TITUSVILLE, Fla. (AP) - A Boy Scout leader faces charges that he fondled at least three members of his troop and showed them gay pornographic photos, police said. Robert King, 50, was held in Brevard County Jail on $75,000 bail Sunday after police charged him with lewd and lascivious molestation and exposure of sexual organs. King, who is married, confessed that exposed himself and showed the troop members pornography, Titusville police spokesman John Lau said.
Lau said King invited at least five boys to his home on Friday under the guise of preparing to build a Christmas float. The boys ranged in age from 10 to 12. Police became involved after at least one scout's parents learned of the incident Friday evening. King was arrested Saturday and appeared in court Sunday. The Central Florida Boy Scouts Council is investigating the case, district executive Kevin Litt said. Last month, the Boy Scouts of America announced that it would require criminal background checks of new adult volunteers beginning next year.

Validation of why gays should not be allowed to be Scout Leaders or be involved in any way with the Boy Scouts.

Sounds like we have a troop leader who needs to be awarded the Swimming in really deep water with an engine block chained to his ankles badge...

As a current Scoutmaster for a Troop here in Georgia, I soundly concur!

Sick, sick, sick....
Take this guy to a wooded area, unload the hunting rifle, and let the squirrels feed on the rotting carcass.

"Last month, the Boy Scouts of America announced that it would require criminal background checks of new adult volunteers beginning next year."What an incredibly sad statement about our society today.

Umm. No story here. Could we just move on?

The boys ranged in age from 10 to 12. Boy scouts? Or cubs? (Feed the bastard to a grizzly.)

"...Take this guy to a wooded area, unload the hunting rifle, and let the squirrels feed on the rotting carcass..." These incidents always trigger a lot of off-hand remarks like mine above and yours here, but the truth is that this SHOULD BE a death penalty crime.

What's more, will it do all that much to exclude freakos? Character references would seem in order.

Character references don't work. They give their pals in prestigious positions as references.

Plus -- not instead

If some of the parents had showed up to "help" build the float, he would not have had this opportunity. Moms and Dads are still the best sex-offender deterrant and always will be.

BSA accepts boys at 10 1/2 years. Typically, they are bridging from Webelos to Boy Scouts at this point.
To: MeneMeneTekelUpharsin
Let's see if this makes big local Florida news. My guess is, since it involves making gay men look like predators, it won't. OTOH, the local press might want to blow it up to make the Boy Scouts look bad.
They must have a real dilemma--trying to protect one of their favored classes (gays) while attacking one of their hated classes (Boy Scouts).

The organization, "Coalitions for Inclusive Scouting," which states that it is "dedicated to fostering discussion and education about the current state of the scouting program in the United States," clearly invites dialogue from the public. FReepers, please take a moment, on behalf of these boys, to discuss with and educate this (...a-hem...) group, to this sad news out of central FL.

***from their website:
Our Mission
NECIS is a grassroots organization based in New Hampshire that is dedicated to fostering discussion and education about the current state of the scouting program in the United States. It was formed in response to the discriminatory practices of the Boy Scouts of America with respect to religion and sexual orientation, and comprises individuals and organizations who want to find ways to both support the scouting program, and to make the benefits that scouting has to offer equally available to all youth.
...How should we respond when an outstanding organization does something terribly wrong? Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court gave the Boy Scouts of America the right to ban gays from their organization (BSA v. Dale). Just because an action is legal, however, does not mean that it is morally right. We believe that the leadership of the BSA is doing a double disservice to our youth when they deny wonderful opportunities to some while teaching harmful lessons of divisiveness and discrimination to the millions that remain in the program.
Do you know something we don't? Please drop us a line: info@inclusivescouting.net

I wish somebody would come upith a running total of the number of homosexual cases that the BSA has had to contend with over say the last five years.
The could uses these facts in their fight to prevent organizations for taking action against them because of their excluding homosexuals
