Scout leaders in Charleston respond to possible gay policy reversal (WVA)
WOWK ^ | Alanna Autler

The Boy Scouts of America is considering ending its national ban on membership based on sexual orientation.

Under the revision being considered, the different religious and civic groups that sponsor Scout units would be able to decide for themselves how to address the matter, CBS reported Monday.

Troops would have the option of either maintaining an exclusion of gays or opening up their membership.

BSA spokesman Deron Smith said under the proposed change... "the Boy Scouts would not, under any circumstances, dictate a position to units, members, or parents."

Leaders of Troop 64 in Charleston said they would defer to BSA in deciding its policy.

"We pretty much just follow whatever the policies are of the national organization, whatever votes they have at the different councils," said Kevin Abdalla, the assistant scout mater for Troop 64.

Seen it happen in other Jurisdictions. This is very sad, and you’ve nailed it one hundred percent. Get them out of the Churches - force them back into the schools, then force them to admit girls.

That will be the very next step. Wait and see. Make ‘gender inclusivity’, especially among the leadership, a requirement in order to operate.

Announcing the beginning of the Tiger Scouts.

Wilderness survival camping, learning to hunt and field dress a deer, hand to hand martial arts combat, how to build a log cabin, fix a car, bandage wounds, milk goats, and throw an axe accurately to hit a liberal fagbot in the forehead from thirty paces.

Dunno if the guy is Moslem but Abdalla is probably derived from Abdullah or abd Allah, meaning “slave of Allah.”

It is mangled enough that the family might no longer be Moslem.

10 Sure, individual units can do this and that. And boys move and transfer and don’t know what the situation is each time. I guess the onus is on them to find out, rather than trust they won’t be asked to go camping with people who find them sexually attractive.

I encourage all not to abandon ship, just yet. Wait a little longer to see how the dust settles. The backlash may well create a schism just like what happened to the Girl Scouts recently. The 1st rule of thumb for protection is to not let your son join a pack/troop chartered to 1 of the following churches, i.e., they have chosen to go down the path of the "world" = inclusiveness/diversity/social justice/apostasy ...

1. TEC = The Episcopal Church
2. ELCA = Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
3. PCUSA = Presbyterian Church in the USA
4. UCC = United Church of Christ
5. DoC = Disciples of Christ/ The Christian Church
6. Moravian Church
7. U/U = Universalist-Unitarian
8. Cooperative Baptist Fellowship
9. Alliance of Baptists

10. UMC = United Methodist Church. They are approaching a schism over the issue of homosexuality. Many fine UMC parishes out there, but you need to check closely. If you see/hear signs of the church pushing "social justice", brush the dust off your feet and don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you.

Also, there are big events like Camp O Ree and stuff, everyone goes. You could have a flamer’s patrol at mess with you, at events with you, sharing the latrine with you. . . how appealing. ... Not to mention that added allure for homosexual adults to get involved with the Scouts, now, as more willing sex partners are easier to find. Good grief. This nation has lost its mind.

Yes, the next problem is when your son's unit participates in joint/district/council/national/international scouting events. Be mindful of this, but let's not cross this bridge yet - we may not have to.

We are just a bunch of mind numb robots.

The new BSA will become the Brown-shirted SA to fulfill Obama’s dream of the National Civilian Security Force he so desires!

You know that premise of The Pink Swastika is about homosexuality being rampant in Hitler’s ranks and that it had a lot to do with the vicious war machine that it became driven by hatred and intolerance.

Look at the trend over the past 40 to 50 years of the homosexualization of every aspect of America. Don’t think the Nazis of old haven’t influenced that trend. Just look at my profile page and check out the ‘Nazi’ section.

And now rabid homos can make court cases against individual units who have no money for big lawyers.

It’s vilely abhorrant.
