When he saved the Olympics he banned the Boy Scouts, so this should not be a surprise.

How is Romney actually better than 0bomba again? I still haven't been able to see that. He wants mentally ill sex perverts who are historically attracted to boys to be able to join the Boy Scouts. How is it the fates have ordained that no conservative voter can vote? How is this happening? Romney is a huge supporter of mentally ill sex perversion along with all his other leftist/liberal history. If Gingrich is really out (looks like it, I guess) I keep thinking - how can I vote for Robomney? And then I see an article like this. I just can't do it.

The whole article at the link is a propaganda piece.
Unless it has changed, the woman couldn’t have been Scoutmaster of the her son’s “troop” for two reasons. First, Scoutmasters for Scout Troops is reserved for men and secondly, her son is Cub Scout age and he would have been in a Cub Scout “Pack.”
The quote from Mitt is 16 years old and appears to support Scouts in the controversy at that time but ends with wanting all parents to be able to participate — which they can. Scouting keeps acknowledged homosexuals, as well as certain others, outside of Leadership, it doesn’t say they can’t be parents participating under the supervision of Leaders. Scouting has long required “two deep” leadership structure keeping youth supervised by two or more adults to prevent isolation of kids by one adult. This is safer for adults as well.
I think that these people that get in fights with scouting love to drag in any crap from the political and national front to support their line — even an ambiguous 16 year old, out of context, quote.
I have a lot of problems with Mitt Romney, but this is a red herring.
I should point out that the Boy Scouts do not actively seek to determine the sexual orientation of the boys who participate in scouts. The organization precludes gays from being leaders, but also doesn’t specifically target gay parents to keep them from parental involvement in scouting activities.
It is the leadership that the BSA focuses on, now as in 1994. I think some people get confused between the words “participate” and “serve” (like this headline did).
I realize that some people here at this site would support the BSA inquiring about sexual orientation and denying gay-identified boys from joining. The scouts do “tend” to deny atheists, after all, if they are outspoken — because it violates part of the scout oath.
Romney sure doesn’t make it easy to vote for him.
Last straw.
Funny how the Mitt-wits parse the first part of his sentence, but they never seem to try to parse THIS.
Go right ahead, conservatives...vote for this clown. Goode is looking better and better...
No. Just no. No gay scout leaders, and no Romney for any longer than it takes to get B Hussein out of OUR White House, if Mitt is even of any help with that.
Well, here we go...
I hope, Dear God, I hope this doesn’t link to “rumors,” but rumors spread by former Mormons, of abuse of boys in “Utah”.
Would Romney trust one of his 5 sons with a homosexual scoutmaster? Does the BSA really want to have their own version of the pedophile priests scandal that happened in the RCC?
Virgil Goode Jr.’s sounding like a better Presidential candidate to me all the time.

Suuuuree — have more boys molested.
And this guy is the best republicans have to offer? We’re doomed.
I was starting to waver there about whether I would vote for Romney if he won the nomination. Thanks for posting.
GOPe’s favoriate pervert has to know that homos were raping the heck out of boys and that is why they are banned from taking the kiddos on camping trips in the woods and running summer camps. Mittens likes it.
Hey Mitt, how did that work out for Penn St. football?
