Zipper, you have not abandoned the BSA. Rather, the BSA has abandoned you, plus they have abandoned the clearly stated values of the Scout Oath and Law.
