The Boy Scouts of America is considering a resolution that calls for ending a 102-year-old policy they’ve grappled with in recent years: banning gay scouts and scout leaders, gay advocates told msnbc.com on Wednesday. Though the organization said it would review the proposal, a spokesman insisted there were no plans to change the policy.
The new policy would throw out the national ban and allow local chartering organizations to decide whether or not they would accept gay youth and leaders, said Zach Wahls, an Eagle Scout who has advocated for the change, citing unidentified people who attended the group's national annual meeting last week where the proposal was made.

I would bet Zack already has an idea for a few new Merit Badges
I remember 20 years ago when I was going to Cub Scout leader training that pedophiles constantly try to get into leadership positions in the Scouting program and vigilance is paramount.
You cannot leave your son with a football coach and now now weekend camping.
Might as well get rid of them if they crumble to a tiny 1% of the population.
We have a Priest in our Parish who was a young boy in Amsterdam. He told us a story about he and his father went to go to his Troop meeting one night. When they got there they were told; no more Boy Scouts. It’s now Hitler Youth. So they left. This will have the same effect. Just an aside. He lived on Van Gough Blvd. across from the Frank family.
There is a two-fold purpose to this. First, it will create an opportunity for recruitment to the ranks of homosexuals through the avenue of child molestation. Second, the resultant lawsuits will bankrupt and destroy the national organization, a prime goal of the homosexualist movement.

When the changes go into effect I expect to see an exodus from the BSA. But where will they go?
I know that the alternative to the Girl Scouts is the American Heritage Girls, but is there an alternative equivalent to the Boy Scouts?
I cannot believe what I just read. Throw the kids to the pedos.
Activities for the “Diversity” merit badge are likely still illegal in most states for most-age boy scouts.
In a free society, the correct response would be for these “activists” to start their own organization - one that reflects their own views.
But they’re not interested in freedom, they’re interested in pushing an agenda to bend everyone else to their whims.
Don’t do it, BSA! Many people support you because you are standing firm. Don’t squish.
The title should read,
“Boy Scouts Considering Going Homosexual.”
Media and Gubbermint have been beating on them for 16 rounds, and they are about to succumb. Just like Cracker Barrel.

Review is over. Now keep it and don’t ever change it.
Merit badge for finding another scouts butt with both hands maybe?
Because homosexuals cannot breed, they must RECRUIT.
It will be the end of scouting if they allow this.
What do the Girl Scouts do anymore besides sell cookies and extoll the virtues of GLBT diversity?
I don’t buy their cookies anymore.
