******************************
The executive committee of the Boy Scouts of America has unanimously
approved a resolution that would end the organization's blanket ban on
gay adult leaders and let individual Scout units set their own policy on
the long-divisive issue. Units sponsored by churches opposed to the
change could maintain the ban if they choose.

Saw this on the news last night. Disgusting.
ReplyDeleteFirst I heard of it.
DeleteI wonder what the long term impact of this will be. I suspect scouting is turning into a baby sitting alternative for single moms at this point and they are getting what they pay for. As single moms increase, scouting stays alive.
ReplyDeleteI was in the Boy Scouts, made it to Life Scout, the one under Eagle and was pursuing that but I got the fumes... perfume and car fumes and turned eighteen. I wish I had achieved it and now I could take it and give it back and tell them where to shove it, right where gay scout leaders spend most of their life with. I am ashamed of ever being a scout, it was a group dedicated to a wholesome, (Christian) experience to build charachter and men, now it is pc and grooming poofters. I will never give a red cent or my time to this organization.
ReplyDeleteI never made it pass Cub Scouts. :)
DeleteNever forget Why the Scouts banned homosexual leaders in the first place; a marked propensity to molest the boys under their care.
ReplyDeleteBut then, that is the next PC "Civil Rights" crusade anyway isn't it?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't being a scout long enough and reaching a certain level qualify a scout to become an officer or at least ROTC cadet in the military?
ReplyDeleteYou've seen the ROTC folks in semi-drag uniform and SECDEF is going to lift the transgender ban. Seems like the Scouts are keeping pace with the standards set forth by said military.
I'm sure it doesn't qualify to be an officer since four years in a ROTC military school only qualifies you to enter the army as a PFC. At least that's the way it was when I went.
DeleteScouting and rotc are unrelated. The us military currently confers no benefit or recognition to former scouts.
